Been There, Done That
I've been having a funky week since Tuesday, vacillating between up, down, and around. Feeling the kind of desolation some say a child of God shouldn't feel.
To them I say...Bah humbug! It's that train of thought that traps us into walking around pretending we've got our act together, while slowly splintering inside. Been there, done that...writing the memoir.
I'm here to tell you today, that there's nothing wrong with your spiritual walk, if you feel lost, alone, afraid, abandoned or whatever your feeling of the moment may be. As long as you're on this earth, you and I are privy to all the emotional fallouts that assail the good, the bad, the ugly and yes--the Godly.
But, unlike the ungodly, we have promises just for these moments in life:
Sad?
Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
Stuck?
There's a time and purpose for everything under heaven.
Abandoned?
When your mother and father forsake you, the Lord will take you up.
Scared?
Lo, I am with you...always.
Threatened?
No weapon formed against you shall prosper.
Inadequate?
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Questioning?
All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose!
I don't know about you, but I'm starting to feel better already.
Have a blessed day folks!
Peace,
Dee
Song for today:
All in All
From Modern Worship Soundtracks
You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
Seeking you as a precious jewel
Were I to give up I’d be a fool
You are my all in all
Chorus:
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name
Taking my sin my cross my shame
Rising again I bless Your name
You are my all in all
When I fall down You pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all
Chorus:
