Scripture & Song for the day!

 Scripture:

"These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." John 16:33

I know that many of us have our own trials and tribulations. Me for example, I come from a family of alcoholics, drug addicts, gays, and unsaved people. It breaks my heart and I go through a lot all of the time because of the situation they put themselves in. I have also lost a lot of amazing people in my life in very tragic ways. But being a woman of God I find it much easier to deal with and knowing that God has overcome the world gives me the hope and strength I need to move on to better things. I know that God will make change and that gives me peace. Thank you Lord.

"You Shine" Brian Doerksen

I feel this song relays to what my scripture of the day says. Why should we be afraid? For God has overcome the world! Worry, frustration, aggravation, is not from God. God has overcome we do not need to have all of these awful things in our lives! God is an awesome God isn't He?

Lyrics:

Why should I feel mad,
When You made the heavens?
Why should I be afraid,
When You put the stars in place?
Why should I lose heart,
When I know how great you are?
Why should I give up,
When Your plans are full of love?

In this world we will have trouble,
But You have overcome the world!
You Shine,
Brighter than the brightest star!
Your Love,
Purer than the purest heart!
You Shine,
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You!

(Back to First Verse)

You Shine,
Brighter than the brightest star!
Your Love,
Purer than the purest heart!
You Shine,
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You!

In this world we will have trouble,
But You have overcome the world!
You have overcome the world...!

(Chorus)

You---- Shine----,(oh Lord! oh Lord give us courage,
give us courage and strength, to follow you!)
You---- Shine----! (to the ends of the earth! oh Lord! oh Lord!
We're gonna follow, we're gonna follow You!)
