“You are my
strength when I am weak, You are the treasure that I seek,
You are my all in all.
Seeking You as a precious jewel, Lord, to give up I'd be a fool,
You are my all in all.
“Jesus, Lamb of
God, Worthy is Your name.
Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your name.”
Dennis Jernigan, the writer of this song, prefers not to
think of himself as a songwriter, but rather as a "song receiver."
Zephaniah 3:17 is a verse he takes with practical seriousness, that God sings
over him; so, when Dennis is singing, he believes that the Divine joins in -- a
voice with a message that has his attention.
“The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty
Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in His love He will
no longer rebuke you but will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah
3:17
Those of us who write can relate to his comment. Whether
it’s a topic to write about or words to write on a topic, I ask God to bring
words to my mind, and I believe God gives me what I need to get a note or an
article written. It’s happened too many times for me to think I just thought of
something to write.
God is our “All in All.” He has, or should have,
total control over you because this is your desire. You have given Him
everything so He can and will direct your life until He calls you home. The
words also mean He is supreme over all things. Not just you.
Bibleref.com: “God will be ‘All in All.’ In other words, God's glory will reign supreme over the entire universe.”
Studylight.org, Contending for the Faith: “The purpose of
Christ’s becoming subject to God the Father is that God may be ‘All in All,’
meaning ‘God will be everything to everyone,’ including Christ. The expression,
‘be All in All,’ signifies primarily absolute supremacy or rule.”
Worthy is His Name! Let Him be your All in All!
By His Grace . . .
