Happy new month to you. It feels nice to write. Am so glad its a new day and a new month. June went so fast yet it was such a mixed bag for me. I have been reading a book by Philip Yancey titled " What Good is God?
Nice question to ask yourself sometimes ,especially in low moments.That past month I felt like a recovering alcoholic who had sunk back into drinking. In his book,Yancey wrote a chapter titled" How I wish I was an alcoholic". He had noted that these guys live by grace and every new day without touching alcohol was reason enough to celebrate. They celebrate God's mercies which are indeed new every morning and knew its such a thin line between forging forward or tripping.
That month, I felt like I had lost my battle, I felt like I had sank back into grief but I kept saying grief &healing is not a destination. Each day God gave me reason to wake up. My theme song for the month was "10,000 reasons by Matt Redman". Indeed I shall praise the Lord ,because each day comes with its own blessings.
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
Let me be singing when the evening comes
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger
Your name is great, and Your heart is kind
For all Your goodness I will keep on singing
Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find
[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
And on that day when my strength is failing
The end draws near and my time has come
Still my soul will sing Your praise unending
Ten thousand years and then forevermore
[Chorus x2]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
Lord, I'll worship Your holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name
Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name
I'll worship Your holy name
