my life to declare your...?

happy monday :)
i know i have been blogging a lot more than normal lately...haha but i'm posting again because i had a revelation yesterday that i want to share...

so at church we sang the song - The Stand, by Hillsong.
love that song. and i have heard it and sung it about a million times. but yesterday the line "my life to declare Your promise" stood out to me. basically as we sing that we are asking that our lives be a clear picture of God's promise. that when people look at our lives - they can't deny that God keeps His promises.
and i thought about that...
and i realized that God wanted me to be more specific in my prayer. He wants the prayer for my life to be - my life to declare Your faithfulness.
now - it kind of sounds like the same thing...but God has given us LOTS of promises throughout His word...promises to never leave our side, promises to love us, promises to provide all of our needs, and so many more.
now He is more than able to and He WILL fulfill all of His promises to us...
but i felt like God wanted to create a picture of His faithfulness that would stand out in my life, more than the other promises.
its a little (ok, a lot) scary to think about - asking God to really use my life so that throughout it all - His faithfulness will be seen.......but how can i say no to something like that? :)
to God's plan? we never know what we are missing out on by holding back...
today - take a few minutes and ask Him what He wants to use your life for. what He wants your life to declare to the whole world - for Him.
so that when people look at your life they KNOW that God is a provider, is loving, is a comforter, is joy, is...... - i dont know. only God knows.
but i have been reading stories about these people whose lives scream the characteristics of God. Esther - God's faithfulness. Ruth - God's grace and love. Paul - God's power. Esther that i blogged about a few days ago - God's provision, in helping her be prepared for what He was calling her to. amazing stuff, guys!

so i want my life to SCREAM "God IS faithful!"
He has already begun to show this in my life and is in the process of revealing it more. i pray that He continues to do so - so that my whole life declares that, and no one can deny that He is faithful, He will come through, He will speak and His words will not return empty. He is sovereign and He knows every detail.
amazing.

so-
fill in the blank...

My life to declare Your ...........
now start praying this over your life...knowing that if its of Him - He will keep His promises. And be ready to surrender yourself and let Him work in you so that He can accomplish all His purposes through you.
we have an invitaion to be a part of all He is doing - lets not minimize it or ignore it! its just too good to pass up...:)

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 2 Peter 1:3-4
