Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending, 

Your glory goes beyond all fame my heart and my soul, 

Lord I give you control 

Consume me from the inside out Lord 

Let justice and praise become my embrace To love You from the inside out  

Your will above all else, my purpose remains The art of losing myself in bringing you praise

I'm so tired of writing this paper for Old Testament right now to be completely honest. Its 3:30am and I don't think I could make it any colder in here, do any more crunches and pushups to stay awake, or think of anything else to write for this paper. Its all about how God dealt with the other nations in the prophetic books of the Bible, and to be honest I just see myself painted all across these books. God just wants all of mankind to be captivated by him, worshipping him, in awe of who he is--not for the things he gives or takes away, but for who he is. When God told Moses to go to Egypt he didn't say I will do this and that for you. He told him to say that I AM sent you. God wants us to be satisfied with Him alone. I know I'm at fault many times for looking to God for what he gives or what he can take away in my life in order to make my life better in my opinion. Circumstances and desires often cloud my view of God. But the most precious times in my life have been when he doesn't change anything and although I so desperately want to see my situation changed, just like the Israelites did, he just gives me a glimpse of himself. He gives me just enough to trust him to see that he alone is worthy of my praise and worship. He will do whatever it takes to reclaim our wandering hearts just like he did with Israel. He alone is our satisfaction. I desire that above all else...just to see him. His Word reveals more than I could ever fully comprehend, but that doesn't stop me from longing for the day when I see him face to face. Thoughts like this make everything else in life fade into the backdrop of his glorious grace.
