Spiritual Sundays – When I Don’t Know What To Do

Hello Everyone,

Thursday night at Bible study we had to tell what was our spiritual go to song. I had no problem listing mine: How Great Thou Art, I Feel Jesus, Fear Not My Child and Who Am I. All are my favorite but I forgot another one that is my go to song. “When I Don’t Know What To Do” by Tommy Walker. I couldn’t find a video by Tommy Walker but I found this one on You Tube. The singer is name Drew Grounds. I have posted the lyrics below also. I hope you enjoy it!

Lord I surrender all to Your strong and faithful hand

In everything I will give thanks to You

I'll just trust Your perfect plan

When I don't know what to do

I'll lift my hands

When I don't know what to say

I'll speak Your praise

When I don't know where to go

I'll run to Your throne

When I don't know what to think

I'll stand on Your truth

When I don't know what to do

Lord I surrender all

Though I'll never understand

All the mysteries around me

I'll just trust your perfect plan

When I don't know what to do

I'll lift my hands

When I don't know what to say

I'll speak Your praise

When I don't know where to go

I'll run to Your throne

When I don't know what to think

I'll stand on Your truth

When I don't know what to do

As I bow my knee

Send Your perfect peace

Send Your perfect peace Lord

As I lift my hands

Let Your healing come

Let Your healing come to me

As I bow my knee

Send Your perfect peace

Send Your perfect peace Lord

As I lift my hands

Let Your healing come

Let Your healing come to me

As I bow my knee

Send Your perfect peace

Send Your perfect peace Lord

As I lift my hands

Let Your healing come

Let Your healing come to me

When I don't know what to do

I'll lift my hands

When I don't know what to say

I'll speak Your praise

When I don't know where to go

I'll run to Your throne

When I don't know what to think

I'll stand on Your truth

When I don't know what to do

Such a great song!! It really reminds me where to turn when I don't know what to do! For more Spiritual Sundays click on the picture above or visit Ginger’s or Charlotte’s blog. Oh and don’t forget to enter my Beth Moore book giveaway. Until next time

I haven’t posted a Spiritual Sundays post in over two weeks. The last two Sundays I have been sick and didn’t even get out of bed.

My hubs has had this friend for a long time. He writes songs and poems. He has given me a book of his writings and in that book are white copy paper of more of his poems and songs. My hubs had to work yesterday and when he came home he handed me two more of these poems and songs. I do enjoy getting them and reading them. Here is one of the one’s he gave me yesterday.

Three Nails To Love

Here are three symbols of my Father’s great love

The only true kind coming from heaven above

Jesus in his very own way saying how He loves us so

Showing this world the kind of love we all should know

One nail for my Father, one nail for Jesus and one nail for me

As the first nail was driven in the palm of His right hand

Jesus said I do this so that you can truly understand

All the great love that my Father has in store for you

He loves you above all forgiving you He will do

One nail for my Father, one nail for Jesus and one nail for me

Jesus said for this I do as a man

As the second nail was driven in his left hand

I will show you that my love for you will always last

I will take your sins on me I will forget your past

One nail for my Father, one nail for Jesus and one nail for me

Jesus said this is a covenant with my Father to keep

As the third nail was driven through the sole of his feet

I do this to show you the love i have for you today

I give to you a love that will always stay

One nail for my Father, one nail for Jesus and one nail for me

Three symbols of love that came from heaven above

Three little nails all about my Father’s love

Showing how to return to heaven at last

Only by three nails can we be forgiven of our past

One nail for my Father, one nail for Jesus and one nail for me

That poem was written by Ike Compton. I hope you liked it. To read more Spiritual Sundays click on the picture above or click on Ginger’s or Charlotte’s blog.

I asked God to take away my pain.
God said, No.
It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.
God said, No.
Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No.
I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No.
You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No.
I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
God said . . . Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

I like this poem it is a reminder to me that some of the things that we ask God for are things that we can obtain on our own. It really is up to us on whether we decide to be happy or sad. If we are angered by people it is up to us to decide whether or not we are going to let those people take our joy from us. Like we may ask God for something, but we can't just sit at home and wait for it to happen. It is up to us to get out there and try to get it if we have done all that we can then go to God and tell him you need His help. We as Christians have to be active, we can't expect God to obtain or do everything for us.

When I am troubled or feeling weary there are three songs that I listen too. They have always touched me.

Surely The Presence Of The Lord

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
I can feel His mighty power and His grace
I can hear the brush of angel’s wings
I see glory on each face
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place

In the midst of His children
The Lord said He would be
It doesn’t take very many
It can be just two or three
And I feel that same sweet spirit
That I felt oft times before
Surely I can say
I’ve been with My Lord

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
I can feel His mighty power and His grace
I can hear the brush of angel’s wings
I see glory on each face
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place

There’s a holy hush around us
As His glory fills this place
I’ve touched the hem of His garment
I can almost see His face
And my heart is over flowing
with the fullness of His joy
And I know, without a doubt
that I’ve been with the Lord

Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place
I can feel His mighty power and His grace
I can hear the brush of angel’s wings
I see glory on each face
Surely the presence of the Lord is in this place

Another one is by Carman. Now I love Carman. I have seen him several times and his concerts are just awesome. A lot of his songs touch me but I probably sing or play this one at least once a day. "I Feel Jesus".

I feel Jesus

I feel Jesus
I feel Jesus
In this place
Yes my soul does
Burn within me
I feel Jesus
In this place
Yes my soul does
Burn within me
I feel Jesus
In this place
I feel Jesus
In this place
I feel Jesus
In this place

This one is a song I cry to every time I hear it. It just touches me. "How Great Thou Art" by Elvis.

How Great Thou Art

Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, my God how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

I am ready for church now! Thanks for indulging me with three of my favorites. Until next time

Have a blessed day!

Did you know that the phrase "God will never give you more than you can handle" is not in the Bible?

I wanted to share 1 Corinthians 10:13 with you. It reads (NIV):

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful;
he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are
tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

This is the scripture where that phrase originates from. Does it even sound any thing like the phrase that it is tied to? I find it amazing that to me it doesn't. Well it might in a way.

The phrase in question, as I understand it, means God will never give me anything that I can't handle/bear emotionally. But the verse itself alludes to temptation. "You will not be tempted beyond what you can bear and you will have the strenth to bear it" to me that's what the verse means. So exactly what is temptation? Mr. Webster?

1 : the act of tempting or the state of being tempted especially to evil : enticement

2 : something tempting : a cause or occasion of enticement

So does this verse state that while I may be inclined to do something he will give me the strength to overcome this temptation? I think it does.

So when we are facing trials what verses can we turn to? I love James 1:2-4 (NIV):

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many
kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not
lacking anything.

What are you thoughts? When you are going through trials what is your go to verse?

I do have a few prayer requests today too. My brother's girlfriend Patty just found out that her 16 year old son Jake has two blastoma tumors in the back of his brain. From what we understand it is cancer. Two doctors have refused to operate. Now Patty is such a sweet lady. My brother is in love with her and of course you can imagine that this is tearing her up. She is asking for all of our prayers. Her son is really taking this hard. They will be going back to the doctor's on Tuesday to find out about radiation and chemotherapy. Please remember them in your prayers.

Also Baby Jarrod has gained up to 4 lbs. they can not do any surgeries until he is 5 lbs. Here is a little background on Baby Jarrod. Please remember him and his family in your prayers as they are dear friends to me and my daughter.

Beautiful Child of God

Getting some loving from his mommy.
