A few words from Jordan

 

“It’s scary but I’m not alone”

Life is NUTS right now. Our country is upside down. There’s division, hate, animosity and a new problem every day. Tensions are high. The economy is out of whack and eggs are SO EXPENSIVE. 

Why are eggs ever that expensive? 

But, here’s what I know and cling to…

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world”
-John 16:33

I heard a preacher one time say “be nice to people because every single person you meet is either in a storm, just came out of a storm, or they are headed into a storm.”

And, honestly, that’s one of the truest things I’ve ever heard. We all have our “stuff.” We all have situations in our lives that cause us to wonder where God is and long for our future with Him when all is made right. Today, as I write this, I have so many questions about my own life; so many fears that I have to daily reconcile with God.

But, He’s never left me or forsaken me. He’s always made a way. And as I regularly tell my wife (and myself), “has there ever been a day that we haven’t had what we needed?”

Walking with Jesus doesn’t automatically remove scary situations from our lives. We still have to experience scary things, but not alone. Jesus leads us with His peace and joy and gives us His perspective.

So wherever this blog post finds you, HOLD on to Him. He is with you. He is for you. He has good things in store for those who love Him. 

It may be scary… but you’re not alone.

 
 

scary lyrics

Verse 1
Lately, I felt like I was a little bit
Crazy just trying to figure it out
But I’m waiting 'cause I’ve run out of solutions
And I’m learning what the truth is

Pre Chorus 1
It’s the promise that
Whatever comes
Whatever storms
Though this road leads to the great unknown

Chorus
I’m not alone! I’m flying with angels!
It might seem dangerous
But I'm not afraid of this
I’m holding on!
You taught me to dance here
Let you be the answer
When I’m at my weakest
I know you are strong
It’s scary, but I’m not alone!

Verse 2
You saved me
Now we both have a history
So maybe I could trust a little bit more

Pre Chorus 2
You’re everything
That I have ever needed
You’re my bread and my protection
No matter what

Bridge
Oo-oo, let’s go traveling canyons and valleys!
Oo-oo, as long as you are keeping me
Through, through this life until the great finale!
You’ll prove if I just trust you and believe!

Tag
When I’m weary and the road is long
When everything is going wrong
It’s scary, but I’m not alone!
