Living In The Light Of Truth

Shout to the Lord, is one of the first songs I heard before becoming a Christian....over two years back...standing at the doorway entrance of Kensington Community Center and hearing this song brought a stirring in my heart. Looking at the people worshiping God with their lifted hands and their voices. I felt a sense of peace and love that God impressed in my heart. I felt his strong presence. The only friend I knew from church did not come yet, so I stood there listening to the song...

"My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and stray. Let every breath, all that I am never cease to worship you....shout to the lord all the earth, power and majesty praise to the king. Mountains bow down and seas will roar at the sound of your name...I sing for joy at the works of your hands, forever I will love you, forever I will stand. Nothing compares to the promise I have in you..."

After the song i left and drove back, as I drove past the last train station that is near Kensington, I saw my friend walking towards church. He saw me and waved. I U-turned my car and picked him up,went back to church and did not turned back since then.

Although there has been many tribulations n trials some that men put before me, some from myself and many from God. The reason I have stood firm in church and persevered through it all is because of truth. The answer. The love. All accredited to my God.

He is my tower, refuge and fortress in times of trouble. He is my strength, power and hope when I am running. He is my all in all. He is my Lord Jesus. No matter what i have and would be facing, the crossroads and the circumstance. When I choose to prioritize God, to choose to do what is right although people would not understand. I have made it through clinging to the promises that he has given me. He is my provider, my protector, my healer, my strength, my wisdom and my God.
