Our God is far greater, than words can make known
Exalted and holy, He reigns on His throne
In infinite splendour, He rules over all
Yet He feeds the poor sparrows and He knows when they fall
His power is great and will ever endure
His wisdom is peaceable, gentle, and pure
But greater than all these glories I see
Is the glorious promise that He cares for me
The lyrics of this song helped put me to sleep last night, together with the words of Psalm 121 read out to me in a calm, steady and reassuring voice. I could swear it was God speaking.
It is only when we have nothing, when we are broken down to nothingness; when we have fallen due to pride; when we have tried to take control but failed... That is when we can do nothing but acknowledge our Sovereign Lord and Father. To come into His presence with thanksgiving in our heart, to know that only He can provide peace that surpasses all understanding, and love unfailing.
I have no anger in me. The Devil rages in me but every day is a constant (spiritual) battle to resist and to instead fill my heart & head with wholesome thoughts, with heavenly precious thoughts. All I ask for is relief. I just want You to take over from here - to show me where to go, what to do, how to love.
Faith is about positioning yourself in such a way that God can work in your life. He is enlightening me.
