Just Something About You Lord!

On my way home this afternoon with Jeremy Camp CD playing very loudly. Had to press 'repeat' on the player. I love this song. "Something about You, how do I describe the God of the universe?" "Speak every language and I'm still tongue-tied." "Keeps me in pursuit of who you are, spending my days and find a way to praise the glory of who you are"...just somethin' about You Lord!

We have no human words to adequately describe God, that's why the angels don't bother with anything else, but praise Him eternally. That's a truth for us today, the exortation is to praise Him in all things. It doesn't mean we are jumping up and down happy about bad things happening, just that God is this God, the only God who is worthy of praise forever, including the time we spend here on earth. It's good practice! The joy we feel is about who God is to us and not what our circumstances are. That is plenty of joy to get us through anything and everything. In the middle of a big, fat argument, stop, pray and praise. It defeats the devil. I know I just heard cheers about that last statement!

There's just somethin' about You Lord!
