the nations

One of my favorite songs that our home church in Kansas City introduced us to was "You Said" by Hillsong. If you've never heard it, go find it, and give it a listen.

I had missed singing it when we came here, though, so I was surprised when we sang it in chapel last week. There I stood with my sisters and brothers, these who have become great friends, from places like Myanmar, China, Korea, Philippines, India, Russia, and Columbia, asking God for the nations. I don't know about the whole earth yet, but God's glory filled that place.

And there I stood with them--a privilege--declaring that the distant shores and islands would see God's light, which, from where we stood then, included North America as well. Praise God for His goodness, wisdom, and forever faithful love that is speaking to the nations.
