Lately, God has been speaking to me through a specific artist: Shane and Shane. Tonight I was in a funk...really thinking about a situation I am going through and getting rather frustrated, thinking about how deeply wounded I am by my friend and now by my friends and frankly, just getting discouraged. I was reminded in my devotional yesterday about not having self-pity and getting out of the "pit". Although it was encouraging and reminded me not to dwell so much on my present troubles, I think I am hitting the reality of the situation and it is truly crushing me.
God has been so good to keep me busy and help me to have good things to distract me, but at the end of the day, it is still hard. I find myself questioning what I did wrong in the situation, maybe I am just a horrible friend, etc. There is so much of me that wants to be fleshly and speak the truth so that everyone understands, but I know that is not right. As I was contemplating this tonight, Shane and Shane came on again and it was a song that really spoke to me in my situation. It is called For the good. This is for HIS good...regardless of how I feel...it is all for Him.
When darkness is surrounding me
by Your Spirit, Lord help me sing
that You are working all things out
Lord, I really need to hear you speak
Remind me in the waiting
that You are working all things out
For the good of those
who are called by You
for the good of those
who are in Love with You
That's why we sing
Holy God of light
I lay down my life
Holy is the Lord
Even in the storm be glorified
We like to take the blessing from You
Shall we not take the trouble too
You are working all things out
We like to take prosperity
Shall we not take the suffering
You are working all things out
Holy are you Lord
even in the storm
be glorified
Worthy of affection
Is there something you need to remember is "For His Good" today?
