Wednesday's Inspiration

I was awakened with a song in my heart this morning. We sang this song at church for a period of time; it ministered to me at that time and it is ministering to me this morning even as I am typing these words. The song is "Counting on God" and I am familiar with the Phillips, Craig and Dean rendition. I would like to share a portion of the words of the song with you today. I sensed in my heart during prayer that someone would read this blog today who is facing some unusual challenges in your life. These "challenges" are beyond your power or ability and you are "counting on God" to come through for you. I want to encourage your faith today and remind you to place your confidence in God. Yes, we are involved in a war but it is not one in which we can win unless we depend on the power of God to move us through the challenges we are facing. But we must also realize the promise of God that is revealed in 1 John 4:4, "You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world." (NKJV)

"Counting On God"

I'm in a fight not physical
I'm in a war but not of this world
You are the light that's beautiful
I want more I want all that's Yours

[Chorus:]
Joy unspeakable that won't go away
Just enough strenght to live for the day
So I never have to worry what tomorrow will bring
'Cause my faith's on solid rock and I'm counting on God
I am counting on I am counting on God
I am counting on I am counting on God
I am counting on I am counting on God
I am counting on I am counting on God

The miracle of Christ is in me
The mystery that sets me free
I'm nothing like I used to be
Just open up your eyes
You'll see 

Let me declare this one more time, "I AM COUNTING ON GOD!!" 

I encourage you to make that same declaration today!!!
