“Let me experience your faithful love in the morning, for I trust in you. Reveal to me the way I should go because I appeal to you. Rescue me from my enemies, Lord; I come to you for protection. Teach me to do your will, for you are my God. May your gracious Spirit lead me on level ground."
Psalm 143:8-10 It has been a LONG week. I think the weeks start to feel much longer when I forget how important it is to put a book as a priority in my life. I’m not just talking about any book. No textbooks for my classes, no devotionals (although they make a WORLD of difference), and no dictionaries to really try and understand what the world around me is doing {because that is nearly impossible}. I am talking about THE book. The Bible. The one that can encourage me, show me what love should be like, and that guides me into tomorrow. It is my link to Him. Since I left Passion in January, I have been trying to implement these new to-do lists in my life that glorify Him. Staying true to my devotional, listening to more music that builds me up, and recently, I have been starting my day off with a statement of truth over my life. This week hit me. HARD. Passion really emphasized how you should not do or say what you know in your heart to not be true. Because of my experience leading worship and finding a passion in that, it really meant something special to me. It reminds you that even if you don’t feel it in the moment, you do it because HE deserves it. Listen to these words. Don’t just hear them or read them, but LISTEN. For I trust in you. Reveal to me the way I should go. Teach me to do your will. Lead me on level ground. Shall I say them again? I have been praying this every morning for almost a week and it took four days for me to REALLY understand it. I have to put my trust in Him, because who else can I REALLY trust? HE is the one that guides where I should go, HE will make the way for me, and HE will be my peace when I feel like the world is spinning in circles. Here's the jist of it all. Sometimes you will have bad weeks. Sometimes you will have those days where you want to crawl into bed and never get back out of it. THATS OKAY. Be content with the fact that Christ is there for you, in the good and bad, and the comfort you may feel wrapped in a blanket is the same comfort that he can provide for you as well. Food for thought. Happy Tuesday. xoxo, Michelle
