Anxiety creeps into my life when I least expect it. My fears have been filling my thoughts lately instead of the comforting and secure truths of God’s Word.
As a Christian living in the world, life is a battle. If you try to coast along in neutral, you will be swayed by every circumstance that comes. That is why our lives must be consistently rooted and grounded in God and His Word.
I just love the message of Francesca Battistelli’s song, “Strangely Dim.” God’s Word is truth and teaches me who my God is and where my security lies. I want to so saturate my heart in God’s Word that everything else grows “strangely dim.”
When I fix my eyes on all that You are
Then every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
All my worries fade
And fall to the ground
Cause when I seek Your face
And don’t look around
Any place I’m in
Grows strangely dim
I don’t know, I don’t know
What tomorrow may hold
But I know, but I know
That You’re holding it all
So no matter what may come
I’m gonna fix my eyes on all that You are
‘Til every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim
Let all my worries fade
And fall to the ground
I’m gonna seek Your face
And not look around
Til the place I’m in
Grows strangely, strangely, strangely dim.
