Be My Composer, Be My Conductor


Be My Composer, Be My Conductor:

"A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps." (Proverbs 16:9)

God is sovereign. The constant struggle we face with our flesh is that we must aim to crucify it and surrender our souls, making God not only the Composer of our life-song, but also the Conductor.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths." (Proverbs 3:5-6; emphasis mine)

This act of surrender places the reigns in God's hands instead of our own. By doing so we are declaring it over our lives that He is Lord, and He is the Merciful Master of our melodic orchestra. He is the One who deems and directs, and every note He writes emanates from immaculate Love.

"The LORD directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives." (Psalms 37:23 NLT; emphasis mine)

"Establish my steps and direct them by [means of] Your word; let not any iniquity have dominion over me."(Psalm 119:133 AMP)

O Heavenly Father, hear my prayer this day...

God, I know Your will is perfect. I know Your plan is to prosper me and not to harm me. So, Lord, today I open up the music staff of my heart to You and I invite You to Compose a symphony of life inside of my soul.

Be my Great Composer, yes. But God, even more so, be my Sovereign Conductor, because I can't call the shots on my own. In my own strength, I am destined to fail, so please come and lead me into the glorious future You've promised. Be my Composer, God. Be my Conductor, Lord. I surrender my soul. I surrender my all. Amen.

Faith That He is Near Always

   One, of many things, for which I am very  grateful, is that the Lord is always near me. He is never far away. I can call on Him through prayer, and He will always listen. He genuinely cares for what I am worried about. No prayer is too small or unimportant, because we are God's children and He loves us all.    Call upon the Lord in times of need, and in times of joyfulness. He wants to commune with us. He desires our yearning for His presence. When we're longing for that "something more" He is the One that can satisfy. He is gentle and loving. He wants to be with you more than you can even imagine.    "The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth." ( Psalm 145:18 ) It pleases Him when we reach out to Him in desperation. Because He is The Creator of all things that exist, when He is our passionate desire, When He is the One thing we need , that's when we are complete. That is when we have peace, joy, and abundant lif...

I Loved You at Your Darkest

I Loved You at Your Darkest: "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don't be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus." (Matthew 17:5-8) In the first few verses of Matthew chapter seventeen, Jesus led Peter, James, and John up to a mountain top. It was just the four of them, or so the disciples thought. Whilst they were walking Jesus was "transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." (Matthew 17:2) Today, this passage is really speaking to me. I feel like the Lord is using this passage as a reminder that sometimes we must fall "facedown on the ground" in complete awe of His glory and surrender to His mysterious yet miraculous ways. A...
