Discernment

Went to the discernment retreat for all the sovereign grace churches in north florida this weekend. It was awesome. There was great fellowship with the Redeemer guys. I felt very freed up in worship too. Aron Osborne spoke on the topic of discernment for three sessions. It was a lot to take in. He used the first couple of chapters of Daniel and 1st John as texts. I have a lot of room to grow in this area. I need God's help when it comes to making wise decisions. I don't really feel the weight of the decisions that I make sometimes! #YIKES I want to be a man of God and I want to honor God in my thoughts and actions. Sometimes my life doesn't match up to that and I miss an opportunity to make much of God.

This verse was stuck in my head this weekend:

"For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison." 2 Corinthians 4:17

I'm not going through anything like Daniel went through, but it brings a smile on my face to think of the glory that I will see when I see God.

The Saving One by Starfield

What mercy was revealed
What selflessness and peace
My fate was surely sealed
Until He rescued me
His pardon for my sin
His bounty for my need
From slavery and shame
I am redeemed

And Heaven can't contain
The glory of the Son
Jesus is the Christ, the saving One
His love has made a way
The grave is overcome
Jesus is the Christ, the saving One

No fear can hold me down
Nor darkness steal my joy
For blood has been poured out
The enemy destroyed
Death could not hold Him down
The cross was not enough
To steal away His throne
For He is God

And Heaven can't contain
The glory of the Son
Jesus is the Christ, the saving One
His love has made a way
The grave is overcome
Jesus is the Christ, the saving One

Anyone who calls upon His name
They will be saved
They will be saved
Anyone who calls upon His name
They will be saved
They will be saved

And Heaven can't contain
The glory of the Son
Jesus is the Christ, the saving One
His love has made a way
The grave is overcome
Jesus is the Christ, the saving One [x2]

Anyone who calls upon His name
They will be saved
They will be saved
Anyone who calls upon His name
They will be saved
They will be saved
