Lyrics hit different when you’re going through it and I probably have played “Shall not want” more times this month than I ever have.
“𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵, 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵. 𝘖𝘩 𝘮𝘺 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭’𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘚𝘩𝘦𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵.”
How true that is.
My actual soul feels peace because I’m not alone or being led by my feelings or life’s twists and turns. Nope. I’m led by my Savior.
I’m led by the One who gives me everything I need and somehow never leaves me feeling empty.
“𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠…” Man. I have no lack. None. Even when I 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 like I’m lacking, my God reminds me of my blessings. He reminds me of the battles He’s fought and won on my behalf. He reminds me to keep walking by faith even when I question Him and I’m frustrated and I’m worried.
In my tears, I trust. I trust Him leading. I trust that I’m treasured and loved by an amazing God. I trust that surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life.
I shall not want.
Keep making my cup run over, Lord.
