The Chapter we discussed last night was A Fearless Beauty, talking about not having fear about what is going on in our lives basically. This verse was brought out in there. 1John 4:16 "And so we know and rely on the love God has for us." What a truth we need to stand on! The other thing that stuck out was talking about keeping us sweet. She says this "Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him,"God promises in Jeremiah 17:7-8, "He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit." I want to be like that! I want to be so rooted and secure in the Lord that even in times of burning stress and lonely drought, I have no worries. I want my response in difficulties to be full of faith, not fear. Instead of griping and groaning. I want to produce peace and joy.
That has become my prayer. It goes along with this song. "From the Inside Out, by Hillsong"
A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
my heart and my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing you praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Chorus
Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out
