Sunny Sunday

I need to go and get ready for church, but came across this and thought that I would post it today, cause it's Sunday and I'm thinking about how blessed I am and how I can't wait to get to church and sing my lungs out to the one who rescued me. If you are still with me, this was on Beth Moore's blog this morning.

Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in His presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored His name. Malachi 3:16 NIV

Try to grasp what that Scripture suggests. Every time we boast in the Lord with each other - face-to-face, on the phone, picking the kids up at school, in the women's restroom at church, over email, on the blog - He stops to "listen and hear." Two different words are described for the attentiveness of His response. God listens. God HEARS. Scripture doesn't waste words. (John 21:25) If it uses several different descriptions to say the same general thing, we need to take notice because that intensity is meant to turn up the volume.The next sentence indicates that a secretary in the Kingdom of Heaven literally records either the occasion or perhaps the conversation itself on something called "a scroll of remembrance." I don't know about you but over the course of my life time, I want to keep that secretary writing as fast as his hand can fly across that scroll. Even this moment, a historical record is being kept of our communication in His Name. That's too much, isn't it?

Loved that. I hope we sing this http://www.tangle.com/view_video.php?viewkey=222ae9cdf71b55a02193 this morning!


Have a great day!
