There I was again for the umpteenth time. My flesh was screaming for the release of this disease! Yes, for a brief moment my carnality was in a fierce battle with my spirit. I lost my focus. Self-pity was at the front door.
But here’s the thing… God has taught me well over the years and has brought me to the place of learning how to encourage myself in Him; but oh, it has taken me a mighty long time to grasp! Sometimes I need a reminder. He is God. He has a plan. He is sovereign. He sees the end from the beginning. Always, always, God is faithful about giving me reminders. He gets my focus off me and onto Him – where it belongs.
Perhaps your focus is off. In that case, be reminded with this beautiful and anointed song by Rita Springer…
All I need to do is worship
All I need to do is say His name out loud
All I need to do is lift my hands, surrender
And bow down
All I need to do is find Him
All I need to do is let His presence fall
All I need to do is worship
Worship the Lord
(V)
When there’s no way out
Except through a miracle
When there’s no way up a mountain
Except to climb it
When everything you hope for
Seems gone
And every dream you’ve dreamed
Is so far away, that’s when I say..
