Our God is Able

Joey and I went to a conference this weekend called, Together for Adoption.  It was not exactly what expected. I think that was expecting a conference geared toward the adoptive parent with practical advice for the day to day struggles.  This was more than that…it was theology…revealing the heart of God. It was about orphan care as a way to proclaim the gospel. We heard 4 pastors preach about adoption as it is found in scripture.  We were once outside the family of God, but because of Jesus, we have been adopted in and can claim our rightful place as children of God!  It was deep, and meaty, and thought provoking.

During the main sessions of the conference, we sang praises to God and worshiped.  I needed this time to be reminded who God is.  In the waiting, I can take my eyes off my Loving Father and put them on all the obstacles in our path.  Worship reminds me where my focus should be.  One of the songs we sang was God is Able by Hillsong.  This is what my spirit needed to sing…God is able…He has done great things…He can do great things…He is Almighty God.  He is able to move the paperwork through this system.  He is able to prepare Miriam’s heart for attaching to our family.  He is able to schedule a date with the US Embassy.  He is able to knit our family together.  AND even when I can’t see any of this happening, and I begin to panic because every day I run to the mailbox and the approval is not there…I KNOW HE IS ABLE. I will choose to trust.

God Is Able
He Will Never Fail
He Is Almighty God

Greater Than All We Seek
Greater Than All We Ask
He Has Done Great Things

Chorus
Lifted Up
He Defeated The Grave
Raised To Life
Our God Is Able
In His Name We Overcome
For The Lord
Our God Is Able[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hillsong/god_is_able.html ]
God Is With Us
God Is On Our Side
He Will Make A Way

Far Above All We Hope
He Has Done Great Things

Repeat Chorus

God Is With Us
He Will Go Before
He Will Never Leave Us
He Will Never Leave Us

God Is For Us
He Has Open Arms
He Will Never Fail Us
He Will Never Fail Us
