Tonight I was challenged. I was driving home from a great night in Des Moines with a good friend. I was listing to the radio. My car was stopped on the interstate because of a accident. Also as this time was the most amazing sunset. The sun was bursting from the clouds. The raises were shooting straight into the air. I got this smug my God made that face on and marveled in the creativity of the God I serve. I took out my camera and took a picture of the marvel.
Just a few miles later I was crying tears as I had a conversation with the God that made that sunset. The more I talked the more I cried. I should have been listening. After my talk with God I turned the radio back on. The man on the other end of the radio said we don’t need to worry. Why do we worry? The God of the universe has everything under control and yet we worry. So in a period of 5 minutes I went from praising the God of the universe in His sunset to slapping him in the face with my worry. I can trust God to make the sun rise and set each day. I cannot trust him enough with the small worries and intricacies of the day.
Tonight was a yet another moment of God teaching me to trust.
Later on my drive home I heard a song. The song is entitled Whatever your doing by Sanctus Real. The lyrics I know came from the mouth of God into my not trusting heart.
It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender
(Chorus)
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly
Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will
Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything I surrender...
To...
Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly
