The news of Whitney Houston shocked me. Yes...she had a tumultuous life - drugs, sex, a failed marriage, fame, and the list goes on. On the outside looking in, one would think that Whitney had some knowledge of God. She spoke here and there about her relationship with God and even had a debut single on her last album, "I Look to You." Here are just some of the lyrics:
I look to you,
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you
'bout to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm go'n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you
'bout to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm go'n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
Today's post is to encourage you that it's time for you to exhale. Why keep waiting? Look to Him, the one who is the author and finisher of your faith. Lay aside every weight that so easily besets you and run. Move forward into the place He wants you to be. It's not easy, but it's necessary. When you decide to let go and let God (LITERALLY), you will realize that the transformation has just begun.
There is....PURPOSE in the process.

This is a similar process that I am going through. I am still waiting on circumstances to allow ne to exhale. But as I recently have learned, that is not what we should do. We lose the ability to control that process and deviate away from God's assistance when when let circumstances dictate when it happens. As in the case of Whitney, it was too little too late. She lost sight and never overcame. God has empowered me to position myself to make things better over the past few months. He said in His word that he has already done what needs to be done. So it is up to me to get in line and make it happen and exhale.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the late response :( Thanks for the comment, Marcus! "He has already done what needs to be done" is a powerful statement. What are we waiting for? We just need to catch up with Him!!! Amen!
