abandon

posted on my other blog tuesday june 17:

You ask me for my all
You want to be the One to catch me when I fall
So take it all right now
O God I will abandon myself as I worship
You upon the throne

Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord. these words were nearly audible as I just felt so stupid and kept asking why…

another week of being stretched, of relying and asking you to, waiting for you to provide everything. I do not have the skill set to manage my life, only you do. I’m going to take care of you. You whispered.

There was a critical moment again where I put you on trial. And questioned your goodness. Our gut instinct is to always blame God. Then I started remembering you will take care of me. You are in control. That you are always for me. That you are good and will give me everything that I need.

Deuteronomy 8: 2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. 3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD. 4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

John 6: 28 Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" 29Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

Abandon, A beautiful song by Jason Morant

O Lord my God the majesty of Your name

Fills the earth forever I will sing Your praise
O Lord my God keep me safe in You
You have my heart and the rest belongs to You

You ask me for my all
You want to be the One to catch me when I fall
So take it all right now

O God I will abandon myself as I worship
You upon the throne
I will become a living sacrifice
O Lord my God hide me in the shadow of Your wings
And sing to me

O Lord my love when I feel so far from You
You come to me and You heal my heart
You heal my heart

True joy and true trust are only forged in the fires of trials and against the winds of obedience. Where we meet our true and living God.
