My life has completely turned around, changed, and has a completely new meaning of crazy-busy. I have started school full-time while still working part-time…there are days when I feel like I just can’t handle it all! There are days when I just want to burst into tears but force myself not to, because I have so much to do. There are days when I want to throw my hands up and say, “Ya know what, God? I just can’t do this. I don’t care if this is where You want me…it’s too hard!”
But those are the days when I look up to a certain card pinned to my bulletin board above my desk…a certain beautiful card in the hand of my best friend reminding me of just how much she loves me, but also reminds me, “…read a passage of Song of Solomon, knowing that YOU are that beautiful Bride of Christ.” As a bride of Christ, I know I am treasured by Him. Think of that! Treasured. That’s how much He loves me. And on those horrible days, when I feel like telling God, “I give up.” I just have to say, “Blessing and Honor to You, Oh God.” Because no matter how hard life is, He has remained faithful. I am His treasured one.
Isaiah 12
1You[a] will say(A) in that day:”I will give thanks to you, O LORD,
for though you were angry with me,
(B) your anger turned away,
that you might comfort me.
2“Behold, God is my salvation;
I will trust, and will not be afraid;
for(C) the LORD GOD[b] is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation.”
3(D) With joy you[c] will draw water from the wells of salvation. 4(E) And you will say in that day:
(F) ”Give thanks to the LORD,
call upon his name,
(G) make known his deeds among the peoples,
proclaim(H) that his name is exalted.
5(I) ”Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously;
let this be made known[d] in all the earth.
6Shout, and sing for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
for great(J) in your[e] midst is(K) the Holy One of Israel.”
Blessing and Honor to YOU, oh, God!
