A consistent theme of the Race has involved the phrase “Está bien”, “Se bonne”, “No problem”, “No che problema”, basically any way to say that something is no big deal, it’s fine, no problem.
There’s a song by Kristene Dimarco called “It is Well” and it’s one of the most moving, challenging and encouraging songs, and it’s definitely in my top 10.
So, on the front steps of this 20×20 house on stilts, after a worship session that drowned out the neighboring Buddhist temple music, God asked me, if I was applying the “it is well” attitude to my spiritual life as well as I was exercising the “Está bien” attitude in Race life….
I sing this song with full intent to believe “it is well.” But then I find myself frustrated when things don’t turn out like I expected. When things are harder than I thought, I get discouraged, and am quick to let the devil win over my thoughts. I question why I’m here and have incredible fear of the future.
So, what would it be like to apply these Race phrases to my spiritual life- to have an “está bien” attitude, a “no problem, God” response, an “it is well” spirit?
God’s got me. He knows my future, and I want to go wherever He takes me. I know it’ll be ok. At least my head does, and I need my heart to feel it too. Or maybe my heart feels it but my head questions….. hmm… anyway, it’s my desire to have this complete surrender, dependence and confidence in Him, for He is faithful.
God grant me your perspective every morning. I’m in your boat (literally) God, each and every day. It. Is. Well.
