But The Lord, Therefore. [Sundays]

“But The Lord was my support.” He is my savior, my stronghold and my shield. “Therefore I will praise Him, The Lord, among the nations.”

             I praise him. Forever.

In all of the world, in every nation, amongst every tribe, there will be found no one quite like Jesus. And there are no words, no accurate tongue, to give justice to Him, our most excellent savior. He is our constant support our ever present savior. He is perfect and with my voluminous vocabulary, still, words are absent, therefore all I can do is praise Him.

“Therefore,” I praise Him. Forever.

I praise Him because His love is divine. Divine for all of the world. Divine for Cambodia. And I see that. I see His divine love when I go to church every Sunday in the village Toulpongroo. I see it covering every student that joins in on Sundays and lifts up songs. I see it as four teens make up the worship team, and they sing with all their heart. I see it in every kid that finds themselves eager to learn about Jesus. I see it in every hug and every moment I get to say to someone "I love you," and  moreover "Jesus loves you." I see it when it is time to give and parents and children are begging for the offering “bag” to come by them so they can sow. I see it as students that have attended our church at Toulpongroo for quite a while, earnestly invite their parents to come with them. I see it as kids say “I love Jesus 100%.” I see it as lives are literally changed every Sunday.

“Therefore,” I praise Him. Forever.

I also see His divine love over every person that passes our church without coming in. I see it as I pass the row of houses filled with people who wouldn’t even consider coming into our church. I see it covering the Buddhist monk that never misses a Sunday to be in this village. I see it all over the people who watch from the outside of our fence, hesitant to the true gospel. I see it as mottos race pass the opportunity to see come to Light Church. I see Christ’ divine love all over Toulpongroo. Every Sunday His presence is contending for lives and welcoming home His dearly loved.

                “Therefore,” I praise Him. Forever.

Toulpongroo, once an “unreached” community is now familiar with the Name above all names, Jesus. Whole families are coming to know Christ and leaning on Him as their Rock. Students share their shock, of Jesus actually answering their prayers. Because He does. Those same students are the very ones whose first thought is to pray over a problem. The Light of Christ is evident and oh so tangible. People are lifting up that name that is above all names, Jesus.

                “Therefore,” I praise Him. Forever.

I can assure I have no accurate words to share what I have seen The Lord do thus far in Toulpongroo. I can’t describe how the gospel changes people, but I can testify that it does. It always does. It always will.

                “Therefore,” I praise Him. Forever.

“But the Lord,” is the savior, stronghold, and the shield of this world. He is the savior of all nations. He has shielded Cambodia so that, the gospel can change people. He has gone before us into Toulpongroo to be the stronghold that will not be shaken. He is in every part of the world shielding and saving. He is perfect for all people. He covers every tribe with divine love.

                                “Therefore,” I praise Him. Forever.

He is our support as we go to be a part of His kingdom work. He allows me to see His tangible presence. The Lord invites Himself inside of me, so I can share in the power of the true gospel. He is my savior, stronghold and my shield.   

“Therefore,” I praise Him. Forever.
