The first time I heard this song, I loved it. It went so well with the movie, on so many levels.
It also got me thinking…am I waiting??? If so, what am I waiting for…the Bible speaks about the benefits of waiting on the Lord…
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.-Isaiah 40:31
I started studying more about waiting, Frazzled Mama style, of course.
I began looking up all the verses that spoke of waiting and wrote down the reference and the gist of each verse. I found some interesting things…waiting many times had to do with waiting for salvation, whether Spiritual or physical. I also learned that we are to wait patiently, yet eagerly for the Lord to move.
So, I realized that I am waiting…I am waiting to be physically healed. No, I don’t think that the Lord will give me a new healthy thyroid, not this side of heaven anyway. But, I know that He can work on my behalf and help me to meet the right doctors and get the right medication and supplements to feel better. In the meantime, I wait…patiently, definitely eagerly. I also wait and am carried through these hard physical times on eagle’s wings. And, while I’m waiting, I am serving…with the strength that He gives.
I was SO convicted this past Sunday as we were singing
God of Glory, God of Might
King of Heaven, Lord of Light
Though my ways are less than wise
I come to praise YouJesus, Master, Savior, Friend
Your mercy seems to have no end
And though all I have to bring is sin
I come to praise YouAnd my righteousness, is as filthy rags
But You exchange them for the good things that You haveChorus:
Lord I want to sing..
I wanna sing you a song, I wanna lift up my voice
As I lift my hands, Lord I make my choice
That from this moment on until the end of my days
I want to offer up my life as a sacrifice of praise,
As a sacrifice of praise
My life, even at it’s best is just filthy rags. I felt the Lord speaking to my heart, asking me if I would give even the crummy little life I have right now, because that’s all He’s asking for, what I have right now. Wow! So, with the strength He gives me each day, I will serve Him and offer my life as a sacrifice of praise.
I am so glad that I have been able to read your posts…. because I see a totally different side of you than I was seeing just sitting in church next to you. My prayer, continue to allow God reveal “the you” that God wants to be seen. You and all of yours are blessings to all of us.
You are a blessing to us as well! I’m glad you are enjoying the posts :)
