Hello 1nebody,

I hear Thursday is the new Friday. So, we have come to the end of another week! Glory to God! Hasn’t the Lord been good! He has been our rock and we are grateful!

It’s a common thing for us (believers and unbelievers) to worry, and 95% of the time, we worry about things we have no control over. Yet, we can’t seem to put our minds to rest over such things, and I always wondered why?! My opinion, human nature! So let’s break this down:

Human nature – it is human nature to be weak, scared, forgetful, impatient, and the list goes on. While God is powerful, peaceful, reliable, all knowing and like the bible says, his ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). That is exactly what this slow-tempo song, in all its delicacy, does. It gives a clear picture of how God’s awesome features and characteristics cancel out our faults and shortcomings.

Jonathan McReynolds made a comparison of his inabilities with God’s abilities, which became a declaration for him and an awareness that he can’t do it all by himself because there is Someone Whose strength fills up his weakness, Whose peace covers his fears and His truth overshadows every lie. He is the lover of his soul. Why not make that declaration too?

“What I lack, you are full of

Where I’m broken, you are whole

What I’m doubting, you are sure of

So, I’ll trust the lover of my soul.”

And like Jonathan McReynolds, we all have doubts sometimes, we are down, with no strength to go on. But we were never expected to go through all that alone. We have Someone ready to take it all up for us. He is Almighty and capable of bearing it all; we just need to trust Him and lay it all at His feet (Matt 11:28-30/ Psa 55:22).

Of course, things get overwhelming sometimes, and it gets really difficult to even confess these words. Well, that’s where the song comes in; if you have to, put it on repeat until you have the strength to sing along and to declare every word. The words that nullify every doubt in your spirit, bring you to tears and down on your knees, but then back on your feet with a smile on your face and that bold declaration on your mouth, “I’ll trust the lover of my soul.”

So, go ahead and listen to the song here and make that bold declaration.

God bless,

Dasola
