The Bible promises that those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength.
Today, i was heart-weary, hope-less, and without reason to go on.
So, i stretched myself out on my face, put on some worship music, and spent some time just beign honest with God about my feelings and my situation, spent some time just being quiet before Him.
I think out of that, I was reminded that God must be my focus, that His goodness and faithfulness must be my guide and my hope.
As i told God last night, when i look back over my entire 37 years of life, I have to admit that i can find no time in my life when my God has ever let me down.
FFH – God of Promise
Out of bondage, out of slavery
You have lead us to this place
Out of affliction from the hands of our oppressors
And we will not lose heart ‘cause this is a second start
You are God of the promise
And You will go before us
And will follow
You are God of the desert
With mercy beyond measure
And now we know
You have not forgotten us
God of the promise
You are God of Elijah
You are consuming fire
You are God of Moses
You are strong through the wilderness
You are God of Elijah
You are consuming fire
You are God of Moses
You are strong through the wilderness
You’ve been there for them
You’ll be there for me too
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
Thus gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost it’s grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
‘Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
FFH – I’m Free
I’m being set free
I’m taking off the slave clothes that covered me
I’m being set free
‘Cause I was made for freedom not for slavery
Out of darkness You have called me
Out of bondage You have brought me
I’m free
The chains are falling You are calling me
I’m free
I’ve decided You are life to me
And I will walk where I can’t see
Knowing You are with me
I’m free
Life. It's all about Jesus. Without Him, there is no life. He is life.
