The first song the Lord led me to this morning while I sat down to spend time with Him was strangely dim by Francesca
battistelli who’s lyrics are this:
I’ve got all these plans piled up sky high
A thousand dreams on hold
And I don’t know why,
I got a front row seat
To the longest wait
And I just can’t see
Past the things I pray
But when I fix my eyes on all that You are
Then every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
All my worries fade
And fall to the ground
Cause when I seek Your face
And don’t look around
Any place I’m in
Grows strangely dim
Sometimes where I stand
On this narrow road
Is in a raging storm
Or a valley low
But When I fix my eyes on all that You are
Then every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
All my worries fade
And fall to the ground
Cause when I seek Your face
And don’t look around
Any place I’m in
Grows strangely dim.
I don’t know, I don’t know
What tomorrow may hold
But I know, but I know
That You’re holding it all
So no matter what may come
I’m gonna fix my eyes on all that You are
‘Til every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
Let all my worries fade
And fall to the ground
I’m gonna seek Your face
And not look around
Til the place I’m in
Grows strangely
These words are powerful and so full of promise! the temptation to look around and take my eyes off Jesus is a great one… But why?? Nothing in this world is worth
diverting my attention to and nothing can satisfy the deep longing in my heart but HIM!!!! Hebrews 12 reminds us that we must "throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out
for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith." Only when we fix our eyes on Jesus will we see that He has everything under control and that truly IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL! We can have peace and joy, even when our world is upside down
and everything seems to be falling apart! God knows the plans He has for our lives and He promises in Jeremiah 29:11-14a that when we seek Him with our whole heart we WILL find Him!! He wants to be found by us! He loves you more in a moment than ANYONE could
love you in a lifetime and He is working everything together for your good!! Turn to Him an fix your eyes on Him! He’s waiting with open arms and ALL you need!.jpg)
