I've found in recent months that a way God speaks to me in through music. Certain lyrics or choruses will suddenly start playing in my mind and have nothing to do with what I was doing but speak so perfectly to my soul. He has even used some secular songs to speak to me. Increasing, I will even wake up singing a song that later proves to be just what I needed for what the day holds. Today was a perfect example. =)
That song couldn't express what has been in my heart more perfectly. I was singing it to God all morning from a desperate place of needing Him and when I turned it on, His beautiful response came in the next song on my shuffle.
It is so good to be reminded who it is that gets me through, because it for sure isn't me! Halleluyah He holds me through everything and I really can feel His arms around me. Holding me close to Him and keeping me safe even when I feel like I'm falling apart. He is not just here to rescue me, though. The Bible is riddled with verses like Psalm 9:9 "The Lord is a refuge for the crushed one, a refuge in times of distress." But I don't want my relationship with him to be solely based on surviving. He did not make me to survive but to thrive. I am reminded to look to verses like 1 John 5:14-15 "And this is the confidence we have in approaching Him: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have what we asked of Him." And Revelation 5:10 "You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the Earth." He is "the strength of my heart" when "my heart and flesh fail" (Psalm 73:26) but that is not the end! Halleluyah!
