In all my pain, my sorrow, and my sadness Lord, my heart remains steadfast. I sing with joy because you are the only thing I can hold onto. Everything else that I tried to worship could never last and it never satisfied. I have sacrificed time with you and your will in pursuit of idols that had my utmost devotion. But you bring me back Lord, as you have always done, and I cannot stop praising you. You are my shepherd and you call to me as one of your sheep. I hear your soft voice and it breaks the chains that bind me. You are my heart, my devotion, and my love. I will remain steadfast Lord because your love for me is higher than the heavens and your faithfulness to me reaches to the skies. I will praise you to the nations and exalt your name among its people. Oh Lord, let your name be glorified through me so that others may see and believe.
So Lord, I pray that you will provide help in my time of persecution. The times when I cannot stand without your aid. That you will deliver me as you have promised and done before. That when I am drowning in a deep, dark sea, I can reach for your caring hand. Please do not reject me Lord in my time of need. The human idols I have put my trust in before will not deliver me as they failed to do in the past. Human effort for salvation is worthless. Only with you Lord will I gain victory over my enemies. It is you that will trample on Satan's plans and deliver me. It is your hand that will direct my path. Thank you Lord for loving me. I will praise you and sing of your victories forevermore.
This blog is an outpouring of what God has put on my heart to write and is part of my spiritual journey as a Christian while trying to follow in the footsteps of my savior. These posts are fictional story telling, relevant topics, and other writings that I hope will provide you insight of what it means to live out a life of faith in God. It is also a remembrance for me on God's provision and love and I hope an encouragement to you on your own spiritual journey with God.
