A couple of Sundays ago, I was reminded of God’s faithfulness through a song that comes up often on my “Feed My Soul” playlist on iTunes. 🎼 The song is “He Will Hold Me Fast” by @gettymusic. The song has been on repeat since that Sunday morning because I really do believe that God is holding me fast as I #chooselife each morning when I wake up these days. 🎼 Yesterday morning I was reading Psalm 90 and 91 again—they have also been on repeat in these past weeks—and I was encouraged by the last verses of Psalm 91. 🎼 It’s so interesting how we can read Scripture over and over, and yet, when God wants us to really “see” and “understand” something, He points it out gently to us and so gives us strength to carry on no matter what, when, why or how... 🎼 The song I mentioned above speaks to God holding me fast. I give Him praise for doing so... 🎼 And then Psalm 91:14-16 speaks to my part of receiving His security to me through His love, His power, and His help. 🎼 “BECAUSE he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him. I will protect him, BECAUSE HE KNOWS MY NAME. When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” 🎼 My ESV Study Bible notes tell me that “The psalm closes by laying out what the ideal of trust looks like and repeating God’s pledge to care for his faithful ones. Such a person will have a LONG LIFE, probably implying eternal life, and will enjoy God’s salvation. 🎼 So God will hold me fast. And He will deliver, protect, answer, be present, rescue, honor and satisfy. 🎼 Surrender and Trust... So easy to say, but so costly to live out faithfully... 🎼 Let’s pray for each other as we “surrender and trust”, “stay in the day” and “just do the next right thing in love” on this cold and frosty Tuesday:) Love to you all today💜 #mrsvansmusings #intentionallife #wonder19 #surrenderandtrust #psalm91
