I already know...

First of all, I know I have been terrible about keeping up with this lately. School has been crazy, so while I have been keeping up with my Bible reading, the blog has suffered. But I am going to try and do better about keeping up with it too. I still have one story from Kenya I would like to share, but I will probably do that later.

This week I have been thinking a lot about Easter and what it means in my faith and my life. First of all, I am so blessed that a perfect and wrathful God would meet me in my depravity to provide a way into a restored relationship with Him through belief in his Son, Jesus Christ. I am undeserving of such grace and mercy, but blessed and thankful to have received it. Today at work and on my drive to Montevallo I spent time communing with God while listening to music. Music and songs have always spoken to me and today there were many lyrics that let me to the cross. One song in particular was written and performed by a young woman in our church. It speaks of how God already knows the end of our story. I am so happy that He does. So that even in the days when I wonder why the world is so messed up, I am reminded that God is sovereign and in control of all situations. Here are the lyrics of the song "I already know":

I’m closer than you can see

And my love is greater than you know.

Feel the weight of my mercy.

My arms are open.

And I already know who’s gonna save you.

I already wrote the end of the story.

You were made for me, and I’ll never leave you.

And in the end its all for My glory.

Your life is my melody,

Part of a song that I am singing.

In the dark its hard to see,

but there will be redemption in the morning.

And I already know who’s gonna save you.

I already wrote the end of the story.

You were made for me, and I’ll never leave you.

And in the end its all for My glory.

Cling to me and wait,

As I cover you with My garmets.

Can’t you see you are my clay,

And I’m the potter and you are carrying my fingerprints.

And I already know who’s gonna save you.

I already wrote the end of the story.

You were made for me, and I’ll never leave you.

And in the end its all for My glory.

And I already know who’s gonna save you.

I already wrote the end of the story.

You were made for me, and I’ll never leave you.

And in the end you will be happy,

And in the end, you will be with me,

And in the end, its all for My glory.

Pretty great huh? What a comforting reminder that He is mighty to save and He has already written our stories. What a blessing it is to be made for Him and to know that He will never leave us. I hope that I will live my life in a way that really is all for His glory.
