He Knows...

Every now and then, I address an issue, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL).  What I'm referring to, is how music resonates within my heart and mind.

I have to admit that I need to let you know that it wasn't the whole song that was resonating within me.

The song I'm referring to, is by Eagles and is entitled, Peaceful Easy Feeling.  Here is a link for you to listen to and/or sing along:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD74t0H_mP4.  The lyrics are below.

Peaceful Easy Feeling

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay,
Against your skin, it's so brown.
And I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around.

'Cause I got a peaceful easy feeling,
And I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground.

And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul.
Oh, but she can't take you anyway,
You don't already know how to go.

And I got a peaceful easy feeling,
And I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing on the ground.

I get this feeling I may know you
As a lover and a friend.
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear,
Tells me I may never see you again.

'cause I get a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing...
I'm already standing...
Yes, I'm already standing on the ground
Oh, oh

I feel I need to tell you that the only part of the song that resonated within my heart and mind, over and over and over again, was the last part:
 
'cause I get a peaceful easy feeling
And I know you won't let me down
'cause I'm already standing...
I'm already standing...
Yes, I'm already standing on the ground
Oh, oh

You need to know that I hadn't heard that song, in many years.  Yes, I was aware of the full lyrics.  However, as I said, it was only the last part of the song that was within me for such a long time.

For a few days, I wondered why part of the lyrics were inside me, over and over.  Then, when I woke up one morning, all of a sudden I felt I knew why the lyrics were living inside me. 

For several days, I had been praying, asking God to fulfill a request I had.  I won't discuss the request here, today.  However, if it happens in the future, you'll be made aware of it.

But, I will let you know that I continuously let Him know when I was praying, that I didn't want to let Him down.  That I would do, what I let Him know I wanted to do.

Even though I don't know whether or not God will fulfill the request I made to Him in prayer, I know that He was letting me know that He had a peaceful easy feeling about what I wanted Him to do for me.

He was letting me know that I won't let Him down.  That I would do what I had suggested I wanted to do, when asking for His help.

Of course, I have no idea what will happen.

While I don't know the plan God has for my life, He does.

Just as we read, in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Yes, our Lord knows the plans He has for me.  For you.  And, for everyone.

I'm grateful that His plans are to prosper us and not harm us, to give us hope and a future.

For this, I am truly grateful.  And, always will be.

Thank You, Lord!


Until next time...
