Stop Second-Guessing And Live In His Blessing

Monday Message

​What a mess
But Oh, how blessed I am!
What a wreck
But look at this ship I am in
With the waves that crash around me
The sails whipping in the winds that surround me
But here I am
At the bow I stand
Letting it all sink in
seeing all that I have been given
The gifts
And the trenches
The holes and the pits
 The dirt from the ditches
 But here I am
 Cleansed
 By His blood that was shed
 His life
 and His spirit left
 To spend eternity with us
 All because we were simply created by His mighty hand
His craftsmanship
and what are we?
But the stewards of His ship
To make fishers of men
Reeling in His heart
Left with a job
Until we depart
To be more than just the dust from the stars
But to be His jars
That He fills up daily
Like the potter that needs his clay
So we also need to pray
To draw in from the well
So our minds do not swell
Turning into waves that control our boats
And we are left with nothing but a float
But if we can just grasp
The little bit of time that we have
To see that all of our needs
Are met by simply sowing His seeds
For what we sow
We will also reap
and time
It bewilders me
Because to Him
A day
May be a week
And a week
May be a century
But all we can see
Is what is right in front
And in between
So we dream
We dream of a future
Where He is more than our tutor
Where we can dream a dream
That becomes reality
Where our ship is more than just our means
To get by
Our transport from tide to tide
But our boat will lead to our abode
Our final home
If we can just let Him steer
And learn to let go
With our good Lord guiding us
as the sun
And the stone
That moves mountains
And surrounds us
That is above and all around us
For wherever we go
Whether it be down to the depths of Sheol
Or within our inner souls
He is there
And our future He has foretold
So why not see that where we are now
is a moment to be proud?
To be living in this blessing
And stop the second guessing
Because
All you are called to be
Is within reach
His child
That He so longs to teach
So let it be known
That you are ready to grow
and He
He is your home
 
“Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Psalms 23:6
