Amazing

God never seizes to amaze me. Whether it be a song, a scripture, a word from a friend, the way that God speaks to me in times of trouble amazes me.

Tonight I was having a VERY rough time with Dylan and I snapped. A minute later, I hear this come from the radio:

Father, let the world just fade away
Let me feel your presence in this place
Lord, I've never been so weary
How I need to know you're near me
Father, let the world just fade away

Till I'm on my knees
Till my heart can sing

He is
He was
He always will be

Even when it feels like there is no one holding me
Be still, my soul
He is

Father, let your Holy Spirit sing
Let it calm the storm inside of me
As I stand amazed
Lift my hands and say

He is
He was
He always will be

He lives
He loves
he's always with me

Even when it feels like there is no one holding me
Be still, my soul
Through every fear
And every doubt
And every tear I shed
Down every road
I'm not alone
No matter where I am

He is
He was
And He always will be

He lives
He loves
he's always with me
Even when it feels like there is no one holding me
Be still, my soul
Be still, and know
Be still, my soul
He is


The song is "He is" by Mark Schultz and I have grown rather fond of it.

Then shortly after that they read the word of the day; Proverbs 17:22 "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." I can understand that all too well. I immediately thought of writing it on a note card and having Dylan and I memorize it.

Tonight when I grabbed by Bible to look up the Proverbs verse, there was a blue tab towards the back. I decided to see what was being marked and what I came across made my heart stop. The only thing underlined is Ephesians 3:13 which says "Therefore I ask that you do not lose heart at my tribulations for you, which is your glory." Wow! Absolutely amazing! My heart literally stopped when I read that. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was undeniable that God was speaking directly to me and He was speaking loud and clear.

I have been feeling very overwhelmed lately with life and in particular my son's attitude. Earlier in the evening before I snapped I was literally crying out to God asking Him what am I suppose to do with my son. A person can only take so much attitude and I am trying very hard to get him to make better choices for his own sake.

Lately my life has been very overwhelming and I find myself very easily irritated, angered, frustrated, etc. God's prescription to me is to be cheerful or at the very least surround myself with people who are that it may lift me up and, more importantly I think, not to lose heart. In order to do that I must get my eyes off me and my circumstance and keep them on Him.
