2 thoughts on “Featured Inspiration: The Battle by Mariam Perkins-Smith”
Beautiful. Just Beautiful. The Battle is not yours it’s the Lord’s. Often I think we forget this and try to fight the battle ourselves, but 2 Chronicles 20:15 says “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the LORD says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” I can admit, that I have tried to fight some battles and I failed big time. I had to learn to lean on God and trust him in the midst of what I was going through. I had to learn to be steadfast and trust in God. He is my provider and way maker. Hallelujah. My King, My Rock. My Father and My Protector. He is my Comforter. Late in the Midnight Hour I wake up to tears rolling down my face because of this or that…but when I think about the goodness of Jesus and all what he has done for me, my soul cries yes. I may not have a mother or father on this Earth, but he has sent 4 or 5 others that nurture to me and my children. I may not have much family left, but God has provided me and my family with a village of God Loving People at Eau Claire Baptist Church. God didn’t say it was going to be easy…And I give him praise Any How. Have you ever felt so low to you feel like you wanted to give up. But then you feel a joy inside of you and you wondering where did it come from? I have felt that on a many of occasions. That’s God speaking to you. God is saying the battle is not yours it’s mine. Give what ever you are going through to the Lord. He will not put more on you than you can bear! Can I get a witness? God Cares. Amen. Thank you Whitnee for sharing Miriam’s beautiful voice and filling me up this morning. A much needed inspiration.
To God be the glory! She dedicated this song to my mom back in January when I sent a mass text to people asking them to say or sing something to lift my moms spirits when she hadn’t been feeling well. Miriam did this unselfishly and it really turned my moms sorrow into happiness. God bless you both.
