You know what it’s like when you get a song stuck in your head and you keep singing it over and over again? It’s usually one of the most ridiculously annoying songs that you know, right? Well sometimes as women, we allow life to get ourselves stuck in our heads with a continual replay of a ridiculously annoying habit, pattern, attitude or just stinking-thinking.
It’s time to sing a new song.
There’s a wonderful Lord, God of Creation, King of all Kings, provider of Peace, Truth, Light and Life who decided He loves you so much He died to save you…save you from yourself, save you from jealousy, save you from pride, save you from comparison, save you from anger, save you from depression, save you from insecurity, save you from addiction. Not just at the end of your life, but your life here and now. Just stand up. Tilt your chin, look up. Trust His truth and quit looking horizontally.
It’s time to start speaking LIFE into your own life and others. Quit lamenting. Quit blaming. Quit finger pointing. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus saves. Take your eyes off yourself. Head up, chin up, and BLESS the Lord…
With everything in you, and all that you are, bless His Holy name!
Don’t forget all the good things He does for you.
What are those?
He forgives all your sins.
He heals your diseases,
He redeems you from death,
He crowns you…yes, He crowns you…with love and tender mercies.
He fills your life with good things.
He renews you.
He provides righteousness and justice when you’re treated unfairly.
He is compassionate and merciful.
He’s slow to anger and is filled with unfailing love.
He does not remain angry, nor continually accuses,
He doesn’t punish you for all the wrong things you’ve done.
His unfailing love is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth…when you allow Him His rightful place. Bless Him, praise Him…there’s nothing, no one like Him so yes…He is deserving of that praise.
He makes the heavens His throne and rules there over everything, yet He’s a father to His children, tender and compassionate.
It’s time to change. Sing a new song to the Lord, for He has done marvelous things. There’s a world that needs to hear your NEW song– and may it speak life and bless the Lord!
