Musical musings

Today as I am sitting trying to find the motivation to study for my two exams tomorrow, I have been getting little nudges from God through the wonders of pandora.  Here are a few of them:


Be Thou my Wisdom, Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee, Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.


There's a voice that cries out in the silence
Searching for a heart that will love Him
Longing for a child that will give Him their all
Give it all, He wants it all
And there's a God that walks over the earth
He's searching for a heart that is desperate
And longing for a child
That will give Him their all
Give it all, He wants it all

And He says love me, love me with your whole heart
He wants it all today
Serve me, serve me with your life now
Bow down, let go of your idols
He wants it all today [x3]
So give it all


God so desperately needs our love.  He feels so much pain when just one of us turn away from Him.  I cannot even fathom how much He truly loves us.  In one sole action I can hurt the one person who loves me the most and who will never let me go.  My God is in such a deep relationship with me that He cries out when I forsake Him.  How easy is it for me to rush through life, not even taking a second glance at God's amazing work in my life?  This is God, my God.  He is the most POWERFUL, he is my TRUE WORD.  All of Him is with me forever, in everything.  His great power is in me, yet I can't even go one single day without causing Him pain.  This love is the love only love I need.  This amazing Agape. 

Studying??

Study- (verb) The act of texting, eating, and watching TV with an open textbook near by.

This is happening right now. I am so blessed to be "studying" with some amazing roomies and friends. These lazy day Sundays make the rest of the week worthwhile.

Lord, thank you for studying Sundays filled with football and amazing friends.

I can do ALL THINGS through Him who gives me strength.    Philippians 4:13

Reflecting on this passage I have realized that I do not rely on God for strength in all things.  In fact, I rely on God on only the tough things, the things that I know in my heart of hearts that I cannot possibly accomplish on my own.  In those situations I should be turning to Him for help and guidance, but what of the other moments in my life?

Does God not want to assist me in the small humbling tasks in my life?  Of course He does! HE helps me in all things, in every single thing I attempt in my life.

I pray that I use His amazing strength that He so willingly gives in the "easy" situations of my life.  I pray that I am constantly working alongside the Strongest Person in my life.  Lord, let my life be continuously strengthened by Your AWESOME POWER.
