Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.
Psalm 143:8 (NIV)
Lord Jesus, a song rings in my heart this morning, stirring emotions within me from worship yesterday. Its lyrics are ringing deep within my soul: “I’ll cry tell You tell me, let it go let it be. Cause, oh Lord, Your will is what’s best for me.” It comes from a place of deep longing for “other” in my life, not being satisfied with where I am. Though Your Word encourages me to learn to be content (Philippians 4:11), over the last few weeks I have longed for more. Not covetously. I have not desired to begrudge others of their blessings. But I am longing for a more of my own of worldly things. Yet today, this day, You are reminding me that I indeed have all that I need.
So let me first thank You Lord for always sending the right word at the right time in the right manner so that I can hear You. Thank You for speaking to my soul and telling the winds and waves of my desires, “Peace! Be still!” Though I still sense the remnants of them within me, they are not at the forefront of my mind, being replaced by sanctified sense of who I am in You, beloved and cared for, one whose needs are supplied for (Philippians 4:19).
But most of all I thank You this morning for reminding me that by having You in my life I have everything I need (2 Peter 1:3), I lack no good thing (Psalm 34:10), and that You know what is best for me (Jeremiah 29:11). You know what I need before I ask (Matthew 6:8), and know how to ask when I can’t find the right words (Romans 8:26). You have set me up for success and a glorious life in You! I am overwhelmed by Your love this morning and lift my hands and heart to You in worshipful gratitude. Thank You for seeing me, loving me, caring for me, nurturing me, and holding me close. Oh Lord Your will is indeed what’s best for me!
