It's funny how you try to run away from yourself, and say you're not really one way, but eventually the truth comes out. Like I tried to make this blog about my general thoughts and ideas that I have throughout the day, but the fact is, that I keep coming back to one thing: Jesus. He is all of my being, and it just comes out. That being said, I wanted to write about a song that I've had in my head. I've been kinda down this week with not having a job and all, and just really being frustrated about trying to find my way. And I woke up today with a heaviness on me, that I was not feeling at all. But I'm thankful that God is faithful, and will never leave me.
I have this song in my head, and I'd like to believe that God planted in my spirit for today, when he knew that I would need it. The lyrics: Single-minded. Wholehearted. One thing I ask. That I, may gaze upon your beauty oh Lord. That I may seek your holy face. That I may know you in an intimate way, and follow after you all of my days.
Those are the lyrics. I think that's Psalm 27. But that's what has been playing in my head today. I think God gave that to me to help me keep my focus. To know that in all I do, in all that I am, my ultimate purpose is to follow Him, and love Him. So that's what I take with me today. It's not about how big my house is compared to someone else's. It's not about being jealous of others. It's not about feeling discouraged because of my job situation. It's about believing in His Word, and drawing comfort from that. And believing that when He says "I'll never leave you nor forsake you" (Hebrews 13:5) He really means it. No holds barred. Because of that, because of my single-mindedness that God has given me, I have reason to smile.
Psalm 27; Hebrews 13:5
