I Know

In the great big scheme of things, I'm pretty sure that the list of things I don't know, is far longer than the list of things that I do know. I don't know, for instance, why guys need everything to be faster and louder - always. I don't know anything about brain surgery (except that I don't want to participate on any level - I know that). I don't know how cell phone conversations float through the air and land in my phone. I don't know how some birds make intricately woven nests - with . no . hands - and I can't tie a non-embarrassing bow - with two hands. I do not know how Google can give me 8 zillion answers to my question in 2 seconds. I don't know why water heater hoses only burst at 3:15 a.m. I don't know why, after 45 months of pregnancy, I still don't have one kid who looks like me. (A couple of blue eyes! How hard is that?) I don't know why the dog walking under my desk can make the internet go away. I don't know.

And, I don't know why I've worried so much about aging, because it's only now, in my more "mature" years that I have actually figured out a thing or two that I actually DO know.

I know that Jesus said that in this life, here on this earth, we will have trials. He had them, too.
I know that there will be dark times and shadows. Jesus had a dark week.
I know that at times, fear and doubt will yell much louder than my bewildered faith.
I know that sometimes we will laugh and enjoy, and sometimes we will cry . . . and wait.
I know that the reason 1 Corinthians says ". . . we will not be tempted beyond what we are able to bear . . ." , is because sometimes, parts of life will seem unbearable.

~AND~

I also know that He has plans for us. (Jeremiah 29:11)
I know that He causes all things to work together for good. (Romans 8:28)
I know that He will supply all of our needs. (Philippians 4:19)
I know that there is no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)
I know that He is with me. (Isaiah 41:10)
I know that "Eye has not seen nor ear heard all the good things God has made ready and stored up for those who love Him!" (1 Corinthians 2:9)

~~BUT~~

The very best thing that I know, my most FAVORITE best thing of all - that I KNOW - has already been expressed (sung) so much better than I ever, ever could.

So . . .

Just press play and listen to the only thing we really NEED to know.
I even put the words for ya! :)

In Him . . .

I Know - Darrell Evans

Though I'm walking through the valley
Of the darkest hour I've known
Lord don't You leave me all alone
When I'm surrounded by the shadows
That seem to feed my fear
I will trust You
Though I may not feel You here

But I know that Your love is unfailing
O I know Your grace is so amazing
O I know even though my faith be shaken
O I still know that I’ll never be forsaken
‘Cause You’re always faithful
I know

When my bed has been floating
On the flood of all my tears
Seems as though my joy has disappeared
Still I will not put my hope
In what I feel or see
I will cling to You
And Trust You’re holding me

'Cause I know that Your love is unfailing
O I know Your grace is so amazing
O I know even though my faith be shaken
O I still know that I’ll never be forsaken
‘Cause You’re always faithful
I know

I worship You
I look to You
I trust You with my life
I worship You
I look to You
Come lift my head up high

Lord I don’t know where I’m walking
But I’ll take it day by day
And I’ll hold Your hand
And You will lead the way

And I know that Your love is unfailing
O I know Your grace is so amazing
O I know even though my faith be shaken
O I still know that I’ll never be forsaken
‘Cause You’re always faithful

I know
