So this song came on in the middle of my work day. It struck me a little differently than usual. My family and I used to sing this song when we led praise and worship a few years back, and I always linked this song to physical healing. Kinda makes sense... After-all, the song is called "Healer", but this particular day the Holy Spirit took me in a totally different direction...
"You Hold my every moment, You calm my raging sea, you walk with me through fire..." All of a sudden, I wasn't thinking about healing at all, but I was thinking about my life... How it hasn't gone the way I planned... How I felt like I walked through hot coals when I messed up a couple years ago... But I knew the whole time He was with me throughout my struggles. I always had peace.
"I trust in YOU" This phrase has been an off and on struggle my entire life, but especially these past few years... Can I sing these words with honesty? Do I really trust God?
"I believe You're my portion, I believe You're more than enough for me, Jesus you're all I need..." Some days these statements are easier than others... I want Jesus to be all that I need... On Sunday, during the worship, I envisioned a little girl running with all her might and jumping into her Heavenly Father's lap as He sat on His throne. She was completely enveloped in His arms and disappeared in His loving embrace.
The little girl... was ME!
My biggest struggle as a single woman? The desire for physical affection... I've been asking God recently how in the world He could satisfy my desires for a hug or a peck on the cheek... And when I felt like I couldn't go another day "alone", He hugged me! I snuggled up in His lap! How Awesome is that?!
"Nothing is impossible for You... Nothing is impossible..." Nothing is impossible with God.
"For nothing will be impossible with God." Luke 1:37 (NASB)
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 (NASB)
"You hold my world in Your hands..." God has my life under control... I don't have to worry about it! In fact, He tells me not to worry about it! (Matthew 6:25-34) "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." (Verse 34)
Don't worry! Trust God with your life now... That means past, present and future... He will do Awesome things for you, if you'll let Him. And remember: God may seem slow, but He is never late.
