Here comes a rise and im tempted to get anxious
I am not alone
Reminded how my Father has never left us
He provides the finances
Sweeps off my way
He created me in such love
Proving it everyday
Talk is whispers displayed in loud action
Yet when i peek in, i get only a fraction
Its all so much to take in
The honor of experiencing such moments despite my sin
Revealing that youre not a God of only discipline
Not a Father or mother whos looking to manipulate and punish the child within.
You’ve taken me under your wings
With the morning lights, over me, you sing
Im safe here with you,
Raised and kept, loved and saved for you
You care for me, take care of me
A real life giving tree
Grafting me upon your strong branch
Patiently washing off my dirty hands
You speak when we meet
Finding me when im off in the deep
I need not be anxious, as i breath in this consistent hope
Boasting in my lack of because for you it’s only an opening stage which is dope
Watch Him show out, Showing off again
My God, Jesus is so much more than a friend
The bridegroom and the church is we
The presence of your name alone causes all my problems to flee
So once more i focus on the promises and reread
the stories that have been told
Holding me over minute by minute, your saving grace unfolds
Come, i whisper out, lighten my load
You quiet me as i wait within your hold.
~With the Holidays looming, the raise in my mortgage was not a welcomed piece of mail. I put the envelope down and took a deep breath. I KNOW my God provides, and I know He has our back. This has been demonstrated in our life many times over. Sometimes I just need a reminder. I repeated this truth to my heart that had began to palpitate with all the “What ifs”
I acknowledged the feelings of concern, but once again redirected myself to my belief that my circumstance is but only a stage, providing an opportunity for my God to show out. Are you watching? Or maybe you are the one God is working through this holiday season. Is it possible to do and be both?
