Devotions with Holly Woodbridge

Blessings and Battles: A pondering from Holly Woodbridge

    PSALM 42
    2 My soul thirsts for God,
        for the living God.
    When shall I come and appear before God?
    3 My tears have been my food
        day and night,
    while they say to me all the day long,
        “Where is your God?”…
    5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,
        and why are you in turmoil within me?
    Hope in God; for yet shall I praise him,
        my salvation 6 and my God.

                        -from Stephen Furtick


Here is what I have learned about battles and blessings. Both will come, both will go. But God is with me always. So, “I will praise Him in the storm” for He is enough. I will praise Him when the sun shines for He is enough. He is provider and comforter. He is the answer. He is my help and my hope. He is the One I will hold on to. He is the One I will lean on. Yes, He is the One I will praise!

DAWN – Rebecca St. James

Lord, I'm so tired in this fight
Tired of waking up with no end in sight
I feel I've got so little left
I know that I've come to the end of myself

Help me hold on
Cling to You 'til I see the sun

Held by Your love, I sing alleluia
You're lifting my heart as I lift my hands
Safe in Your love, I sing alleluia
You're healing my heart as I lift my hands

Even in the darkness, even when it's hardest
You are faithful and You bring the dawn
On every mountain, I'll sing it even louder
You are faithful and You bring the dawn
