INSPIRASUNS

This morning a song has been playing in my head. You know how that goes, when that process starts, you are singing it to yourself for hours, or days. I’m not sure why this particular song and it’s only one verse that keeps repeating itself.

When I went outside to spend some morning prayer time with Father, that verse kept playing in my head, and I got that “tingle” I get, kind of a little chill when I talk to Him. Hmm, me thinks the Lord placed this song in my head this morning. I’m not sure why yet. Well, maybe I do know why. There are lots of things going on these days, there is a big project on the horizon at work. I’m also in the process of filling a position that has left us short-handed for a while, (you all know how that process can go). We are completing some final hurricane restoration, (just in time for hurricane season).  Just lots happening and there are days I’m not sure which direction to turn 🙂 .

I’m guessing that Jesus, as He always does, was tapping me on the shoulder to say, “Helllooooo, I’m here”. It’s just so darned easy to get wrapped up in things when you are in the midst of it. You find yourself just trying to do, trying to move forward through the task at hand. Before you know it you find yourself tired both physically and mentally. When all along, the Lord is there just waiting for me to call on Him. It would be much simpler if I would just begin the task at hand with a simple prayer to ask for His guidance. Silly little concept right?!

I know I sound like a broken record sometimes, saying the same thing, put the Lord first in all that we do. Maybe I keep saying it to remind myself to “Walk the talk”.  So yes, in addition to my morning quiet time with Father, I think I need to add a little time as I sit down at my desk with that first cup of coffee to ask Him to help guide me through this work day and show me where to begin.

Oh, and that song that’s been playing in my head, I shared it here a few months ago. It’s called Just Be Held, by the group Casting Crowns. The verse that is on replay in my head is this:

So when you’re on your knees and answers seem so far away,
you’re not alone stop holding on and just be held.
Your world’s not falling apart, it’s falling into place.
I’m on the throne, stop holding on and just be held.

So friends, if your days are a little crazy, and you’re not sure which end is up. Stop for a moment and allow yourself to just be held by Him. Then, let things fall into place.

Have a good day friends. Continued prayers this morning for the return of sweet Emily Rea.
