Feels Like Home

He has set my feet on a rock

So she listened to what they had to say. Everyone was telling her what she needed to hear. She listened to the words and she had no problem believing them for everyone...everyone but herself. Everyone said what was the good and proper thing to say but sometimes they just felt like words. She knew it was impossible to make herself feel what she did not.
All the words spoken in her life wouldn't change it. Proof was what she needed but she knew the only way to receive the proof was to seek a fullness not in words but in the One who knew her better then anyone else. The more she sought solace in the words of men the more she saw the fruitlessness of pursuing those relationships, until she was embraced by the one who knew her rising up and her laying down, those relationships would only bring her frustration. She had allowed herself to drift away from His rest and now it was time to stop running, stop doing, stop worrying, breathe and fall into His arms.
Sometimes it felt like for every step she took forward she took two steps back. She kept looking to the future for the answers but each morning had brought more anxiety and she had begun to hold onto things which would never bring her joy. It was time to give up control. His shoulders were much broader, His hands stronger, He was in all ways wise and in Him she trusted. She knew she had to stop making excuses and give to Him her all. This was the only way.

Psalm 40


For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.

1 I waited patiently for the LORD ;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear
and put their trust in the LORD .

4 Blessed is the man
who makes the LORD his trust,
who does not look to the proud,
to those who turn aside to false gods. [1]
5 Many, O LORD my God,
are the wonders you have done.
The things you planned for us
no one can recount to you;
were I to speak and tell of them,
they would be too many to declare.

6 Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,



The Everlasting

"Ruler of the universe
Higher than the kings of the earth
Long before the world began
Everything was in Your hands
Your glory will forever stand

For You are the Lord
And You are God above
Your love goes on and on

You are the everlasting Father
(You are the everlasting)
You are the everlasting light, oh yeah
Every knee shall bow (every knee shall bow)
You are the everlasting life

Through the raging of the seas
The hills proclaim Your majesty
All these things created for
The glorifying of the Lord
We praise Your name forevermore

For You are the Lord
And You are God above
Your love goes on and on

You are the everlasting Father
(You are the everlasting)
You are the everlasting light, oh yeah
Every knee shall bow (every knee shall bow)
Lord of mercy (we adore You now)
You are the everlasting life

My heart cries out
My spirit shouts
I'’ll praise Your name forevermore"-Third Day- Offerings II
