Our navigator and copilot
"Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me. I trust in you, O LORD; I say You are my God My times are in your hands.~Psalm 31:3, 14,15"
Yesterday I wrote about our Eternal Healer, and today well I'm going to write about our God being our Navigator and Co Pilot---Yes our God is that awesome to have many job descriptions:)
Often we may feel lost in the world and sometimes surrounded by unbelievers who may not understand it when we say "let me pray about that" but that does not mean we need to stop relying and turning to HIM for direction. We need to constantly remember and consult HIM to ensure we stay on our spiritual path. I think we get into trouble when we think we can do things on our own without the guidance and comfort God provides as he guides and leads us.
I know in my relationships when I start becoming the center of it instead of having God be the center of our home conflict always arises. But when we turn our focus, and trust God we will be blessed. Now I'm not saying that we will have no conflicts, trials or disappointments but they will be easier to manage because they are in God's hands and we just need to look for him to lead us.
So today whatever you faced with ask yourself "Am I trying to do it all on my own or am I looking to God as my copilot"?
One of my favorite songs right now is exactly about how having God at the center of your relatonships. Here are the lyrics.
Lead Me by Sanctus Real
I look around and see my wonderful life
Almost perfect from the outside
In picture frames I see my beautiful wife
Always smiling
But on the inside, I can hear her saying...
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”
I see their faces, look in their innocent eyes
They're just children from the outside
I'm working hard, I tell myself they'll be fine
They're in independent
But on the inside, I can hear them saying...
“Lead me with strong hands
Stand up when I can't
Don't leave me hungry for love
Chasing dreams, but what about us?
Show me you're willing to fight
That I'm still the love of your life
I know we call this our home
But I still feel alone”
So Father, give me the strength
To be everything I'm called to be
Oh, Father, show me the way
To lead them
Won't You lead me?
To lead them with strong hands
To stand up when they can't
Don't want to leave them hungry for love,
Chasing things that I could give up
I'll show them I'm willing to fight
And give them the best of my life
So we can call this our home
Lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
Father, lead me, 'cause I can't do this alone
IN God's Love,
Sarah
