A New Song
Let my life show
I depend upon You.
My faith comes from
A Fountain that’s good.
Jesus, to Your Word
You remain true.
Let my life show
I depend upon You.
(See Ephesians 2:8)
While enjoying a workout on the trail today, this song rose up from within, and I continued to sing many verses. In addition to faith, I also sang about my health, my relationships, and my finances! The scripture references for these are Psalm 103:3, Matthew 18:21-22, and Malachi 3:19, respectively.
Jesus, You do remain true to your Word. You say that abiding in You is the secret to a blessed life. So I’m holding fast to Your revelation, Your warning, and Your promise!
I am the Vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples (John 15:5-8).
