I kind of had a “God Moment” last night. I was listening to a song I’ve sang a thousand times when He really spoke to me. The song says:
“You are my Strength, You are my God, You are my King.
You make me laugh, You make me dance, You make me sing.
All of my plans, all of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet.
All of my time, all that was mine, I now submit to Your design,
Because You are the One and only One Who dared to give it all away for me.”
It hit me, He IS my strength, without Him I would be so weak and I pray for His power and strength hourly it seems. And He is my God and King. He could snap His finger and take me out of existence. He does make me laugh, because the JOY of the Lord is my Strength. So when I pray for strength, I get Joy also. He does make me dance and sing. I’ve recently joined the choir at church because I’ve been convicted about not using my God given talent of singing for His glory and honor more than I do. And everything I have I give it up. There is so much I want to have and do right now… and probably could have most of it if I stepped out of God’s will for my life, but I refuse to. I know His ways are higher than our ways, so I submit to His design for me. And finally, He is the only One who has given up everything (till death) for me. I’ve had some incredible people in my life who gave next to everything just for me, only for me to not appreciate them as much as I should have. I’ve taken a lot for granted over the past five years. I would do anything to go back and make them right. I know I’ve missed out on some of the best God had to offer me. I’ve missed the mark with people that He placed in my life. But God knew before creation that I was going to mess up His plans for my life. So He made plan B, and I’m waiting for it all to unfold. He gave up everything for me- the least I can do is obey Him so that I can HAVE everything. Sounds kinda selfish huh? But it’s all He asks for….
