Being is the Doing

One of the most powerful moments in the Broken & Complete concert comes during the song, Psalm 91, danced above by Linda Wells and Anna King at the CD Release last September.  

This truth: that we are held in the Father's hands under the Shadow of His Wings, is not a platitude.  It is rather a critical key in our identity as Children of God - that nothing that happens to us escapes His notice, and that even the worst that can happen, it only happens if He allows it. IF we truly believe Who He Is, and His promises for us, and His character of Faithfulness, then to complain is to rail against the Sovereignty of God.  Not a good place to be, in light of who we really are!

No, we rather find the deepest peace, the finest solace, the cure to all anxiety - in embracing our identity, our calling, and our present/future in Him.  That we are His, that we already are citizens of heaven, and that He is in control of our lives and our destiny, means we do not need to strive - everything we should want and need is already provided in Him.  We must abide in this:  that 'being' who we are in Christ is the 'doing', and all 'doing' flows from the peace found in the 'being'.

Here are the lyrics:

Psalm 91

Dwelling in the secret place I'm wrapped in the salvation of Your wings

Almighty, Holy One

My Lord, My God, my habitation, Your truth is my deliverance and my shield

In You I put my trust

Breathe in me your words of grace and hold me in divine embraces

Shelter me in Your unfailing love . . . Forever I am yours

Abiding in Your heart of refuge, hidden in Your fortress I am safe

From evil's fear and terror

For You have set Your love upon me - You have known and 

You have called my name

-

You take me as your own

Breathe in me your words of grace and hold me in divine embraces

Shelter me in Your unfailing love . . . forever . . . Father

Pour into my deepest places, fill me with the Highest Praises

Draw me to your heart and hold me close . . . Forever I am yours

You are everything I want, and everything I need

You hold me in your hand, You crush the enemy

You are everything I want, and everything I need

You hold my heart's desire, in the shadow of Your wings
