The Lord is indeed impressive! Astonishing, really. Especially in the creative ways He nurtures our faith… how He keeps us believing forward.
I’m just a couple of years south of fifty in this walk with Him. I’ve traveled some miles. He hasn’t given me everything I’ve wanted, and He has allowed things I never wanted. Yet not once – not in the darkest night or the longest valley – have I wanted “out” of my relationship with Him. Somehow, through every season and storm, He’s become more precious to me than He ever was.
I’ve wanted more from life, but I’ve never wanted less of Him. I’ve chased other things, but I’ve never believed anything was better than Him.
So here I am today, still talking about how marvelous He is. Still unspeakably grateful to be sharing life with Him. Still feeling the joy of knowing Him and the bright anticipation of knowing Him even better. Not just because of the wonderful things He’s done, but also despite the landmines that detonated under my feet and the rubble I had to climb through afterward.
This isn’t the sound of my faithfulness; it’s the song of His impressiveness. And He’s not even trying to be. He simply is. And my highest praise falls woefully short of the reality of His wonders.
As it is written: “Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully declare His praise?” (Psalm 106:2)
