When I find a
song that I think fits my relationship with the Lord, it becomes one of our
songs- regardless of whether or not it is a Christian song or even a moral
artist singing. As far as I’m concerned,
music and singing originated in God. So
there is a particular love song of Miley Cyrus’ that hits the chords just
right. If you read all the words you
could see there is no way a human could ever fulfill them- only God could. Here’s the part my heart is crying out today,
from “I Look at You”:
When the world is falling apart
When there is no light to break up the dark
That’s when I (I, I) I look at You
When the waves are flooding the shore
And I can’t find my way home anymore
That’s when I (I, I) I look at You
Since Jan. 23 I have had four people I know
die. Today a 16 year blood relative died,
misdiagnosed from hospital. I had to go
upstairs, hug my 17 and 18 year old, inform them they can’t die on me, and then
go downstairs, furious at the enemy that kills and destroys. I politely asked God to send a scud missile
up the devil’s backside… okay, maybe not completely polite… But I’ve never been such a deeply intense
mixture of sad and angry before that I couldn’t do anything but look to the
Author and Finisher of my faith (Hb. 12:2).
There isn’t any more I can say today other than I continue
to repeat the last line from these Scriptures which brings me comfort:
Whom have I in heaven but You?
And there is none upon earth that I desire besides
You.
My flesh and my heart fail;
But God is the strength of my heart and my portion
forever.
Ps. 73:25, 26
strength- rock, boulder
portion- allotment, inheritance, share, possession,
Thank You Lord for being my Rock in these times and my
Portion- forever.
Oh what a comfort You are!
