One of my favorite things about mission trips is worshiping in other languages. I love it because even if I don't know what I'm saying, I know that it's good and glorifying to God.
When I went to Slovenia in May we had many opportunities to worship in Slovene. It was especially great because they sang many songs that I know in English so I was able to understand the meaning of the words. One song we sang was "Healer" by Hillsong. There's a bridge in that song that says "I trust in you." In Slovene it goes "Zaupam ti"
That phrase was beautiful to me so I wrote it down. Now it's become a sort of mantra that I'll pray to remind myself of truth.
"God things are really hard right now but zaupam ti." "God I don't understand what you're doing but zaupam ti." "God I'm terrified of what's going to happen but zaupam ti."
I've said this in many of my recent posts, but I'm in a season right now that is incredibly challenging. There are many days when I just want to turn my back on God and do things my own way. But I can't do that because I know the truth about God. I know that God is always good. I know that God is in control. And I know that God is worthy of my trust because even when I am faithless, he remains faithful (2 Timothy 2:13).
That's what I'm learning right now. I'm learning about God's faithfulness even in the midst of my darkness. I'm learning how to trust him even when I'm angry at him or when I'm hurting. I'm learning how to tell him "zaupam ti" in every circumstance.
