But here’s the thing… God has taught me well over the years and has brought me to the place of learning how to encourage myself in Him; but oh, it has taken me a mighty long time to grasp!  Sometimes I need a reminder.  He is God.  He has a plan.  He is sovereign.  He sees the end from the beginning.  Always, always, God is faithful about giving me reminders.  He gets my focus off me and onto Him – where it belongs.

Perhaps your focus is off.  In that case, be reminded with this beautiful and anointed song by Rita Springer…
 
 

All I need to do is worship
All I need to do is say His name out loud
All I need to do is lift my hands, surrender
And bow down
All I need to do is find Him
All I need to do is let His presence fall
All I need to do is worship
Worship the Lord

(V)

When there’s no way out
Except through a miracle
When there’s no way up a mountain
Except to climb it
When everything you hope for
Seems gone
And every dream you’ve dreamed
Is so far away, that’s when I say..
 
 
Al for His Glory
