As we study women of the Old Testament, I find remarkable women in my path and marvel at their contributions to God's Kingdom. Here are excerpts from two such women found on Christian radio stations, Leanna Crawford and Samantha Ebert. Even if you've heard them before, I invite you to listen to these songs and read the excerpts below. God is surely speaking through these women!
Excerpts from: Still Waters (Psalm 23) by Leanna Crawford
"Write scripture on your heart for when you need it 'Cause anxiety hates Psalm 23. So just say it to yourself 'til you believe it"
Lord, I believe You can set mе at ease Turn this broken piеce in me to peace and quiet
I know there's
power in Your word So I'll say it over and over 'til my soul's
reminded
Still waters run through any valley I
could find I'm laying fear down here at Heaven's riverside
Your
word has been true in every season of my life
Oh, the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall
not want
He leads me by still waters 'til my fears are gone
Though
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Oh, I know You
are with me, my Father, my friend
Your goodness and mercy will
follow me all of my days
I know by Your still waters I'm safe
Excerpts from: Flowers by Samantha Ebert
Well, blue skies and hillsides feel so
far away
And I wrote in my notebook that I've seen better
days
Than the ones as of late
I can't bear that weight
I wish something would change
'Cause
I'm losing faith
So I brought it up in a desperate
prayer
Lord, why are you keeping me here?
Then He said to me,
"Child, I'm planting seeds
I'm a good God and I have a good
plan
So trust that I'm holding a watering can
And someday
you'll see that flowers grow in the valley"
So whatever the reason, I'm barely
getting by
I'll trust it's a season knowing that you're by my
side
Every step of the way
And I'll be okay
When I'm on the mountain and looking
down below
I'll see a valley of flowers that needed time to
grow
And I'll thank you for the rain
The hurt and days of
pain
And I'll bring it up in a grateful prayer
Thank you,
Jesus, for keeping me there
You know just what I need and you've
planted seeds
'Cause you're a good God with a real good plan
And
you hold my world in a watering can
So I can have peace 'cause
flowers grow in the valley
