That song "Blessed Be the Name" was cranked up in my car this morning on my regular commute. I have been putting my iPod on shuffle a lot lately and I love it because each day the right songs get played without me having to skip a thousand times or finally get fed up and go the artist I want to listen to. Anyways, this particular song just fits so perfectly into my today. I am blessed when the sun is shining and I am blessed when the road is marked with suffering. God gets all credit no matter what.
Another amazing thought that may or may not go along with this song is what I was reading in John this morning. I have found it completely liberating to read my Bible each morning as if I were a new Christian who knows nothing. I am actually learning so much more this way. Anyways, a passage that was sticking out to me this morning was about how Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead and people were still having a hard time believing in Him. The verse that stuck out to me was, "Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him" John 12:37. Wow. How many times have I seen God work in the life of another or even me and yet I still struggle with doubt of Him sometimes. I am guilty of this verse. So the connection between that verse and this song to me is showing me that I just need to always praise Him for whatever it is I am going through and to remember and BELIEVE that HE is the one working a good work in me.
Day 2...Blessed Be the Name of the Lord!
