I had the pleasure of praying with a number of people from our church last night. The last Sunday of every month we gather for our Prayer and Praise night. We had a number of talented young adults lead us in worship. It was great to see the vibrant passion for Jesus in these young leaders. God is raising a new generation that is strong and courageous in the things God has called them to.
During this time of prayer we were singing a song by John Mcmillan, How He loves me. As we were singing the first verse there were some words that really stuck out in my heart. The verse goes like this,
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
"Bending benath the weight of his wind and mercy" We can bend beneath the weight of a lot of things. I had the picture of a people bending beneath the cares of this world. We can bend beneath the weight of guilt, shame, fear, sin, condemnation and so much more. Or we can bend beneath the wind of the spirit. The truth is we will bend and we are meant to bend. It's what wind we put ourselves in. I want to stay beneath the wind of God. I want his breath to be the one moving me.
I ask you the question what are you bending beneath?
Have a great week.
