God blessed Texas

In the early 90’s I started listening to country music. One of the first artists I listened to was Garth Brooks. He is one of the GOATs. Another band on the scene was called Little Texas. They were not nearly as popular as Garth but had some great songs that are still around today. One of their hits was from 1993 called, “God blessed Texas”. This was a great rock, country song that paid tribute to the great state of Texas. The chorus went like this, “God blessed Texas with His own hands, brought down angels from the promise land. Gave them a place where they could dance if you wanna see Heaven brother here’s your chance. I’ve been sent to spread the message, God Blessed Texas.” The whole song references the beauty of Texas (and they include the females from Texas). The song is true and I was blessed enough to marry a beautiful East Texas girl.

The song is true, God did bless Texas. This is an amazing state geographically as well as the folks that are proud to be called Texans. There is a great deal of pride in the heart of us Texans that I am not sure exists in some other states. We have a deeper history that runs through this great state which causes anyone from Texas to walk with a little more swagger than the rest. I am probably bias because I’m from Texas but it really is the best. And the Lord shows off His majesty in this beautiful state.

It is August in Texas, and normally we are burning up by this point in the summer. Thankfully, we have had above average rain fall this summer and all week the Lord has been providing some amazing clouds each morning. I took the picture above on my way to the church this week. God’s glory is everywhere. Romans 1:20 says that God’s invisible qualities are all around us. You may just look at that picture and see clouds but I hope you see the Glory of the King of Kings who is at the right hand of the Father. Have a good one.
