I can't believe how long this song has been on my heart to write a blog, but it just wouldn't come out.
God truly is crazy Amazing!! He knows our hearts when we pray and if we are really trusting Him in the prayers that we are praying. Also resting in Him and knowing He's got it. You know, like Isaiah 26: 3 says, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trust in You."
He's faithful, and has showed me that time and time again, and because of this I know that He is able to do above and beyond what I can even imagine, Ephesians 3:20 .
But now I know why it just wasn't flowing into a blog. This gift He has given me is for His glory and truth. I can't write, if the song or scripture that moved me to write isn't really happening within myself, even though I think it is. With God, things He creates in us aren't in part, but the whole thing.
Then the lyrics were Magnified in my ears like I never heard them before. Something like when you read a bible verse over and over and all of a sudden it jumps out at you because you are in the middle of experiencing it, or about to. Again Isaiah 26: 3 came alive! "WHOSE MIND IS STAYED ON YOU"
You see, I don't have a problem with trusting God. It's just where I let my mind take me when I'm looking at what the enemy wants me to focus on, rather than my Great God. He truly is Prince of peace if we do just as these lyrics say.....
"All the worries of this world. I will lay them at Your feet. Surrender EVERY ANXIOUS THOUGHT for PERFECT PEACE! All the LOVED ONES I hold dear. All my hopes and dreams and ALL MY FEARS. I will CHOOSE TO TRUST YOUR NAME, IN EVERYTHING!!!!!
The capitalized words is what was now being magnified to me. In the song and the scripture.
It's truly what He wants. To be, "Jesus, Lord of all!" He wants to show us His goodness and faithfulness, but how can He if we look at everything the enemy want us to focus on.
Now I can write..... "I will look up" for there is NONE above You.
Much love
