On you I wait all the day



Show me Your ways, O Lord;
Teach me Your paths.
Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day.
Psalm 25:4-5


Hmmmm....so I'm going to let you have one guess as to who is having the hardest time living out this verse, ok mostly the last line.


Sometimes in my life I feel as though God is going to bless me with something so great and less then a moment later He sets it aside and stands in the middle of me and that blessing and tells me I have to wait on Him before that blessing will be mine.


Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the Lord is holding back any blessings He may have for me, what I'm simply saying is He's touching this small, yet totally huge part of me that so often does not wait on His perfect timing or His perfect will in my life.


Sometimes waiting seems like the hardest thing to do, as if its an action that is completely strenuous. I mean why should seeking the Lord and asking for His guidance be so hard. Why does my flesh feel the need to make me want to do things my way? I already know the outcome of that whole scenario, pain, heartache, bitterness, anger...I could go on and on. Why on earth would I want that for myself again? As if I ever had fun in any of that.


Lord help me to wait on you all the day!

Amazed




So, tonight I was listening to this song that we sang in church on Sunday morning, most of you, if not all of you, know it very well... Amazed.

Everytime I sing this song my heart melts into a huge pile of mush, maybe because this is truly how I feel about the Lord...ok not maybe, this IS how I feel about the Lord. I am so amazed that my God loves me, a giant sinner, as much as He does.

When I sing this song, or read the lyrics, I get a very clear picture of my God dancing and singing because of ME! It turly floors me.


Ok, so I just thought I would share...I'm not in a totally deep mood tonight, but I am so AMAZED by my God!

I have included the lyrics to the song for those of you who may be unfamilar with the song.





You dance over me

While I am unaware

You sing all around

But I never hear the sound


Lord I’m amazed by You

Lord I’m amazed by You

Lord I’m amazed by You

How You love me


How wide, O how wide

How deep, O how deep

How great, O how great

Is Your love for me
