I watched this young girl — beautiful, talented, and potentially so powerful in the Spirit — beat herself up. Life had been so hard for her! It had beaten her to the point where she felt it was too hard to fight. As I watched her, I thought about those times when I had accepted someone’s opinion of me just out of resignation. It had nothing to do with being a peacemaker or courtesy or even fear. There was no righteousness involved, just resignation! I just did not feel like fighting to make my point.
“There was a song that God sang over you when you were born,” I told her. “You have an enemy of your soul who does not want you to hear that song. He will use the horrible things in you life so that the music of that song becomes chaotic discords and the lyrics just a jumble of nonsensical syllables. But you have a reason to fight to hear that song; it’s your right because it is a song just for you! Fight to hear it,” I exhorted, “because it is full of hope! It is loaded with your destiny and a future of great promise! It’s easy to be resigned to something — but resignation is not righteousness! When you have the attitude of fighting for what is yours, you will see the strength of your Father more and more in your life. You will see victory because you have it!”
I want to encourage the same for you! Fight to hear that song that the Lord sings over you according to Zephaniah 3:9 NIV. It’s yours! Your enemy cannot take it from you but he will try to distort it!
Abba, thank you for the song! YOU sang it so it must be beautiful! YOU wrote it so it must be loaded with powerful words! That’s why the enemy does not want me to hear it! But I will fight to hear the song that you sang over me and sing over me now, and I know with your grace I will live out its destiny. You are for me . . . so no one can be against me! Give me the grace to make every part of me submit to your loving Spirit! Amen!
APPLICATION: What is one Scripture that would reflect the song that the Lord sings over your life?
Genesis 1:26,27 Then God Said, “Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness…27 So God created man in His own image; male and female He created them…
This reminds me who I am and who I was created to be and the endless possibilities of the image of me. I often forget and resign, because I feel so far away from who I was created to be. Lost, in a world who has traded and suppressed the true image of God into an image made like corruptible man. But, thank God that He only see’s me for who I am. I am His daughter, created in His image and in His likeness. Thank God, that He knows who I am, that His love is great for me, because I am His creation. I thank God for relentlessly reminding me and touching my heart with His truth. And opening my eyes to see His image, with in me and all around me. He sings this over me to show me that I am His Eve.
Beautiful! You should write His song . . . or maybe, a song FOR Him!
