An Untitled Psalm
God is good,
God is love,
Patient,
Powerful,
God is here.
When I wake, I want more of You;
Your words are richer than any exquisite delight,
Your loving whispers more precious than any treasure.
When I rest, I still want more of You;
Show me Your face,
Speak to me once more.
I never tire of hearing Your voice,
For it gives me new life.
Teach me, oh God,
How to follow You better;
When I fall,
Pick me up again.
You are faithful like the stars,
Always You are there.
Never will I understand Your infinity.
You Found Me
Chorus of "Your Found Me" by The Fray
Love this song! It talks about being "found" by God. It also talks about the pain of breakups, but that's not why I'm writing this song, and that's why I just am putting the chorus here. How many times have you felt "lost and insecure" or "surrounded"? I know I have, but I also know that God is there in the midst of it! He sometimes seems like a million miles away, but just because I don't see Him doesn't mean He's not here with me!
Below is a short article I just found.
Paul tells us: "God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength but with your testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). Over time that promise has become abbreviated to "God will never give you more than you can handle."
Like many others, I've derived comfort from these words, though I know God does not "give" me loss, pain and grief.Like most bumper-sticker theology, this promise appeals to my concerns about myself and my well-being. If I take Paul's words and God's faithfulness seriously, I must also look beyond my self-centeredness to the pain and severe testing others endure. What of the hungry, the abused, the victims of racism? What of the people of the world who have known no other life than a daily existence of war and terror? Could it be that God could use me to provide a "way out" for the hopeless? Could I help others handle life?
A better bumper sticker might be: "God is faithful."
