Mind Over Feelings…This Is Discipline

Monday Message

How often do we base what we do on what we feel?
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United.

When we push through and do what we don’t feel like doing, or don’t do what we feel like we want to do…this is maturity and maturity breeds discipline. Abigail’s words are a reflection of this.
 
When you don't feel like doing it
That's when you need it the most
 
When the words don't come
and your mind feels numb
 
There's no sustenance there
Like a babe who sucks his thumb
 
Nothing but air
Driving you insane
Like you must have lost your brain
 
Is it out there?
Anywhere?
Somewhere?
 
Somebody come down
And shake me awake
So I can feel even an inkling of productivity today…
 
But I guess that's where we have it wrong
The wrong note
The right song
 
To know and behold
That sometimes
We just need to let go
 
Give ourselves to His ways
Knowing that it will all be okay
 
There is no such thing
As a waste of a day
 
So as long as you are His child
The sun will beam it's rays
And the moon will stay in tune
With the song you play on loop
 
So maybe you missed a note
You're feeling a little baroque
Barely hanging on walking that tightrope
 
and He is right there
Saying it is okay, darling
You can just let go
 
Free fall into my arms
I will catch you
And all your qualms
 
As you stretch out your right palm
Saying this is it
This is all
 
All I have and nothing more
I implore
I rest assure
 
Knowing that You are my King
You, my Good Lord
Will take hold of me
And never let go of me
Even on days when darkness is bestowed upon me
 
You open the clouds
And let Your light fall down
Like Manna touching the ground
 
A sweetness like honey
As I open my mouth
 
And the words
They finally pour out
 
As I praise You forevermore
My King
My Shephard
My merciful Lord
 
Let my words once washed up
Arrive at your shore
Like a mighty lion
They will hear my roar
Singing Your praises
As you love me through all of my phases.
 
And He will provide, always. Giving you exactly what you need, nothing more and nothing less. Like manna in the wilderness: “When they measured it with an omer, he who gathered much had nothing over, and he who gathered little had no lack; each gathered according to his need.” - Exodus 16:18
