Mighty to Save

Ever since getting my car back from the place that repaired it after the tree fell on it, my radio/cd player has decided not to work. At the beginning when I first realized this, it was so frustrating! I am one who LOVES music and pretty much would always have it on in the car. However, recently, I started thinking that maybe this was a gift... time. Quiet. Time to spend with just Jesus and me. And I decided that when I was alone in the car, I would use it to pray, or to call friends who I know are going through hard times and try to encourage them and see how I can be praying for them.

Today on the way to church, I decided to pray for my unsaved friends. Five in particular are ones that the Lord has completely laid on my heart. I was praying as i was driving down the mountain. Praying that these five people would one day be with me in Heaven. That they would one day turn to Him and accept Him as their Savior. That He would use me as an instrument in their lives to show them His love and His truth.

Then when I went to church, we sang this song:

My Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever
Author of Salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave!

Whew! I needless to say (for any of you that know me) was crying when we sang this. The 20 minute drive to church I was praying that the Lord would save these people... and then we sang about how my God is MIGHTY to save! He can move whatever 'mountain's there are in their lives and He can save them! He is more than able. It was just so reassuring and comforting to know that my Jesus who conquered the grave, who save a sinner such as I, can also save these dear friends of mine as well.

God is so good. I think I'm going to enjoy having this alone time with just me and Him in the car. It's a great thing to do every now and then even if you do have a radio. Life is so busy. We can be so caught up in a million other things... but if Jesus isn't at the center, and if we don't take that personal alone time with Him, things can get really hard really fast. Spend time with Him today. Pray for people in your life who don't know him, even if you've been praying for them for years. Don't give up.

Because our God is MIGHTY to save.
