IF I ONLY HAD TIME!

IF I ONLY HAD TIME!

Heb 11:32

32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

          This morning our choir will present a song with a 45 second interlude. Within this time one of our men has been asked to give a brief testimony of what God has done for him. He complains, with a broad smile, that he doesn’t have time to list all the things God has done for him.

In the midst of a litany of accomplishments of faith, the writer of Hebrews simply explains that he doesn’t have time to list all of God’s blessings! We often call this eleventh chapter “Faith’s Hall of Fame” but it is actually a list of wonderful blessings from the generous and miraculous hand of God. There is not enough time to list everything!

Chris Tomlin wrote these lyrics to a popular Christian song.

You’re the God of this city, You’re the King of these people
You’re the Lord of this nation, You are

You’re the Light in this darkness, You’re the Hope to the hopeless
You’re the Peace to the restless, You are

There is no one like our God, there is no one like our God

For greater things have yet to come, and greater things are still to be done in this city
Greater things have yet to come, and greater things are still to be done in this city

Greater things have yet to come, and greater things are still to be done here.

Dear Lord, your blessings are more than can be numbered and we know you are not finished! Thank you, Lord. AMEN
