Till the Stars Fall...

Wow! A month ago today we were at the Wilds and God was already working in so many of our lives! I am telling you right now, this is going to be long post! But I have a lot to share and dont want to leave anything out! Ok, to start with, read the words to this song and really think about them...

From the very start, have purpose in your heart
To do what's right, and never question why
Never count the cost though everything seems lost
The price for doing right is sometimes very high

Right is always right and wrong is always wrong
And we must learn to seperate the two.
If you love the right, the Lord will give you light;
So seek the right in everything you do!

Do right till the stars fall.
Do right till the last call.
Do right when there no one else to stand by you.
Do right when youre all alone.
Do right though it never known.
Do right since you love the Lord.
Do right! Do right!

I have heard this song before but it is starting to have a new meaning for me....I am beginning to realize how easy it is to slip up and to let yourself think it is ok, because its just something small or nobody will know. ..How easy it is to make excuses! This song says you should want to Do Right simply because you love the Lord! I found this verse in Proverbs that says, "For the ways of man are before the eyes of the Lord and he pondereth all his goings" I looked up the definition of the word pondereth and this is what it says "To weigh in the mind with thoroughness and care." In other words, God is looking at everything we are doing and thinking about it. When we do something, He is literally meditating on it. That really makes me think. Is what I am doing pleasing Him as He thinks about it or is He dissapointed? This is something the Lord has really been working with me about. It is something I would appreciate prayer for as well. It has been very easy for me justify wrong-doing or to be a coward when it comes to confessing the wrong.

"Sometimes life seems like words and music that can't quite become a song. So we cry inside and we try again and wondered what could be wrong...but when we turn to the LORD at the end of ourselves like we've done a time or two before. We'll find HIS truth is the same as it's always been and never will need more. It's not in trying but in trusting...it's not in running but in resting...it's not in wondering but in praying...that we find the strength of the LORD."

In Awe of Him,
