It’s a quiet Sunday morning. Jim is off working at some car show and it is too hard for me to breathe in this humid weather so I stayed home from church to worship on my own. I am still fighting kidney stones lodged in my left kidney but this week I have had pain in my right kidney as well. But for now my body is quiet and peaceful as I set my mind upon the Lord and all he gives me. Sometimes its easy to focus on what is wrong but when that happens I often forget about all the blessings the Lord has given me and is still giving to me. His love never stops, even when I can’t understand why dark days occur the Lord will use all of it in a way that will glorify Him.
Romans 8:28
We know that all things work together for good
for all who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
On Dark Days
Looking out my window the wonders do I see
Your fingerprints on everything from the ground up to the trees
I hear You calling me, like the whistling of the birds
That cause me to look into the heavens, ignoring all that has occurred
You have my captured my attention all my woes are far behind
As I enjoy all You’ve created at my front door to find
Even as I am speaking, I see storm clouds pushing in, chasing out the sun
But I hear You reminding me not to come undone
For You O’Lord have taken charge of all that is to come and all that will ever be
I don’t have to worry cause Your love will carry me
Through all the things I cannot face and all the pain I feel
I feel Your hand upon my life and I know that you are real
And You are out there working good on my behalf of what the world intends for evil
This promise to me lifts my heart and makes me feel so gleeful
That such a wonderous Lord like You would do this just for me
renews my hope and gives me strength to endure what will be
