Put It On, First Thing

 

Seek the LORD and His strength.

Seek His Presence

                   continually.

                Psalm 105. 4

(How differently we would approach

              this day,

              this difficulty,

              this road,

how differently we would navigate

       what is before us,

how differently we would journey

           through it,

     if we trusted God in this.

              Different experience.

              Different outcome.

Seek Me.

See Me.

Seek My strength

      and put it on,

                 first thing.

Count on My Presence,

     even in this.)

O LORD,

We are so often in the midst

           of a mess.

We realize so often that

   we are way over our heads.

Remind us who You are.

Remind us You are with us.

Remind us

     we are not alone in this.

We need not go it on our own.

     Indeed, we don't have to.

It is Your strength,

         not ours,

    that pulls us through.

You may or may not change

        these circumstances.

But You change our hearts in it.

And bring about Your glory.
