I Will All the time Cling to You
I wrote a tune, “I Will All the time Cling to You,” impressed by a trial I endured.
After I say trial, I imply it. Profound discouragement was what I used to be experiencing.
I felt like I used to be in a pit, so I did what I normally do: I threw a match.
My match concerned asking God a barrage of questions: “Why do I’ve to undergo this?” “Why is that this taking place proper now?” “Why is there seemingly no finish to this?” After I felt ignored, I topped it off with, “God, are You even listening to me?”
A Second of Optimism
Nonetheless, after my match was over, I had a second of optimism. “Wait,” I believed, “once we are in a pit, that’s when God delivers us, proper?” Psalm 40:2 says, “He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry lavatory, and set my toes upon a rock, making my steps safe.”
Immediately, I felt certain my time within the pit was nearing an finish as a result of, undoubtedly, I had hit all-time low on this explicit pit, and God would rescue me.
And that’s after I found that pit had a pit beneath it.
So, in fact, I threw one other match.
After that pit-beneath-the-pit-fit, I sensed God asking me if I’d proceed throwing ineffective suits or if I’d belief Him after I was discouraged, disheartened, and even downright depressed.
To say I didn’t contemplate persevering with with the suits can be a lie.
Drawing a Line
As an alternative, I made a decision to attract a line and proclaim that come what might, it gained’t shake my religion. It doesn’t matter what the enemy tries to throw in my path, I’ll cling to the LORD and belief His plan. I stated it out loud, sang it out loud, and vowed that will be my strategy after I was in my subsequent pit.
The refrain of “I Will All the time Cling to You” declares: “I’ll at all times sing to You. I’ll at all times cling to You. It doesn’t matter what the highway forward would possibly convey, I wish to belief You thru all the things. Irrespective of how the enemy tries to harm me, the reality is You’ve already gained the victory. Come what might – it gained’t shake my religion. I’ll at all times cling to You.”
I’ve but to succeed with that daring declare of at all times clinging and trusting, however I’ll preserve striving with God’s assist. He has faithfully confirmed He is aware of what He’s doing and is worthy of belief.
Because the tune says, God already gained the victory over something that we’re battling: discouragement, despair, nervousness, habit. You title it, He has defeated it. So, as we briefly dwell in a pit, or in a pit beneath a pit, ready for His victory to be mirrored in our current circumstances, we’re confronted with the choice of whether or not or to not cling to and belief within the guarantees of the LORD.
What Now?
When circumstances look determined, cling desperately. When a pit will get deeper, belief deeper. Inform the enemy that he has no energy over your scenario and that you already know God has all the things underneath management. Persevere in prayer. Let’s cling to what we all know, not what we really feel. Let’s belief in His guarantees, not our feelings. Clinging and trusting places us in a chief place to listen to God’s voice as He leads us out of the pit.
After we do not forget that our Heavenly Father’s targets are to convey us nearer to Him and make us extra like Him, we will be assured that He makes use of all circumstances in our lives to perform these objectives. There’s a divine goal in these pits.
