Worship
As I was sitting in worship this week, I heard one of my favorite songs, Before The Throne Of God Above, in a brand new way. I first heard this song performed by Sonicflood, but it was originally written as a hymn way back in 1863.
God really spoke to me this week with this song. I have been struggling with deep despair and depression and searching for my identity in Christ. This song is a plea for God to change our hearts and minds and a call for us to turn away from Satan, who is constantly trying to drag us down. But there is hope, a Savior who has the power to save us and give us lives of freedom, peace, shows us forgiveness and grace.
I was faced with the lie that just because things aren’t going well, that does not mean that God has forgotten me. Part of the first verse really caught my attention: My name is graven on His hands, my name is written on His heart. This comes from Isaiah 49:16, “See, I have written your name on my hand. Ever before me is a picture of Jerusalem’s walls in ruins.” Even though we might feel abandoned by God because of our troubles, God will never abandon us. He is working out His plan for us and will bring deliverance. Praise Jesus!
