His Word doesn't change...

I came across a song today by Bethany Dillon, it's called "In the Beginning" and it's based off of John 1:1 - "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God..." It really touched me because this is something I've struggled with for quite a while. I have a hard time motivating myself to get into the Word and to study. I feel like I never get anything when I go to the Word. This song reminded me that even when the rain pours - rain would be bad things in your life - God's Word is still there, and you can never come away empty. It was really encouraging too at this point in my life because since this situation with my brother has happened, I've been even more discouraged and depressed. I'm thankful for the people God has put in my life that are praying for my brother - it's comforting to know that even when I can't pray (or don't feel like it), that God has someone intervening for me.

God is working, and it's been an incredible blessing. I just hope that soon that will start to flow over into my heart, because living with this knowledge of God and what I'm "supposed" to do... and not doing anything is very discouraging.

I continue to sing the words God placed on my heart:

"Even as the rain and snow come down

and do not return empty,
Making it bear fruit and sprout,

so Your Word will be..."
