Praise God the Father who's the source; Praise God the Son who is the course; Praise God the Spirit who's the flow; Praise God, our portion here below! |
Formerly, God was outside of man and had nothing to do with man; there was a great distance between God and man. However, the Triune God desires to transmit Himself into us. In order for the Triune God to fulfill this desire, God the Father is the source, God the Son is the course, and God the Spirit is the flow (2 Cor. 13:14). This thought is expressed in the second stanza of a hymn in our hymnal: "Praise God the Father who's the source; / Praise God the Son who is the course; / Praise God the Spirit who's the flow; / Praise God, our portion here below!" (Hymns, #8). The Spirit is revealed as the flow of the Trinity in Revelation 22:1. This verse says that the river of water of life, a symbol of the Spirit, proceeds out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of the street (cf. John 7:37-39). This indicates that the Spirit as the river of water of life flows and that this river has not only a source from which it flows but also a course, a way in which the source flows. In Revelation 22:1 the Triune God, the Divine Being, is portrayed as living water in three aspects: the source, the course, and the flow. God the Father is the source of the river of water of life, God the Son is the course of this river, and God the Spirit is the flow of the river. In the New Jerusalem the river of water of life spirals down from the throne in the middle of the golden street to water the whole city. This is a picture of the transmission of the Triune God as living water into the believers. When the Spirit as the flow comes to reach us, the entire Triune God is transmitted into us.

I am a great sinner, but Christ is a greater savior.

As a reluctant draftee during the Vietnam era that song was truly a comfort and blessing to me!
I had never heard it until I was in a religious service in station in Texas. It brought comfort before being shipped to Vietnam!

~As I was digging into Lamentations 4:8, and thinking back to the Spiritual famine in which I lived, apart from THE LORD, and to where HE has brought me (still imperfect…but HE’S working! ), these words came joyfully screaming into my mind and heart…

I am part of a text chain of men who worship God. Our group leader placed an afternoon call for all men to Praise God. I remembered this song as a young boy in church about 40 years ago. I always sing it to myself, but now shared it with the others as a form of Praise and Worship.

The song reminds me of how we are going to be singing God’s praise for eternity in heaven. My soul shall magnify the Lord all the days of my live here bellow. Amen!

I will be going to bless the high-schoolers of two local schools next week (D. V. ) and I asked the LORD how should I open in prayer. And He gave me the first verse of this hymn. Amazing are His ways!

In recent years since Covid, a sweet fellow church member suggested to the congregation that instead of humming the "happy birthday" tune while washing your hands, to sing or hum the first verse of the doxology. I must say, it has been a tremendous blessing for me since she suggested it! Thank you Lord for laying it on her heart to share with us!!! It has brought about more opportunities to commune with the Lord throughout my day.
Amennnn
