Yesterday we sang "Everlasting God" in a worship seminar that I attended. I'm sure most of you have heard this song. As I sang, the words struck me differently and they had a deeper meaning. Immediately I thought of blogging here and I knew I had to share this today. I know so many of us are hurting, physically and emotionally. I just want each of you to know that problem your facing is temporary coz we have an Eternal God. This song is SO fitting to where we are in this journey!
It’s hard to act like everything is alright, when in fact everything is terribly wrong, and life is just constantly punching you in the face, not literally of course. No matter how hard you try to make something work, it never works out. You try doing everything on your own but your pride, selfishness, and bad intentions/ambitions get the better of you. When you finally hit “rock- bottom,” after every hit, every toss, and every fall, you feel as though no one is on your side, when really, God has been on your side all the time.
He is there when you’re up and when you’re down, you get up, He gets up, you fall down, He falls down with you and feels your pain and agony. He humbles you and reminds you that in your stumbles, He is always with you ‘til the end. He molds you in his image. He guides you through your darkest hour. His love towards you is unconditional. He is, and always will be, your Everlasting God.
Everlasting God lyrics:
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on the wings
Like eagles
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
'Cause You are, You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on the wings
Like eagles
Scripture verses:
Isaiah 40:28-31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary,and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
Psalm 90:1-4 Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
