How Long?

Hello again!

In the last couple of weeks and posts, a few people have reached out to me and a question that seems to recur is "How long, Lord?". Truth be told, on some fronts I'm asking the same question myself.

Two days ago as I pondered this question for myself God led me to his Word - The Just shall live by faith. Hmm! Yes indeed. Though it tarry, wait for it. For the vision is for an appointed time. God is not slack concerning His promise as some may think. Finally, He gave me this song by Don Moen which really completed the Q&A session for me, lol. If you've read more than two of these posts you know music is probably God's second most effective way of reaching me, after His direct written word. 

So I'm deviating slightly today. I'm writing less and instead putting out the lyrics of the song "I will sing" by Don Moen. I believe it will minister to you as deeply as it did me and assure your heart of God's faithfulness.

"I Will Sing by Don Moen

Lord, You seem so far away

A million miles or more, it feels today

And though I haven't lost my faith

I must confess right now

That it's hard for me to pray

But I don't know what to say

And I don't know where to start

But as You give the grace

With all that's in my heart

I will sing, yes, I will praise, even in my darkest hour

Through the sorrow and the pain

I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You

Because Your word is true, I will sing

Lord it's hard for me to see all the thoughts

And plans You have for me, yes it is

But I will put my trust in You

Lord we made You die to set me free

Oh thank God You did

But I don't know what to say

And I don't know where to start

But as you give the grace

With all that's in my heart

I will sing, I will praise, even in my darkest hour

Through the sorrow and the pain

I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You

Because Your word is true

I will sing, I will praise, even in my darkest hour

Through the sorrow and the pain

I will sing, I will praise, lift my hands to honor You

Because Your word is true, I will sing, I will sing, I will sing

Oh, we sing to You Lord

Oh, we sing to You Lord tonight

Halleluiah, we sing to You Lord

Oh, we lift our voices and sing to You

Worship You Lord, we sing to You Lord

We sing, we sing, We sing, we sing

Oh, we worship you Lord, oh, thank You Lord

I will sing, oh yes I will, I will sing

In conclusion my friends, when we've prayed and are confident that He had heard us because we asked in accordance with His will, we just need to sing and praise Him. Last week we talked about having done all, stand therefore. We need to stand in the place of praise in song and in our attitudes, keeping our faith in the one who can't fail. The One who has promised to meet all our needs (emotional and material) according to His riches.

Have a great weekend, go out to vote if you live in Nigeria and have your PVC. For everyone else, make the weekend count towards something.

Till next week, Blessings on you and yours.

Your friend,
