"Blind my eyes, help me see.
 Bind my hands, set me free."

Yeah, there was just no way I could go even two days without using lyrics of some sort. These lyrics have helped me put so much into perspective lately. To be quite honest with you guys, things haven't exactly been going the way I would want them to in my life. It seems now for the past few weeks or so, almost nothing goes the way I want. But my responsibility is to trust and be okay with whatever God is doing in my life. Check out that first line: Blind my eyes, help me see. It's so awesome the way that is worded. We, as humans, are so focused on what we want for our lives and not what God wants. We're so concerned about the here and now that we can't see how He is strategically planning our life. We can't see the work he is doing in us because we are too concerned with the way we want things. If we blind our eyes to this world and the things that don't go our way, we will see what God is doing. For me, trusting God is one of the absolute hardest things to achieve. I see how much is going wrong in my life and I want to change it. I don't know if you guys struggle with this, but I do question whether God knows best for my life. In fact, I am the one living it. But then I think about how ridiculous that sounds. He created me! He knows what's best for me!

Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; 

The next line of the song is pretty self explanatory. Again, I just love the way they word the whole thing. Bind my hands, set me free. That's awesome. Its not speaking plainly of what we hold in our hands(in some cases it could), but it's more of the sin we hold on to. We know it's not good for us, yet we have the hardest time letting it go. Bind my hands(keep me from sinning), set me free. Sometimes we get way too attached to the sin in our lives. It begins to control us and separates us from God. When this happens, the only way to remove that sin is to bind our hands(resist sin with the help of God). We hold on to so much that keeps us from God. He desires us to be close to him. When our hands are bound, we are unable to hold the sin we use to; therefore, setting us free.

Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him , that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin;

If any of you were wondering, the song is called Red Letters and it's by Fallstar.
