watch what happens

Holy, Holy God,

You are teaching me! First notes of the song and I trusted You to know what You were doing. How about that? Not even a wonder. Just trust. Thank You God.

Mm, trust. Just trust. I want to learn more of that!

(7:38 a.m.)

Still singing. Crooning, really. And swaying. Complete with a bit of a swoon. Lord God, thank You.

I am currently filled with peace. Peace that only comes from You. Peace that is practiced to the degree that it occasionally comes naturally. Quite out of character for me. This is all You at work!

Another wave of the musical refrain begins again ♪and watch what happens♪ Yes Lord. You calling me to forsake all and trust You is truly blowing my mind right now.

There are unknowns taking place all around us. Catastrophic illnesses and diseases. Frustrating circumstances. Gusting winds and their devastating after effects. All the parts of real life that are truly heartbreaking. Over which we have little to no control.

And here You are continuing to sing Your encouragement to me. ♪Cold, no I can’t believe your heart is cold Maybe slow to warm from a long, lonely night But just let SomeOne start believing in you, let Him hold out His hand Let Him touch you and watch what happens♪

This was my reality through the long early morning hours. Doubts. Questions. Wonders. Concerns. Prayers. All met with the repeated musical phrase. ♪Watch What Happens♪

(8:53 a.m.)

Again and again I have witnessed You work mercifully and graciously in my life. Truly exhibiting Yourself as ♪One SomeOne who can look in [my] eyes, and see into [my] heart Let Him find [me] and watch what happens♪

As the song continues deep within my being, I’m asking for Bible verses to back up the Truth I am finding here.

♪Cold, no I won’t believe your heart is cold Maybe just afraid to be broken again♪ How often do I shirk back out of fear?

♪But just let SomeOne with a deep love to give Give that deep love to you, And what magic you’ll see♪ I do see Your magic [mercy and grace in Christ!] surround me. Thank You God.

Knowing that I want to continue experiencing Your peace, truly trusting You as I ♪watch what happens♪ I turn to Hebrews 12:14-15. Asking Your Holy Spirit to empower me to “Work at living in peace with everyone, and work at living a holy life, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord. Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.”

Your Word. Your Truth. Your promises. That’s where I long to stand and build my life.

The Life Recovery Bible comment for verse 15 speaks of dealing with difficult circumstances and growing angry and bitter in the process. Thank You God that Your antidote for rooting out bitterness is forgiveness.

Continue Your work in me I pray. Changing me from who and what I was into all You have for me to become. Truly Yours. Inside and out. Do all You must that I accept and use well all the love You have for me.

Thank You Father. I love You. Amen.
