Weeping may last for the night (or a day or 2), but a shout of joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5b (comment mine)
The past few days have brought on a very real spiritual attack on my heart, mind and body. I felt sick, lost and, literally at times, found it difficult to breathe. I kept referring to the decisions that are to come as uncertainties, but when I am walking with the Lord, there are no uncertainties, only hope. Despite the full-fledged attack by the enemy trying to shake me at this time, my heart still sang a song (2 actually)…
“10,000 Reasons“
Bless the Lord, O my soul O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning
It’s time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
You’re rich in love, and You’re slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore
Jesus, I’ll worship Your holy name
Lord, I’ll worship Your holy name
Sing like never before O my soul
I’ll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I’ll worship Your holy name
I’ll worship Your holy name
“Always“
My foes are many, they rise against me
But I will hold my ground
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way
Troubles surround me, chaos abounding
My soul will rest in You
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
From You Lord, from You Lord
