One morning I was praying, when I was pregnant with Noah, and God gave me this song and I wrote it down and haven't really looked at it again in a while. Then last week in prayer I felt God prompting me to look back through my journal and I came across these words again and immediately I felt God give me a melody for part of it! Once again, I got busy and haven't thought about it since last week. But, this morning while I was praying the song kept repeating itself in my head and I just wanted to share it and I hope it encourages someone else the way it has encouraged me...
Against all hope, in hope I believe
In the substance of things hoped for but can not be seen
clinging to the promises of God
not wavering in doubt
I am strengthened in my faith and give glory to my God
I am fully persuaded that my God has the power to do what He says He can do
I am fully persuaded that His promises are true
I believe that you are faithful
I believe that you are true
I believe that you are Holy
and I know that I love you
You have given me a miracle, you have heard my deepest cry
You have caught my every tear and given me my hearts desire
Through hard times. trials and pain
By faith i've not lost but gained
Your love and mercy overwhelm me
they flow so endlessly
I believe that you are faithful
I believe that you are true
I believe that you are Holy
and I know that I love you
My life and my time is in His hands
I submit to His will and I yield to His plan
You are not a man that you should lie
So I stand before you now and lift my voice in faith and cry
I believe that you are faithful
I believe that you are true
I believe that you are Holy
and I know that I love you
I know that in Gods perfect timing He will give me the melody for the rest of the song but right now I have what I need to get me through the trials facing me right now!
Last week Pastor Allen talked about miracles and finding hope in a hopeless, dead end situation and that is what I am doing! I am taking down my dead end sign and replacing it with hope! For I know that just like it says in Mark 4:22, God will reveal all things and everything that is hidden will eventually be brought to light! So I can't give up, I must have hope that relationships can be restored and pain can be forgiven and the past can be healed!
Another song really spoke to me this morning...an oldy but a goody...
You alone are my strength my shield
to you alone may my spirit yield
you alone are my hearts desire
and I long to worship you
God is a God of miracles and they are everywhere if you just take the time to take your eyes off the problems and focus on the many things we take for granted...it is a miracle that I am still married to the same man after 8 years, it is a miracle that I have a beautiful, healthy son, it is a miracle that we always have just enough to make ends meet each month, it is a miracle that the seasons change each year and the sun comes up each morning and I can breathe each breath I take! Thank you Jesus for coming and humbling yourself to live among us and for your grace and mercy that are new to me each morning! You are truly a God of miracles!
