As long as you're glorified
By: Sovereign grace music
Shall I take from Your hand Your blessings
Yet not welcome any pain
Shall I thank You for days of sunshine
Yet grumble in days of rain
Shall I love You in times of plenty
Then leave You in days of drought
Shall I trust when I reap a harvest
But when winter winds blow, then doubt
Oh let Your will be done in me
In Your love I will abide
Oh I long for nothing else as long
As You are glorified
Are You good only when I prosper
And true only when I’m filled
Are You King only when I’m carefree
And God only when I’m well
You are good when I’m poor and needy
You are true when I’m parched and dry
You still reign in the deepest valley
You’re still God in the darkest night.
I was listening to this song and I was so overcome by the lyrics. Is God only good when things are going great and I am happy all the time? That's the first problem though. Happiness is temporary and it's because of an action. We have the JOY OF THE LORD! Our joy is with him!
I guess God has really been working on my heart to remember that I answer to Him, Everything is secure in HIM. Nothing else can compare to God and who HE is.
We walk around sharing the gospel and talking about how great God is when things are great but what are we doing when things aren't so great? (I am preaching to myself as much as anyone else!)
God is still God even when things are dark and things seem like they can't get better. They can, they will because we have our God. He loves His children so, so much. Such a great and loving God. EVERYTHING WE DO SHOULD GIVE HIM GLORY.
I have been challenged to find the "Go God" moments in everyday. God created everything? So how many Go God moments do You think there are? My guess is that everything is a Go God moment in some way. Everything is because of God, and to God ALONE be the gory.
"For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things, To him be the gory forever! Amen."
Romans 11:36
until next time,
