So as I sit here waiting on class to start the Lord had a little lesson He wanted me to learn. I was here organizing all of the documents on my computer trying to decide which of the many tasks I need to accomplish next. Lately I have personally been feeling very overwhelmed,and from what I can gather from my other friends I am not alone. This is a very tough time in the semester, and in particular a time where I tend to put my faith to the side to try to accomplish my worldly goals. Well the Lord has hit me over the head with a few things when I was not even seeking them out. That is one really awesome thing about our Lord. He still works in our lives even when we may not be focused on Him. Just another way he proves that He is so much bigger than any other thing we could ever imagine. He knows everything that we need.
I stumbled upon a song that I had copied the lyrics down from and saved as a word document. I had totally forgotten about this song, but it totally speaks to the feelings I have been feeling lately and to the current situation that I find myself in. I know many other seniors can relate to the feeling of almost breaking, but we need to remember that He has said He will not let that happen. The song is "He Said" by Group 1 Crew and here are the lyrics.....
"So your life feels like it don't make sense
And you think to yourself, "I'm a good person,
So why do these things keep happening? "
Why you gotta deal with them
You may be knocked down now, but don't forget
What He said, He said
"I won't give you more
No more than you can take
And I might let you bend
But I won't let you break
And know, I'll never, ever let you go"
Don't you forget what He said
Don't you forget what He said, He said
Who you are ain't what you're going through
So don't let it get the best of you
'Cause God knows everything you need
So you ain't gotta worry
You may be knocked down now, but just believe what He said
He said "I won't give you more
No more than you can take
And I might let you bend
But I won't let you break
And know I'll never ever let you go"
Don't you forget what He said
Don't fear when you go through the fire
Hang On when it's down to the wire
Stand tall and remember what He said
"I won't give you more
No more than you can take
And I might let you bend
But I won't let you break"
"I won't give you more
No more than you can take
And I might let you bend
But I won't let you break
And know I'll never ever let you go"
Don't you forget what he said
He said, what he said
Don't you forget what he said
What he said."
This song rings so true...we may feel knocked down now, but the Lord will not give us more than we can take. Definitely something I needed to hear today....thank you Lord for still pursuing me when I may be failing to pursue you the way I should!!!!
1 Peter 5:7
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
We have a best friend in the Lord that knows what is best for us and wants to be there for us, but we just simply have to open up and let him.
So blessed for such a simple reminder that my God always has my back and He has y'alls too!
God Bless and Go Frogs!
