IDOK DEVOTION FOR TUESDAY, MAY 20, 2008
I am continuing to hear in the sound booth of my mind a song we sang Sunday morning at Thomasville Road Baptist Church in Tallahassee, Florida. It is a song I have heard many times but Sunday a particular phrase issued a calling and an invitation and not just for me but for another. That ‘another’ may be you. As we sang the words
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
The phrase, And all will see how great, how great is our God, became a calling to me. A calling to sing. No, I don’t have a melodious voice for public worship. But the call is to praise (sing) God with my daily comings and goings and the invitation is that if I and another and another will join in then ALL WILL SEE HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD. Is there anything more needed here in America and around the world than this – for All TO SEE HOW GREAT, HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD?
A friend helped me understand this. She sings; not in the choir, not in an ensemble – mind you she could, her voice is that pleasing – she sings in the morning. Yes! In the morning when she first arises as she is readying herself for the day. Can you imagine that?! I am convinced, she sings because she is worshipping Him as she breathes. I love it!! Can you imagine how much Father loves it?!
As I said I am not much of a singer but speaking (singing) out (in tune and on key is optional) those solid rock worship hymns just might make a world of difference in us. Our hearts just might start singing and our faces just might light up and all who see us just might begin to get a glimpse that OUR GOD IS GREAT!
Could it be that just speaking of His Goodness, saying thank You to Him as you breathe in and out is singing? Could it be just maybe your calling is to ‘sing’ and show How Great Is Your God this Tuesday afternoon when the day is getting long and it feels like ‘quittin’ time’? Yeah, me too!
Chris Tomlin – How Great Is Our God
The splendor of a King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Chris Tomlin – How Great Is Our God
The splendor of a King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Psalm 9:
10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion!
Declare His deeds among the people.
Psalm 57:
8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto Thee among the nations.
10 For Thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the clouds.
Father, thank You for tears, happy tears, tears of emotion getting just a glimpse of Your Greatness. Yes Lord how great You are; help me sing how Great is my God. I am counting on You day by day to teach me and cause me to sing about You and for You. I pray You will anoint this IDOK and that sisters and brothers will ‘sing’ the song; that we all will worship You with each breath. And because these have needs and because You have invited us and commanded us to pray, we pray now that today they will receive Strength to glorify You in their infirmities; will find renewed courage to wait for the answers You are sure to give them; will have discernment and wisdom to make decisions, both small and great; that wayward children and grandchildren will come home; that lost ones will agree to be found; that ears will hear; that wombs will bear children; that diseases will be eradicated and bodies, minds and spirits will be made whole. Thank You for the protection You have given our IDOK Troops; thank You for hearing our prayers for them and for protecting them in a hostile world and we ask again today that You protect them, that You guard their bodies, minds and spirits and that You bring them home more in love with You than when they deployed. And there are others on our minds and we want them to love You deeper too and we pray that it will be so, soon. As we have done so many other days, we pray for America, asking You for mercy, asking You to forgive and grant grace and space for sinners to repent. And asking that You open the eyes of people to what is happening here, that the blinders and darkness that has fallen upon the minds and eyes of people be lifted; that presidential candidates will repent or be removed from the race; that Senators and Representatives repent or be removed from office. Lord, save America. And we pray for relief from the greed of corporations, we’d like to see the price of gasoline and food reduced; we’d like to see insurance companies and health care providers care more about people than profit. Father, our cry is that we live in a corrupt world and only You can save us. Thank You for Your Salvation that is sure to come. We continue to pray for Israel’s Peace and Holy Spirit be poured out on us, so poured out on us that IDOKs will prophesy even as Your Word says. Amen and amen. Darlene. Rachel. Allison.
