So i was planning on writing this blog about Kabale and our experiences there (which were amazing by the way!) Then we were walking through downtown Kampala this morning and it hit me…God never takes a day off!! He is constantly at work in the lives of His people! As we were walking through the city i saw so many limp people-people with crutches, with canes, just sitting on the ground with limbs too thin or weak to work-and I was overcome with a feeling of sadness. i mean to see these people just sitting there on the sidewalk just did something to me…it twisted up my insides. i wish i could say that one of these people got up and walked or they were miraculously healed, but i can't. What i can say is God calmed my spirit as only He can. i was reminded of Chris Tomlin's song, "You are God of this City" and thought i'd include the lyrics below. He is God of THIS city and He is Lord of THIS nation!!
[Verse 1]
You're the God of this City
You're the King of these people
You're the Lord of this nation
You are
[Verse 2]
You're the Light in this darkness
You're the Hope to the hopeless
You're the Peace to the restless
You are
There is no one like our God
There is no one like our God
[Chorus]
For greater things have yet to come
And greater things are still to be done in this City
Greater thing have yet to come
