On Repeat.

Lately, I’m finding in times when I’m alone, times when I am just sitting, thinking, staring off while driving from place to place, times when I am laying in my bed just trying to sleep, and even sometimes when I’m in mid conversation, my brain has this track that has been continuously playing on repeat.

“My Healer.

My Glory.

Lifter of my head.

Counselor.

My Redeemer.

My Deliverer.

My Rock.

My Refuge.
Complete Understanding.

My Salvation.

All Peace.”

Triggered all from scripture and music I’m sure, but for some reason my brain just won’t quit. And I’m grateful for that. Not only is this track made up of just words and phrases, it is full of promises. Promises that help further my dependency and need for a God full of such great characteristics. A God filled with so much to give if only we would just receive his gifts willingly. A God who is in total control and if only we would just quit our worrying and trust him. Trust in him.

And as my mind meditates on all that my heart is feeding it, I can start to feel my body beginning to lean more. Beginning to trust more. In the months that I have been here, even up to this very day, trying times have I faced, some challenging feats, times in which the only way to even mildly see over the mountain top is by placing hope and trust in Our Creator. Also in the many months that I have been here I have experienced joyful moments, times where the work of my sweet Jesus is just so apparent. Times that I feel could only truly be appreciated if our trust and hope is placed in the hands Our Creator.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord

Whose trust is in the Lord.

He is like a tree planted by the water,

That sends out its roots by the stream,

And does not fear when the heat comes,

For its leaves remain green,

And is not anxious in the year of the drought,

For it does not cease to bear fruit.

Jeremiah 17:7-8
