Helping Others

I had such a wonderful "job" last night!  I consulted with a local Christian School and led them through a problem solving process.  We started with me reading the lyrics of the song "Through It All."  Then, I changed all of the pronouns from I to We and read it again. The Lord truly blessed.  I'm sure the ole devil wanted to stick his big, fat, ugly self into our gathering, but I prayed that Jesus bind him and not let him have access to our meeting, our minds, and our actions.  And he didn't!  How wonderful!  There was such a sweet spirit of collaboration and teamwork as we worked through the process.  Now, the group has to put feet to the fire and move forward with some definite action steps.  But, with God's help, I know that they will succeed. 

Here are the words to this song.  Read them through; sing the song; plant those words deep in your heart.  They are so true!

Through It All *

I've had many tears and sorrows
I've had questions for tomorrow
There've been times I didn't know right from wrong
But in every situation
God gave blessed consolation
That my trials only come to make me strong


I've been a lot of places
And I've seen so many faces
But there've been times I've felt so all alone
But in that lonely hour
In that precious, lonely hour
Jesus let me know I was His own

Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word

So I thank God for the mountains
And I thank Him for the valleys
I thank Him for the storms He's brought me through
Cause if I never had a problem
I wouldn't know that He could solve them
I wouldn't know what faith in His Word could do

Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word
Yes, I've learned to depend upon His Word
I've learned to depend upon His Word
