I was listening to a song this morning titled “Throne Room” by Kim Walker-Smith. In it, she references the only thing she could do was fall on her knees and sing holy, holy, holy.

Not sure why it took me back, but as I listened, I went back to the days of my grandfather. I recall one specific time when he was sick and in the hospital, I could remember sitting there in the waiting room, let me say, I was not even a Christian then, but I remember going to the chapel and sitting there on the pew, and the only words that came to my mind was holy, holy, holy… 

Now I didn’t attend church, did not grow up in the church and was very unfamiliar with Jesus or having a relationship with him.  

But as I pondered over this memory coming back to my mind, it made me reflect on the scripture

Jeremiah 1:5, it reads; Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” 

so, although there are some who did not grow up in the church, such as myself until my older years, every one of us was born with a God given measure of faith, this faith even if only the size of a mustard seed was imparted to us at the beginning of our creation.

Honestly, I don’t know where this is even going this morning as I ponder over it, but the thing that speaks so loudly to me, just like the day that I went into the hospital chapel there was a natural instinct within me that knew where my ultimate answer came from. 

As a I am reminded this morning. I immediately ask God to forgive me for the many opportunities that he’s given me over the years that I closed the blind eye or turned my ear away, forgive me for the choices that I made because of the emotions I was in…Many things I reflect over this morning, but my word of encouragement to us today is remembering, remembering what Christ did for us on the cross that included giving us his mercies, his grace, and forgiveness.

Maybe this is for someone in particular, maybe it’s just for me,but my prayer, my hope is that we all can reflect and remember and recall the goodness of God for the things, the opportunities and the chances he gives us time after time… Blessings friends.
