Resting with a heating pad...
Feeling the same as yesterday. Sore, itchy, tired of not being able to do everything I want and need to do. I've been emotional and I have to admit fearful of what the future holds. I know God is faithful, good, and trustworthy with my mind but my flesh is freaking out. The problem is that my emotions prefer to listen to my flesh. These emotions of mine betray me! I must take every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ (For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5). And rest in His perfect peace (The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, Because he trusts in You. Trust in the Lord forever, For in God the Lord, we have an everlasting Rock. Isaiah 26:3-4). Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God! I will walk by faith into the future that God has prepared for me. Trusting Him that He will preserve my life and provide for me ("Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and behold, it is very good. And will you sit still? Do not delay to go, to enter, to possess the land. When you enter, you shall come to a secure people with a spacious land; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth." Judges 18:9-10). It's gonna be alright! No matter what happens It's gonna be alright!
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:3-12)
These are the songs I'm singing today:
Newsboys "Gonna be Alright"
(This is the 5th song down from the top in my play list if you want to listen to it.)
Inside me, there’s a child afraid of
Growing up and letting go
Inside me, there’s a world of danger
Could you pull this whole thing down?
’Cause inside you there’s much forgiveness
Endless love unconditional
And inside you there’s a world of favor
Rising up (and) breaking through
Oh, how He loves you and me
OH, IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
ALL THESE THINGS WILL HAVE THEIR TIME
OH, IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
ALL THESE THINGS WILL FIND THEIR TIME
Inside me there’s a child afraid of
Moving in and getting close
Inside you there’s a world of healing
Ever free…..so dangerous
Oh, how He loves you and me
OH, IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
ALL THESE THINGS WILL HAVE THEIR TIME
OH, IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
ALL THESE THINGS WILL FIND THEIR TIME
IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT
IT’S GONNA BE ALRIGHT.
Newsboys "Stay Strong"
( This is the 23rd song down from the top of my play list if you want to listen to it.)
You're in the moment now
A bitter root
A wandering eye and then
The ties that bind start wearing thin, thin
You're in the moment now
When all you've been blessed with
Is not enough
Here's where the ground gets loose
Here's where the devils call your bluff
Stay strong
You are not lost
Come on and fix your eyes ahead
There's a new dawn to light our day, our day
You've gotta stay strong
You and I run
For the prize that lies ahead
We've come too far to lose our way, our way
We've seen the tragic flaws
The tortured souls
The saints with feet of clay
Here's where sin becomes cliche'
We've come through wilderness and watched
The cloud by day
The burning sky into dawn
Have you forgotten who you are?
Did you forget whose trip you're on?
Stay strong
You are not lost
Come on and fix your eyes ahead
There's a new dawn to light our day, our day
We've gotta stay strong
You and I run
For the prize that lies ahead
We've come too far to lose our way, our way
Get up, there's further to go
Get up, there's more to be done
Get up, this witness is sure
Get up, this race can be won
This race can be won
We've gotta stay strong
You are not lost
Come on and fix your eyes ahead
Our Father's dawn will light our day, our day
Come on and stay strong
His grip is sure
And His patience still endures
There'll be no letting go today, no way
Come on, and stay strong
You and I run
For the prize that lies ahead
We've come too far to lose our way, our way
