Another Rainy Monday...

If you are familiar with any of Steven Curtis Chapman's older music, you'll recognize the title of my post. Here I am, sitting at my computer on a rainy Monday morning. It's amazing that through our weakest days, Jesus keeps us strong. All we have to do is keep our eyes on Him.

Weak Days
Written by Steven Curtis Chapman and James Isaac Elliott
II Cor 12:9

Another rainy Monday,
Looks like I'm gonna be late again;
Why does the race I'm runnin' never seem to have an end.
A day away from Sunday,
Feels like I'm already losing ground
Funny sometimes how quickly my emotions get turned around;
They're letting me down.

CHORUS
I gotta keep my eyes on Jesus
Through the weak days;
In a world where we really don't belong,
I've discovered if I keep my eyes on Jesus
Through the weak days,
Then even on the weak days He'll make me strong.

The spirit is so willing
When the fellowship is so sweet;
How soon all the good intentions
Find the flesh is weak.
But there's a power waiting,
With no limits to times or space;
All of our doubts and fears disappear without a trace
When we look on His face.

(chorus)

And when we keep our eyes on Jesus,
We'll gladly follow where He leads us.


God, please help me keep my eyes focused on you when everything around me seems to be pulling for my attention. You are powerful and mighty! You give me strength when I'm unable to do anything on my own. You know the answers before I ask the questions. You are everything and I am nothing...
