Run...Soar.

This is Leona Lewis' new single, a cover of Snow Patrols 'Run'. I love this song. Her voice is completely amazing and when she sings, she sings with such passion and emotion and feeling.

Some of the lyrics read:

'Light up, light up,
As if you have a choice,
Even if you cannot hear my voice,
I'll be right beside you, dear.'

Tonight I've met with some friends from church as we are planning the worship for Sunday. I shared this bible verse:

'Praise the Lord O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits - who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compasssion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.'
Psalm 103 v 1-5.

The song sings about getting through something knowing someone is there even when you can't hear/see them. For me this relates to God. I know He is there even though I cannot physically see Him. There is also always a choice - light always comes.

The bible verse talks about who our God is. The fact that He is holy and should be praised. He blesses us with so many benefits. He forgives ALL our sins. He crowns us with things such as love and compassion. Above it all, He blesses us with things that are 'good'. 'Good' is used a lot in the bible and so often in relation to who God Himself is. God is good and so if He blesses us with good things, they really must be 'GOOD'.

Us excepting God as this helps us to soar as eagles. We take that leap of faith and soar with Him. We cannot necessarily hear His voice and see Him but we choose to leap off the edge anyway and we are blessed with the magnificent, exciting, adventurous soaring that an eagle experiences.
