Wishing and Hoping and Thinking and Praying

...which brought to the forefront of my mind this song from camp we used to sing around the campfire. I always took so much from these words, as we'd typically sing them on the last night of a session. It spoke to my position as a very blatant servant, teaching children about Christ's love and what it means to trust in God and have faith.

"Lord, I Want To Know Your Vision"

Lord, I want to know your vision,

Though I'm in a foreign land

Give me heartache for the hungry

And the grace to understand.

Lead me to the ones who suffer,

Those whose hearts cannot find rest.

Lord, I want to know your vision.

Put me where I can serve best.

Take my life as a sacrifice.

Let me see your good deeds.

Humble me as I serve thee.

May the glory be yours...

"Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding; he reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. To you, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, for you have given me wisdom and might, and have now made known to me what we asked of you, for you have made known to us the king's matter." -Daniel 2: 20-23
