Hillsong... You Are More



I have been so encouraged by this song. The line that got me was...I will see this season through...I will fix my eyes on You. Wow! Ever feel like pushing pause, rewind or fast forward in the midst of a difficult season? I do! The Lord has reminded me this week that when He said," Let's get in the boat and go to the other side" that we will actually make it to the other side, we will reach the shore, that is a promise. In the middle of the storm it's hard to imagine still water and the feeling of safety. They seem like distant memories and you find yourself pleading for the firmness of the ground that you can physically touch and see. Hmmm...then where's the faith? We know that faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We also know that without faith it is impossible to please Him. I love the father that tells and asks the Lord,"Lord I believe but help me with my unbelief". Whatever your season is right now let Him see you through it, you will get to the other side.
Prayer... Lord help me to have the faith to see this season through and fix my eyes on You...to have faith that pleases You in every way.
Enjoy the song! I can't wait to hear it now in worship at church!
Isaiah 43:1-3
But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; Ethiopia and Seba in your place.
1 Peter 1:6-9
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith-of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
I love God's Word!!!
