Beelieve- Know God Intimately - Why Am I Doing The Happy Dance?
Posted Feb 02 2009 11:44pm
The Omnipotence of God – All Powerful – He IS Able! This attribute of God excites me! God is Able! I am not always able; others are not always able; but God – the All Powerful God- HE IS ABLE to do exceeding more than I could even imagine! This makes me want to do the happy dance! Yes, I just did the happy dance people! Just the thought of it makes me want to shout and praise God!
Why does this excite me so much? There are so many reasons, but I want to share at least some today.
As one who lives with multiple chronic illnesses, I am not able to do many things. I find myself unable to walk some days, or walk on steady feet; simple household chores like washing dishes or laundry can be difficult to do some days. Cleaning my house is almost a never –thank God for my three Deb’s who volunteer to clean our apartment! Cooking is difficult due not being able to stand for a time or sheer exhaustion from my chronic illnesses (I am thankful for Heather, my daughter who cooks for us). Even sitting at the computer for any length of time is painful and exhausting. I think the worst of it is my mind – it just isn’t what it used to be! At 51 years of age I have the mind of someone twenty years older… seriously! All this can certainly frustrate me, let alone my family. Yes, all this and more can be so frustrating but, I have a God who IS able!
My God calms my storms; removes my fears; wipes away my tears; holds me in His tender loving arms; heals my broken heart and spirit; gives me rest for my weary body and soul; recharges and refreshes my mind, body and spirit; answers my prayers; gives me a sense of humor so I can even laugh at myself; encourages and prods me to continue on when I just want to give up; and most of all – He loves me so much that He is able to forgive my foolish ways and sinful heart!
There is an old chorus we used to sing in church back in the late 70’s early 80’s. “ He’s Able ”. This morning I was trying to remember the song. I prayed and asked the Lord to give me the song again so I could share the words… I wish I could share the tune with you, but I could not find the music on the internet; but here are the lyrics:
He’s able, He’s able I know He’s able I know my God is able to carry me through.
He healed the brokenhearted And he set the captive free He made the lame to walk again And He caused the blind to see.
He’s able, He’s able I know He’s able I know my God is able to carry me through.
Why am I doing the happy dance in my chair? Because I KNOW MY GOD IS ABLE TO CARRY ME THROUGH!Praise God!
Thank you Heavenly Omnipotent Father for always being ABLE when I am not!
