Even when I don't feel like it.....

There are many times in life when we just don't feel like it, we don't feel like singing to God, we don't feel like smiling, we don't feel like being anything........sometimes we are just in a "desert". Some days are just "desert days", some weeks are just "desert weeks", some years are just "desert years"!  One thing I know is that God will quench my thirst no matter how long I am in my "desert". We must hold tight to Him even when we want to let go.
This youtube video below has spoken to me so much this past year. I watch, listen, and cry to it often when I have those "desert days", "desert weeks", or just "desert hours". I took some of her quotes from this video and have them hanging on a piece of paper above my desk because I must be reminded so often that...........
*GOD IS IN CONTROL
*I MUST CHOOSE TO WORSHIP EVEN WHEN I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT
*MY CIRCUMSTANCE, THIS SEASON DOESN'T CHANGE WHO GOD IS ... GOD IS STILL GOD
*IT DOESN'T CHANGE WHAT HE HAS CALLED ME TO BE OR WHAT HE HAS CALLED ME TO DO
*HE IS ON THE THRONE!
*HE RULES!
*HE IS BIGGER THAN EVERYTHING I AM FACING!!
 Even when we don't understand things, we are able to look at God and say things that are true of Him and declare the Word of God and His promises. When I am in a fire, being refined, and in battle and the Triumph isn't here yet but it is coming ....... I look at God and say "I know who you are". Then He gets bigger in your life and He takes over things in life that feel so shattered and puts them back together and makes Him the focus!!
