It's easy for me to forget that I don't have a complete perspective on my life and who I am becoming. Things are falling into place, parenting techniques are producing desired results, time management reduces stress, I am not overbooked and running on empty...
It has been important to me lately to intentionally recognize my limitations and stressors and take responsibility for getting the important things done and not wasting too much time on things that just aren't as valuable.
When all that's going well and relationships are smooth sailing, my faith in God tends to smugly settle in to simmer on the back burner. The bold proclamations of trust in his provisions, the whole hearted songs of abandonment to his care become muffled. Gratefulness turns into a rote prayer before mealtimes and satan's attacks seem so far off...
Now I will praise him with all that I am, my soul will shout of his faithfulness and love, all day I will sing of him as the headwaters of my strength. He holds eternity, my future, and my heart and I will wait on Him.
"Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord.
Our God, you reign forever, Our hope, our strong deliverer...
You are the Everlasting God,
The everlasting God
You do not faint you won't grow weary.
You're the defender of the weak,
You comfort those in need,
You lift us up on wings like eagles."
