Miley is Right, it Really is All About The Climb.

So I love when God plays a song on the radio, right when you need it. That is a reason why I love the radio so much, call me crazy, but I really believe God uses it to speak to us sometimes. To drown out all the other noises and thoughts until we can just hear what He wants us to. So, I was driving home today and on 99.1 the song " I Will Lift My Eyes" by Bebo Norman traveled through my speakers into my ears. I mean, I have probably heard the song a million times, but today, it stuck out to me. The words hit me as if Christ was screaming His words of Love to me. 

God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now
God, be near calm my fear and take my doubt
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

God, my God, let mercy sing
her melody over me
and God, right here all I bring
is all of me
Your kindness is what pulls me up
Your love is all that draws me in

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You

'Cause You are and You were and You will be forever
the Lover I need to save me
'Cause You fashioned the earth and You hold it together, God
so hold me now

I will lift my eyes to the Maker
of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You
God, my God, I cry out
Your beloved needs You now

Something that hit me for the first time, while listening to this song today, was the lyrics that say " I will lift my eyes to the Maker of the mountain I can't climb." We aren't praying to a God that isn't strong enough. We are praying to the MAKER of the struggle. The maker and creator of the steep incline we are trying to get to the top of. Woah. That kind of changes everything doesn't it? I lose perspective sometimes. I forget just how big my God is. Just how strong He is. He made this mountain, He made each obstacle that is before me, how can I doubt that He knows the way? He is more than that. He is the healer of every hurt inside. EVERY hurt. Woah. The things that hurt us that no one knows about. He can heal it. He is in the process of healing me. He is in the process of leading me. I am struggling with where He is bringing me. Isn't that dumb? I am reading this devotional book called "Streams In The Desert." One of the days it said every time we are feeling sad or worrying, we are actually just doubting God. If we weren't doubting God, then we would feel excited and hopeful. But fear and sadness it basically just telling God " You don't know what You are doing." I always try to remember that, cling to it actually. He does know what He is doing. It is as simple as that. He does. Better than we do, even though it may not seem like it or what is ahead is so distorted..He can bring us to the top of the mountain. We just need to follow His route.
