Be My Everything

I found out two days ago my best friend has cancer. Not something I was really expecting at 3:45 on a Tuesday. But really, when do you expect to get that kind of news?

I want to be the kind of person who can praise God in good or bad, sickness or health. Really, I do. But I haven't been in a life-threatening situation or had an illness that would cause me to question God's sovereignty in a life-altering way. It's so easy on my end of things to say, "just trust God." Is it really that simple? Can you just trust God when fear sets in and peace is nowhere to be found or grasped? Is His peace something tangible for us to cling to?

I'm gonna have to stick with "YES." If I can't believe what the Bible says, what can I believe?

2 Cor 12:9 And He said to me, ""My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Lamentations 3:21-23 "This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness."

This morning I was listening to a worship song we sing a lot at the Village. It really hit home this morning:

GOD IN MY LIVING

THERE IN MY BREATHING

GOD IN MY WAKING

GOD IN MY SLEEPING

GOD IN MY RESTING

THERE IN MY WORKING

GOD IN MY THINKING

GOD IN MY SPEAKING

BE MY EVERYTHING

GOD IN MY HOPING

THERE IN MY DREAMING

GOD IN MY WATCHING

GOD IN MY WAITING
GOD IN MY LAUGHING

THERE IN MY WEEPING

GOD IN MY HURTING

GOD IN MY HEALING

CHRIST IN ME

THE HOPE OF GLORY

YOU ARE EVERYTHING

BE MY EVERYTHING
