The Playlist of a Journey

Music is a very big part of my life. I have found that it is one of the things in my life I would be lost without. Throughout the journey God has been taking me on, he has really spoken to me through different songs. At first the songs were ones that would bring comfort, but then they soon changed into songs that sing of His love.

In the next few posts I would like to share some of the songs that have really spoken to my heart and ministered to me. I have already written about two songs in previous blogs so I figured I should share some more.

The first song I would like to share is Desert Song by Hillsong.

This is my prayer in the desert
And all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in the hunger in me
My God is a God who provides

And this is my prayer in the fire
In weakness or trial or pain
There is a faith proved
Of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

And this is my prayer in the battle
And triumph is still on it's way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

This is my prayer in the harvest
When favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

I love this song because it shows the different stages we go through in our Christian life. We go through seasons that feel so dry and then God fills us up again and it is time for a harvest. In talking with a friend about this song, I shared how I loved the bridge because it says "All of my life, in every season you are still God and I have a reason to sing, I have a reason to worship." This line is so powerful, and I think it is so easily forgotten. No matter what we are walking through in life, God is still God. He still loves and cares for us.

I think it is so easy for Christians to forget to worship God in the seasons in our lives that feel like a desert. I believe that if we seek God out in those desert seasons, he meets us in ways that we could have never imagined! God blesses us for worshiping him in the good and the bad times in our lives. You just have to trust that everything is going to be okay because it is in God's hands.

I know how unbelievable hard it can be to give up control and put all of your trust in God, but it is the best thing that you could ever do. God continues to bless me everyday because he knows I have given him everything and trust him completely.

Remember that God is still God always. Psalm 45:11 says "because he is your Lord, worship Him"...
