A wise cartoon once said “Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg, race cars, lasers, aero planes it’s a duck blur.” I don’t live in Duckburg myself but life lately has been nuts. I’ve experienced a lot of changes this week and the last and they haven’t really been that great but that’s not my point. As I drove home from work Wednesday night my MP3 player started playing God help me by Plumb and I want you to consider these lyrics because we don’t always understand what’s going on but we can still have hope and trust God.
“There is a wrestling in my heart and mind
A disturbance and a tension I cannot seem to drive
And if I’m honest, there’s quite a bit of fear
To sit here in this silence and really hear you
What will you ask of me
Will I listen to your voice when you speak
Help me to move
Help me to see
Help me to do whatever you would ask of me
Help me to go
God help me to stay
I’m feeling so alone here
And I know that you’re faithful but I can barely breathe
God help me
Sometimes things, they are black and white
Sometimes they are not and it leaves us torn inside
And in the middle we are left to wonder
Who we are and what you want and where we’re going
I don’t always understand
But I believe.
I don’t know the future
It’s one day at a time
But I know I’ll be okay with your hand holding mine
So take all my resistance
Oh God I need your grace
One step and then the other show me the way
Show me the way”
There’s a line at the end of First Blood part two where Colonel Trautman asks Rambo “How will you live John?” And his response was. “Day by day.”
Like Tiffany Arbuckle Lee said in her song things will not always make sense. But God is faithful and can be trusted. And we need to turn to him.
Psalm 71:1-6
“In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be ashamed. In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; Incline your ear and save me. Be to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come; you have given a commandment to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man, for you are my hope; O Lord God, you are my confidence from my youth. By you I have been sustained from my birth; you are He who took me from my mother’s womb; my praise is continually of You.”
God knows who you are and what you struggle with and longs for you to turn to Him and cast your cares on Him.
To those who read the blog or watch the videos I want you to know I appreciate you all. I pray that God will draw you closer to himself and that you will find hope in Him. He is always faithful. I play a game where I lead an alliance and it has caused me to be more appreciative of people on that alliance. Some of you have been part of this blog a short and a long time but you invested time in it and maybe a kind word or prayer and I want to say Thank you to all of you.
Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you ,and keep you; The Lord make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up his countenance on you and give you peace.”
