the One you want to call

Blessed God,

Thank You!  I have a huge smile. And it keeps getting bigger.

I was sure it was a mistake. This couldn’t possibly be the song You’d have for me. I even tried changing it to ♪This Is the Day♪ Thank You that You really do know best.

Twangy. Campy. Just plain fun. Thank You Lord.

Tow Mater singing ♪Trouble, if you get in trouble, Shoot! It don’t matter if it’s big or small! Flat tires, grease fire, No gas, broke glass, Tow Mater, the one you want to call♪

Lord God, thank You for this little adventure in lyric finding. Yes. Thank You for the way You lead me in finding Your Truth in the most unexpected places.

Searching “Jesus, the One you want to call” I find jesus.net Here I get to read about the courage You provide. Thank You Father. You work in the most unexpected ways.

Like taking me to singing ♪God Will Make a Way Where there seems to be no way He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me He will be my Guide Hold me closely to His side With love and strength for each to new day He will make a way…♪

I can’t make this stuff up! Starting with a playful, secular song and my heart becomes wide open to Your possibilities.

A completely unknown to me person from France [Eric Célérier] sharing his understanding that we are full of courage because You place it in us. He prays Your peace will surround those reading his words. Your perfect love will cast out all fear and fill your children with Your strength and Your courage. In Jesus’ wonderful name.

All this Truth coming to me because I was willing to follow Your lead. Singing ♪Trouble, if you get in trouble…♪

How perfect is this writer’s reference to Psalm 46:1. “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.” Yes! ♪Trouble, if you get in trouble♪

Lord, You DO provide us the peace that passes all understanding (Philippians 4:7). When we prayerfully bring our cares [♪Cares Chorus♪ (1 Peter 5:7)] and concerns to You (v. 6). Fixing our thoughts on what is true and honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and worthy of praise (8).

Trusting, believing, depending on Your presence (Joshua 1:9). Reinforced by the underlying theme song in my mind. ♪Trouble, if you get in trouble… Jesus is the One you want to call♪ Yes! THE One I want to call!

Thank You Father. Keep singing to me I pray. Reminding me to bring all I have to You. Use me as You know is best. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
