This morning I turned on some music as I was checking my finances and these lyrics “randomly” came to my ears:
Holy design
This place in time
That I might seek your face, my God
My God
Lord I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion
Over You, and only You
Lord I want to yearn for You
I want to burn with passion
Over You, and only You
Lord I want to yearn
Your joy is mine
Yet why am i fine
With all my singing and bringing grain
In light of Him
Oh You give life and breath
In You we live and move
That’s why I sing
~ “Yearn” by Shane and Shane
When looking at my finances, I sincerely questioned whether I would be able to tithe this paycheck. My heart breaks to find the discomfort in the answer. But you know what’s funny? It’s not even a deficiency problem. It seems to be a pride problem. Can I ask for help?
I believe God is Big.
I believe God is Mighty.
I believe God provides.
And even in discomfort, all I need is given to me.
Just ask.
So out of the GREAT gain of knowing Christ Jesus, My Lord, self-denial and leaving behind pride seem to be such easier steps.
I just have to keep my eyes on Christ.
I trust my God.
He will be exalted through my obedience.
