Take Back

 

Just wanted to share a song that I was introduced to by a good friend.
It is called "Take Back" by United Pursuit Band & Will Reagen

"With the wind at our backs
and in the strength of the Lord
We will rise on the wings of the dawn
We're gonna take back all the enemy has stolen.

It's in the blood of the One who's worthy.
I know God has not forgotten 
All that's lost and broken.
So come and see the turning of the tides
Come and see your sons and daughters rise
For how could he who did not spare His own son
Not freely give us victory against the darkest of nights?

We're gonna plunder the pits of hell.
You're worthy. You're worthy. You're worthy. You're worthy." 

I find myself meditating on the words of this song, and just shutting down everything that is going on around me, and entering His presence, feeling the weight of His glory on me.  My spirit waits before God, and shrinks to nothing compared to His greatness.  I want to restore His glory here on earth as it rightly should be.  There are so many things that were created for God's glory that have been diminished and perverted to worship other things.  If everything on earth were bowing down to Him in submission, it wouldn't be enough praise to lift up His name to where it should be established.  God is above all things, and yet, still asks us to call him Daddy. 

I want to take back all the enemy has stolen.  I don't know what that looks like yet, but I'm asking God to help me press in to His heart so I can find out.

Seeking God with my WHOLE heart

So I just came across my blog after years of neglecting to keep myself accountable to writing.  My idea to start a blog was initially to record the things I'm learning in Scripture and keep myself accountable to quiet times and seeking after God in my daily tasks.  Of course, I would love to enter in the presence of God and be worshiping the Holy of Holies on my face, but when my day just won't allow for that, I can pause and thank God for the way He holds everything together around me.  So today, I can start again refreshed and restored. 

Things I'm focusing on today:
1.  Serving my husband and family by getting the laundry caught up, baking some yummy treats to freeze for those cravings around 10pm, and getting my household organized so Joel doesn't have to do much work when he gets home.
2.  Researching the conclave and interceding on behalf of the cardinals that have to vote in a new pope.  I am praying that he is a godly man who will be after God's own heart, like David.  I pray that he will be a man who works to restore the Catholic church back to a stature of holiness and compassion.
3.  Getting some time in the Word to learn more about my God who is outside of time, who is the God of all creation and yet still knows the number of hairs on my head.  None other can be so close...
4.  And of course, I am still determined to keep my flesh in line with my desire to be in a healthy weight range and take care of the body my God entrusted to me.

Until the next time...Be blessed. Rejoice in all things.
