“Still” – Monday Musical Musings

I have been listening to Pandora at work and have created a channel titled Hillsong. You can imagine the wonderful music they play all day long just for me. Of course it isn’t all Hillsong music; there are other music artists that they have lumped into this category. But I find myself in worship on more than one occasion throughout my day because of this music station.

 

0005030206R-849x565Last week I heard this song. I’m not sure how this song has gone under the radar of my blog. It’s one of my favorite worship songs and today it seems more than appropriate to share.

 

Life seems to bring uncertainty into our lives. This uncertainty picks at us and if we allow it, consumes us.

 

However, God has asked us to share our uncertainty with Him. He tells us over and over throughout Scripture to give Him all that causes anxiety within us. Take a look at these passages.

 

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” (Psalm 55:22 – NIV)

 

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6 – NIV)

 

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:7 – NIV)

 

And the message of “Still” is when we face the storms of this life, we are to offer it to God and wait. Wait for Him to work out the situation and work within us to be closer to Him.

 

God’s protection and security will help in this world of uncertainty. We simply need to be willing to give all of our anxiety to Him.

 

So today, here are the lyrics to “Still.” I pray that they will touch you as they do me.

 

“Still”

 

Hide me now
Under your wings
Cover me
Within your mighty hands

 

When the ocean rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

 

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know His power
In quietness and trust

 

When the ocean rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are King over the flood
I will be still and know you are God[i]

I pray that the uncertainty of your day will be less disconcerting as you make the decision to share your life with God. The storms and floods may not go away, but when we acknowledge that God is in control and trust Him with our lives, we are then able to find rest in the midst of turmoil.

 

“And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7 – NIV)

 

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

 

Donna
