It was a busy morning at Switch making soft chicken tacos for the kids and staff for our Friday program for the kids. I got a bit tired so decided to take a nap before the meeting tonight, but the moment my head hit the pillow a song ran through my mind and I thought of someone dear who is struggling. It’s an old song:
Oh, soul are you weary and troubled, no light in the darkness you see, there’s a light for a look at the Savior and life more abundant and free. Turn your eyes upon JESUS, look full in HIS wonderful face (think about things true about HIM) and the things of the earth will grow strangely dim in the light of HIS glory and grace.
Thinking of my loved one I prayed.
You too may feel like those Malachi was talking to, they said, “What a weariness it is” Malachi 1:13
Not long ago at the Camp Elim (old timers) retreat we sang an old, old song and here is a line from it:
“My heart is sometimes heavy, but HE comes in sweet relief, HE folds me to HIS bosom when I droop with blighted grief.”
Have been drooping recently? JESUS has something better for you. JESUS said, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid, trust in GOD and trust also in ME” (John 14:1).
It is the right and privilege of every believer in JESUS to take his heavy heart and every doubt and fear to JESUS who loves him and died to save him from his sins. HE says, “Come unto me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). Just take every thought to JESUS (2 Corinthians 10:5). JESUS will literally hold you in HIS arms.
One day when it seemed my world was coming to an end a song I had just learned came to mind (some words changed) and as I began to sing, “Oh Son of GOD enfold me with the SPIRIT of YOUR love come and fill my heart and satisfy my soul, take these fears that hold me and YOUR SPIRIT like a dove, rise up and make me fully whole. JESUS, OH JESUS hold YOUR little lamb, JESUS oh JESUS hold YOU little lamb.”
I’m not kidding, HE held me, and HE will hold you too.
Looking unto JESUS (Hebrews 12:2)
