Does God minister to you through music? He does me! I love music - especially music with uplifting lyrics. God so often helps me to verbalize things that I just can't seem to get out on my own or He helps to remind me of His truth that I easily forget in my focus on my circumstances or feelings. So...a song :-) http://youtu.be/OA3MSqufJP4 This link should take you to the song by Kerrie Roberts, "No Matter What." I heard this song probably two years or more ago and God has used it over and over in my life. He reminded me of it yesterday afternoon. Here are the lyrics...
I'm runnin' back to Your promises one more time
Lord, that's all I can hold onto
I've got to say this has taken me by surprise
But nothing surprises You
Before a heartache can ever touch my life
It has to go through Your hands
And even though I keep askin' why
I keep askin' why
No matter what, I'm gonna love You
No matter what, I'm gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not, I'll trust You
No matter what
No matter what
When I'm stuck in this nothingness by myself
I'm just sitting in silence
There's no way I can make it without Your help
I won't even try it
I know You have Your reasons for everything
So I will keep believin'
Whatever I might be feelin', that You are my hope
And You'll be my strength
No matter what, I'm gonna love You
No matter what, I'm gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not, I'll trust You
No matter what
No matter what
Anything I don't have, You can give it to me
But it's okay if You don't
I'm not here for those things, the touch of Your love
Is enough on its own
But no matter what, I still love you
And I'm gonna need you
No matter what, I'm gonna love You
No matter what, I'm gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not, I'll trust You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not, I'll trust You
No matter what
No matter what
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
Father God, thank You for the gift of music and words. Thank You for the truths shared in this particular song. May You use it for Your glory and to minister to someone today. Please help me to run to Your promises and hold tight. I truly am thankful for Your sovereignty and that nothing catches You by surprise. I pray for the strength to keep believing. To trust You regardless of my feelings or what the circumstances appear to be. I do declare and know that You are my hope and You are my strength. Thank You for loving me and in return allowing me to love You. May 'the touch of Your love' be enough on it's own. Forgive me for trying to add to or subtract from what You have for me. I choose this day to trust You even through the pain. May I look to You and You alone. I do need You...moment by moment. Thank You for allowing my questions, my honest responses and yet never leaving me there. Thank You, God, for always, always, always being there...no matter what...
