Passion

A lthough things are not perfect

B ecause of trial or pain

C ontinue in thanksgiving

D o not begin to blame

E  vrn when the times are hard

F  ierce winds are bound to blow

G od is forever able

H old on to what you know

I   magine life without His love

J   oy would cease to be

K eep thanking Him for all the things

L  ove imparts to thee

M ove out of “Camp Complaining”

N o weapon that is known

O n earth can yield the power

P  raise can do alone

Q uit looking at the future

R edeem the time at hand

S  tart every day with worship

T o “thank” is a command

U ntil we see Him coming

V ictorious in the sky

W e’ll run the race with gratitude

X alting God most high

Y es, there’ll be good times and yes some will be bad, but…..

Z ion waits in glory… where none are ever sad!

The commentary I’m reading in Psalms brought a point home again as I read it last night– one that we need to continue to hit as we try to be on God’s side. The Author was saying that in Psalm 25 David really wanted God’s leading. It was a time in his life that Absolom had usurped authority and David knew that his sin with Bathsheba was taking its toll on the rest of the kingdom. David begged for God’s leading.The commentary author went on to say that it wasn’t the way we usually ask for God’s will– which wants His will to bend to ours. We need to take the next step– not to be content with knowing and it being empty, but walk into doing and having the heart attitude that will take us to the next step. Through prayer and a change of life we will know God’s leading– if that’s what we truly want.David knew that he was lost without God’s leading. He saw what happened when God’s plan wasn’t followed. He was desperate to follow God’s will.We’re only as filled with the Spirit as we truly want to be.
