loud and clear

 ♪All I know is 

I’m not home yet

This is Not Where I Belong♪

Father God,

Thank You for continuing to sing to me. Loudly and clearly right now. To the point that I even heard the words “loud and clear” in my mind. I want to explore this with You, please.

Thank You for the things You’ve been teaching me. About You. Others. Myself.

(6:37 a.m.)

Thank You for this moment of sheer contentment. Satisfaction. Hope. Joy. Bordering on absurdity.

Yep! There’s the word for what I’m feeling right now. “The quality of being wildly unreasonable or illogical.” This seems to be the closest I’ve ever come to fully experiencing the Truth of Philippians 4:6-7!

Going to bed last night I confessed to You the depth of apprehension I’m having in regards to becoming a recovery care-giver for a much loved one. There is such a large number of unknowns. 

The list of maybe this or what if that’s continues to grow. Not acknowledging them to You hasn’t served me well. Telling You straight out that I have some fear regarding all the details and potential outcomes allowed You to come in and settle my heart. My soul. My mind. Even my strength.

Thank You God for reminding me again that I may not know what tomorrow holds, but I do know Who holds it. YOU do! Thank You that You do dear Lord.

(7:05 a.m.)

Searching to learn if You really do sing to us, I find myself absurdly AGOG. Eager and excited to tell Your Truth beyond my wildest imagination!

Sent by many sources to Zephaniah 3:14-17 I get to read of a time when “God will remove all dysfunctions from our personalities and relationships; sorrows and burdens will no longer exist… we can rejoice in this promise” (The Life Recovery Bible footnote for 3:9-20).

While not myself a daughter of Zion, I get to rejoice in the hope that is offered Your people.

“Sing, O daughter of Zion… be glad and rejoice with all your heart… ‘Cheer up, Zion! Don’t be afraid! For the LORD your God is living among you. He is a mighty Savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs’” (vs. 14-17).

Again I say, I don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Ah, but James (4:15) teaches us to say, “If it is the Lord’s will and we live long enough, we hope to do this project or pursue that dream.”

Your Truth reminds me that all I hope or dream is in Your mighty and powerful hands. I do not need to fear or be afraid. I get to choose to “Sing… shout aloud…Be glad and rejoice” will all my heart! Be absurdly AGOG!

Yes Father. Thank You for singing to me. Loud and clear.

Use me exactly as You know is best. Unafraid. Excited and eager to tell. Hope-filled. Forsaking all fear and trusting You.

I love, need, trust and want You singing, speaking, leading and guiding me every step along Your way. Do all You must Dearest Dad. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
