Song Of Encouragement

Over the last few weeks, I've heard I'll Do The Miracle by Ivan Parker on Enlighten XM radio, and it has really ministered to me. The words posted in the header are from the chorus of the song. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find a way to link it to the blog, but you can Google the title and find excerpts from the song. (FYI: the YouTube version isn't very good.)

Needless to say, I've had a few rough weeks . . . (see post, hopefully, coming soon) . . . So often we try to do everything in our power to make things work and get through on our own. Why torture ourselves?!? Give it to God and feel the burden of life lift off your chest. God only asks that we do our best and when that isn't enough to get the job done . . . you do what's possible, let Him do the miracle and don't forget to give Him the praise when the task is accomplished.

To quote one of my dad's favorite verses, Micah 6:8 ~ "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" May I encourage you (& myself) to have a close relationship with the Lord? I know in tough times, when I think I can't go on . . . if I am close to the Lord and I ask Him, He helps me through. Whether it is physical strength, emotional strength or the wisdom to set priorities we need to get things done. Don't fight and struggle to be in control. Life is so much more enjoyable when we give our daily lives to the Lord.

Give it a try!
