JESUS PAID IT ALL

I want to start by saying sorry to anyone I have come into contact with in the past couple of days for my attitude. There has been a lot going on lately and I have more to think about lately than I would care to think about. I have been stressing over many things and instead of praying I have been worrying.

I'll admit that it is hard to trust God. I try to recite scripture to myself thinking that it will help. There is a disconnect between my knowledge of the sovereign God and my complete trust in Him. By placing trust in my own hands I am taking away something that is reserved for my Creator. No wonder I feel this unstable, nervous, and scared.

Today my heart was pierced by scripture:
He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us
all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
-Romans 8:32

God broke through my self-sufficient thought pattern to show me that He is trustworthy and in control. I surrendered my thoughts, my worries, and my control to the Lord. This morning I sang "Jesus Paid It All" as the traditional hymn and ended the day by worshipping God singing the same song in the modern rendition. Praise Him for paying our debt, raising our lives up from the dead, and being our righteousness!

I hear the savior say,
"Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in me thine all in all."

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
"Jesus died my soul to save"
my lips shall still repeat

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead

O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead
O Praise the one who paid my debt
And raised this life up from the dead

JESUS

So lets see if comments work...Oh, and as a girl let me tell you how often there is a disconnect between my knowlege and feelings. I think that is one of the great things about song as it is more then just a subtle reminder of His truth.

brian - thanks for sharing that, brother. my pastor preached an amazing sermon Sunday evening about how we, as believers, ought to react under difficult trials: meditate on the promises of God.

it is an encouragement to me to hear that you are doing just that. i'm praying for you bro.

In the perfect and finished work of the Lord,
Case

Perhaps you are wondering whether your partner will shower you with gifts this Valentine’s Day or whether you will end up disappointed and questioning your worth in his or her eyes. Maybe you do not have a significant other but desperately wish to make someone happy and thus feel happy in return.
