The Lord's Love, Word and songs..

.. to me for the last few days.

Yesterday..
A righteous man may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all. Ps34:19

It's true He has.  Last Saturday when speaking to another lyrics came to mind .. "So why do I worry? Why do I freak out?"  

Your Love is Strong/Jon Foreman

Heavenly Father, you always amaze me
Let your kingdom come in my world and in my life
Give me the food I need to live through today
And forgive me as I forgive the people that wrong me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one

I look out the window the birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune or out of place
I walk to the meadow and stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl on her wedding day

So why should I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong (repeat)

The kingdom of the heavens is now advancing
Invade my heart, invade this broken town
The kingdom of the Heavens is buried treasure
Would you sell yourself to buy the one you've found?

Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me

Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong (repeat)

Our God in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us weary sinners
Keep us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

Last Saturday was perfect example as was Sunday in an entirely different and unexpected way.  Yesterday the following superseded as a reminder and of what He had done before I finally let on to another the words that had been meant to harm me from those days and another this week.  Was interesting to see expressions and hear response.

So do not be afraid.  I am with you.
Do not be terrified.  I am your God.
I will make you strong.  I will help you.
My powerful right hand will take good care of you.
I always do what is right.  Isa41:10 [NIrV]

The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Mighty One, a Savior!  He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest {in silence and satisfaction} and in His love He will be silent and make no mention {of past sins or recalling them}l He will exult over you with singing.  Zeph3:17

I was reminded too of the latter portion of Zeph as I stood outside last night and Friday night by the pond listening to the songs of the birds, over me, and of..

Sing Over Me/Beebo Norman

Find me, where You can find me

So tired of hiding behind these songs

And take me where You will take me

Back to a place I've known all along

The voice that calms the waves, sing out

And call my name

And sing over me, sing over me

Sing above the noise that I've been making

And sing over me, sing over me

All I ever needed was to hear Your melody

All I ever needed was to hear Your melody

Wake me, come on and wake me

So tired of living like I'm asleep

And hold me the way You hold me

How You unfold all this unbelief

The voice that calms the waves, sing out

And call my name

And sing over me, sing over me

Sing away the silence that is breaking

And sing over me, sing over me

All I ever needed was to hear Your melody

And all I ever needed was to hear Your melody

Sing out, sing out, sing out my love

Sing out, sing out, sing out my love

And sing out, sing out, sing out my love

And sing over me, sing over me

Sing above the noise that I've been making

And sing over me, sing over me

All I ever needed was to hear Your melody

And sing over me, sing over me

Sing away the silence that is breaking

And sing over me, sing over me

All I ever needed was to hear Your melody

All I ever needed was to hear Your melody

All I ever wanted was to hear Your melody

Sing, sing out my love

I remember..
Keep on asking and it will be given to you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking {reverently} and {the door} will be opened to you. Matt7:7
And..
So I say to you.  Ask and keep on asking and it shall be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asked and keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened.  What father among you, if his son asks for a loaf of brad, will give him a stone; or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent?  Or if he asks for an egg will give him a scorpion?  If you the, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts {gifts that are to their advantage} to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give The Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!  Luke9:11-13
I ask and will continue to..

Yet somehow, for some reason "This Little Bluebird" played in my head .. dumb coincidence?

Today I circumvent..
I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have {perfect} peace and confidence.  In the world you will have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer {take courage; be confident; certain; undaunted}! For I have overcome the world.  {I have deprived it of its power to harm you and have conquered it for you.} 
John16:33

Writing these helps me remember more, more good things, and stay more focused on Him.  I am remembering this year is supposed to be about hope ..  
Is it time for church yet?!  He reminds me: second service today ;)
