Song of the Moment: Yet I will Praise You Lord

Yet I will Praise You Lord - Vineyard

I will praise You Lord my God
Even in my brokenness
I will praise You Lord
I will praise You Lord my God
Even in my desperation
I will praise You Lord

And I can't understand
All that You allow
I just can't see the reason
But my life is in Your hands
And though I cannot see You
I choose to trust You

Even when my heart is torn I will praise (trust) You Lord
Even when I feel deserted I will praise (trust) You Lord
Even in my darkest valley I will praise (trust) You Lord
And when my world is shattered and it seems all hope is gone
Yet I will praise You Lord

I will trust You Lord my God
Even in my loneliness
I will trust You Lord
I will trust You Lord my God
Even when I cannot hear You
I will trust You Lord

And I will not forget
That You hung on a cross
Lord You bled and died for me
And if I have to suffer
I know that You've been there
And I know that You're here now

Joy in the Darkest of Valleys

Have you ever had moments in your life when your heart seemingly cannot contain everything, you feel so desperate about expressing them? If having that profound joy in my spirit was a place somewhere, I can say I am there. I just can't simply put into words and sing any song to acknowledge God's goodness in me. The life I have chosen; giving up few things I had was difficult and some people might have thought this is somehow senseless. But I know God of whom I have put all my trust will never forget about me. He'll make ways through the darkest valleys.

I stepped out of my comfort zone. It was never easy yet I have never been this hopeful as before. The Bible says in Hebrews 11:1-2, "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. This is what the ancients are commended for." And I believe God will commend those who believe and those who are not blinded by difficulties and adversities.

We could be considered the wisest of men setting things at the right place as we reach our dreams but apart from the Lord, they are worthless and put our toils to nothing. Moreover, we may have had the worst decisions in our lives but it doesn't change God's goodness. He will always remain faithful and His love is still unfailing. Through this, I am always reminded to be humble and praise God in any circumstance.

My heart is grateful, I am satisfied and my faith is unshakable.

"In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps." - Proverbs 16:9
