His Story

The worship team sang Center yesterday in church.

If you haven’t heard this one yet, take a listen.

This line just keeps playing over and over again in my mind.

“If my days tell a story,
Let it be of You only.”

If I’m being honest, there are times I want to take the credit.

I want the story to be about me or something I’ve accomplished.

But everything I have is because of Him.

Truly everything is His.

There is nothing that cannot be traced back to His hand, His grace or His mercy.

It’s easy to want to put the spotlight on ourselves.

But our lives should tell the story of how messy and how beautifully His is intertwined with ours.

Because if we do, someone else might see Him in their story, too.

So that’s my challenge today.

If our lives tell the story, let it be of Him only.

“Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It’s way over our heads. We’ll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell Him what to do? Anyone who has done Him such a huge favor that God has to ask his advice? Everything comes from Him; Everything happens through Him; Everything ends up in Him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11‬:‭33‬-‭36‬ ‭MSG‬‬
