Serving the Lord

Hey everybody!
​From year to year Ghana Rock has been one miracle after another; God has been working in awesome ways with this group of teenagers. I know, without a doubt, it was solely because of Him that we’ve had success 2 years in a row (going on 3!). I know what some of you may have been thinking, “Gosh, this group of teenagers is outstanding! Look at what they have done!” I am not denying that this group of teenagers is a great group of people; however, we cannot take the credit for our success, it’s the Lord’s. Let’s face it ya’ll, I am on the team! Even with this deadweight (this blog was due two days ago…), our heavenly Father has granted us huge success! In Philippians 2:13, it is written, “For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” And in Romans 11:36, “For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.” I just wanted to remind myself and everyone that our God is great and it is through him that every good work comes. So let’s remember to praise him:

Psalm 29 -
“Ascribe to the Lord, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
worship the Lord in the splendor of his[a] holiness.
3 The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the Lord thunders over the mighty waters.
4 The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is majestic.
5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
the Lord breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6 He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion[b] like a young wild ox.
7 The voice of the Lord strikes
with flashes of lightning.
8 The voice of the Lord shakes the desert;
the Lord shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
9 The voice of the Lord twists the oaks[c]
and strips the forests bare.
And in his temple all cry, “Glory!”
10 The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
the Lord is enthroned as King forever.
11 The Lord gives strength to his people;
the Lord blesses his people with peace.”

This is the God we serve. Let’s remember that throughout our days. Only through him can we do all that is good.
-Micah Levinson

“9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.”- Philippians 1:9-11
