Grateful For Music Challenge Day 3
Song: Consider the Lilies
Artist: Claire Crosby
I needed this sweet song today. I feel like my life is just a constant, uphill battle and that I can never catch a break! It makes me feel so hopeless, defeated and exhausted all of the time. I wish I could remember how to find joy and be happy again. I wish I could get back the enthusiasm for life (especially the holiday season) that I used to have without faking it. Faking it for my family, my blog, my calling, etc.
This song brought peace and warmth to my soul and tears to my eyes. The video warms my heart and puts a smile on my face. What a precious little girl! As one comment on the video said "When God used a little girl to remind me of things that I'm kinda forgetting. Thank you Jesus for Claire! Bless you little girl!" I second this! I was immediately reminded of the goodness and love of God. I was reminded of how aware He is of the "sheep in His fold." Another comment reads: "I was thinking my whole day is wasted now and I was just sitting hopelessly, but when I listened to this song I got a hope of light!!! Thank you God :) For providing me this wonderful life!!" I have had many days within these past several months feeling this exact same way. Sitting on my bed thinking "Well, another day wasted. Things won't get better." Losing hope. Wishing for everything to end. Again, this beautiful song reminded me that there is hope and that hope is in Jesus Christ.
I am so grateful for the sweet testimony this beautiful child shared through music. I am so grateful that there is hope in Christ. I am grateful for the ways He provides for me even when it's not always very clear or I'm too depressed to fully acknowledge it. I think I'll be listening to this song on repeat for the next several days. I need to be reminded of this uplifting message on a regular basis.
Consider the lilies of the field,
How they grow, how they grow.
Consider the birds in the sky,
How they fly, how they fly.
He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky.
And He will feed those who trust Him,
And guide them with His eye.
Consider the sheep of His fold,
How they follow where He leads.
Though the path may wind across the mountains,
He knows the meadows where they feed.
He clothes the lilies of the field.
He feeds the birds in the sky,
And He will feed those who trust Him,
And guide them with His eye.
Consider the sweet, tender children
Who must suffer on this earth.
The pains of all of them He carried
From the day of His birth.
He clothes the lilies of the field,
He feeds the lambs in His fold,
And He will heal those who trust Him,
And make their hearts as gold.
He clothes the lilies of the field,
He feeds the lambs in His fold,
And He will heal those who trust Him,
And make their hearts as gold.
