The old hymns are so powerful (we're still singing them in the traditional service), although it has been a long time since I've sung either of the ones you shared. I'm so thankful that we have the Lord's presence and protection, a safe place to run to.<br /><br />Blessings!<br />Kim Jollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08670842504983601263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-79963556931195201032017-10-16T13:28:06.511-04:002017-10-16T13:28:06.511-04:00Yes, I love the old hymns..they come back to me in...Yes, I love the old hymns..they come back to me in times of need or even times of praise...they bring comfort to my soul because they are familiar and they helped formed by growth and strength in my relationship with Christ. The new praise/worship/contemporary music also has blessed me, especially during the years I was driving back and forth every day to work and when my son was so sick with cancer. I believe God uses many forms of music to encourage and bless us and help us in our walk with the Lord. I can't wait to hear the heavenly choir someday...singing praise to our God and Savior...What a day that will be!!!Pamela M.

Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy the praise and worship music. These new choruses also express theology that comforts me. I was invited to a gospel sing a few weeks ago but, sadly, I couldn't go. Peace and Blessings.<br />quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-51842509739157688302017-10-16T07:16:16.607-04:002017-10-16T07:16:16.607-04:00I don't think I know that song you mentioned. ...I don't think I know that song you mentioned.

Like you said, sometimes the answer is not what we thought He would say...sometimes He already answered before and we just need to keep doing that...sometimes we want fireworks but the answer is, “Go make the chili. It’s almost dinner time,” which turns out to be better because you can’t eat fireworks.Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702620069148109246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756675007223295900.post-44855381679480619832017-10-15T16:49:02.216-04:002017-10-15T16:49:02.216-04:00Rock of Ages is one of my favorite hymns and it is...Rock of Ages is one of my favorite hymns and it is definitely appropriate to your reflection today (and in 2010).

I love this post and when I think about His glory, I think of the glory He has displayed in His Son, Jesus and the salvation provided for us - the majesty of the beauty of His creation and His faithfulness to us each day. That I am privileged to have His Word given given to me each day. So much glory He displays in the little things. I think we miss it sometimes because we want to see something big, as you say.
