Today im singing this song over and over and over....
Blessed Be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
It challenges me in my faith to consider wether i will be a christian, or just take advanteg of my faith.
Its so easy to praise and sing songs of worship and be firm in our faith when life is peachy and happy.. and we are strong and full of hope... but teh real test is wether we can continue to praise when things are crashing down.
It again reminds me of Job in the bible... he praised amongst pain i cant imagine.
My bible tells me i shoudl delight in trials ... because they grant me strength and perserverance which i will need to fight teh good fight!
Today is a hard day... ill eb honest, iv had a hard morning and im feeling rather upset, and angry and broken, and it would eb sooo easy to turn my back and go about itmy own way, My feelings are frazzled, my body isnt much better... my body is having a reaction to a tiny tiny peice of pizza i ate.. and is now in cramp and die mode... makes me angry also!!
But... whilst yes i will whinge a bit.. my challenge to myself is to stay firm in my faith... to praise no matter my circumstance!
My Officers have been drillinga phraise into us at church recently. and it has begun to stick with me... My God is more than enough!
So while i am hurt ad sore... my life is his, i will continue tp praise and worship him.. because he si more tan enough for me.
