Set The World On Fire

Okay, so the other day I was freaking out for a few hours. I started to think....what the heck am I doing...going to South Africa...feeding 300 children...setting up a sponsorship program etc. It's all too big, it's too much. What was I thinking? How am I going to do this? I can't do that...I'm not equipped or qualified to do this. Then Daddy had to gently remind me that it is not about me, but it is all about Him. He will be with me every step of the way. He won't call me or ask me to do something and then leave me to fend for myself. I must be weak in order for him to be strong. He is my everlasting strength, my help in times of trouble, the one who gives me courage. If I am not weak then how will the world see that it is Him and not me. I'm going to take a cue from Paul and boast in my weakness so I can be made strong in Christ. Wooohooo I am weak.....I can do NOTHING on my own!!!!!!!!!!

John 5:19 Jesus gave them this answer: “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does."

I Chron 28:20 "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Don't be afraid or discouraged by the size of the task, for the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."

2 Cor 4:7 "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves."

2 Cor 12:10 "Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong."

The next day after my freak out and then my recovery, as I was driving in my car I heard this song on the radio by Britt Nicole called Set The World On Fire. It perfectly describes what I am all about...weakness and all. I feel like she got inside my brain, my thoughts, and my heart and wrote this song. So, of course, I was singing it at the top of my lungs and crying all at the same time.

Lyrics:
I wanna set the world on fire
Until it’s burning bright for You
It’s everything that I desire
Can I be the one You use?

I, I am small but
You, You are big enough
I, I am weak but
You, You are strong enough to
Take my dreams
Come and give them wings
Lord with You
There’s nothing I can not do
Nothing I can not do

I wanna feed the hungry children
And reach across the farthest land
And tell the broken there is healing
And mercy in the Father’s hands

My hands my feet
My everything
My life, my love Lord, use me

I wanna set the world on fire
I wanna set the world on fire
I’m gonna set the world on fire
Set the world on fire
