You Come from Mozambique

Just because I don't know all the words to a song doesn't stop me from belting out what I think they are at the top of my lungs. Although occasionally I do have to stop and question why something doesn't quite make sense. This was the case with the song 'Everlasting God' by Lincoln Brewster. For a time, I was singing "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord...You're the defender of the weak, You come from Mozambique". Stop. What? That doesn't make a bit of sense, the Lord doesn't come from Mozambique. That's when I had to google the lyrics and it all made sense "You comfort those in need."

Being the mother of a two year old, I often find myself interpreting what Caleb is saying. One of my favorites as of late is when he says "baby soup" he is referring to his bathing suit. Of course, I do become frustrated when I cannot interpret his words for myself. Every day his speech becomes a little clearer and his vocabulary continues to grow.

As a child of God, I imagine this is how my prayers sound to my Father. Fortunately, I have the Holy Spirit to interpret my mumbles and sentence fragments. Every day my relationship grows with the Lord and as I get to know Him everything becomes a little clearer.
