thoughts

why does it take us not getting our way to look to You God
why is it that we can't just be submitted to who You are
We claim after we lose our way that we are just going to trust in You about the situation,
but for how long does it last

with this election
I tremble at the thought that many people will claim to pray
and claim to trust You thinking that You are pleased with a few weeks of our lives
but such is not the case

You call us to either be hot or cold, but the lukewarm you will spew out of your mouth
You are sickened by the lukewarm, yet we live in the world and when the world
doesn't do what we want it to we claim to run to You

I'm reminded by the message given by Brian Pierce
and I'm convicted Lord
Forgive me for I know that I am guilty of this

In many situations I know I am guilty of putting You,
the only One who is worthy of all praise,
on the back burner until things don't go my way
then I suddenly lift my eyes unto the hills where my help comes from

why do I ever even act like I need no help when I know that I do

as I've said before

God continue to shine light onto who I am
get rid of all of my darkness
help me be brave enough to live in Your light
apart from You I can't
