Song/Lyric of the Day
Time seems to be this constant companion that we misunderstand so badly that we fail to realize that it can’t contain the scope of our existence. We base our idea of life on the amount of time we assume or hope that we have on this planet. We make choices based on how long we think it will take for them to work out and accomplish what we imagine. We gauge the entirety of life upon something made rather than the Maker of it.
In truth, these lives are fleeting. And while that is understandably terrifying to those who see life as a collection of years on a mound of dirt, it’s a joy to those who learn to see beyond what our eyes can glimpse. To those found in Christ, the temporal reality of time unleashes this hope that one day soon we’ll leave behind all the woes and pains of this momentary life in exchange for the finally fulfillment of a promise that doesn’t expire.
God defines time, and He also defines life. Us trying to define either using the other is simply a waste, a distraction, another root planted in something passing, and ultimately a missed opportunity to seek the One who set this all in motion. If we only knew how many grains or sand we had, we’d like stop counting them and instead begin seeking the One who placed them in the hourglass we assume life to be.
Love this post, love this song and totally agree keep at it. Tommorrow is close at hand.
ReplyDeleteThank you and amen!! Such an amazing song! All we can do is keep going, we have no reason to stop!
DeleteI like this new song feature.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have so many ideas of songs to share! Just one more way to share a little bit of encouragement!
DeleteOk I really like Need To Breathe and very good post. Makes me think about if i am trying to ask for change or if I am trying to change things.
ReplyDeleteMe too, so many awesome songs. I think about that all the time myself. I can't just ask God to help me and then sit around waiting for Him to get it all done for me. Actually doing something will do far more than thinking about it.
DeleteAnother good post and good song. He is greater than I and I should wanted to be more like him.
ReplyDeleteWe all should! If we all were then this would be a seriously nice place!!
DeleteGood message. Good song and great artists. Let it go, Let go and let God.
ReplyDeleteAmen and thank you! Anything we get rid of that helps us move closer to God is never going to be missed!
DeleteWe have no idea of the things that he is doing for us at any moment. Just trust that it is all figured out and we never will be alone.
ReplyDeleteAmen! He's always working and we can always count on that!!
DeleteAmen. Go all in.
ReplyDeleteYep, only way to go!
DeleteWe would be able to get anywhere without him. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Father for for loving us so much.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Can't begin to imagine how jacked up I would be without Him, and don't want to!
DeleteVery good lyrics. Can't hid from stuff so the only thing to do is let it go and walk on.
ReplyDeleteYep, if it's hidden it's still there we just can't see it as easily. But getting rid of it means it's gone and can't trip us up anymore!
DeleteHe already knows it anyway.
ReplyDeleteYep, may as well move forward to something better.
DeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteAnd he will always fulfill his promise to us.
ReplyDeleteYep, we each have a story we've lived with countless evidence of that!
DeleteIf it is one thing we do, how imprtant is it.
ReplyDeleteWe could not possibly earn it anyway. Be glad and be thankful that we are his children and that Jesus paid for our sins. We have a home in Heaven and it's not because of the wonderful things we did.
ReplyDeleteNope, if it were up to us nobody would make it in! Thankfully it's a gift that we've been given!
DeleteWell put. We like to know everything but we do not need to. We need to trust, we need to have faith and we can trust our Father.
ReplyDeleteYep, that's the whole point of faith. It's learning to trust in someone other than ourselves. And when that someone is God, then we're better off anyway!
DeleteHave not heard this one but sounds like it would be a Crowder song. Good message, we forget or maybe don't understand who we are. We are a child of God and not built on fear.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorites of his! Gotta give it a listen! We have to stop seeing ourselves through a worldly perspective and remember that we're a part of something bigger than that!
DeleteWe all go through things to make us into who we are meant to be. But yeah if we can help someone else we should try. Be his soldiers.
ReplyDeleteExactly, well said!! Our stories can always help more than just us! We can and should help others, because if we all do, then we'll all be better!
DeleteGood post. We are not here for the world. We are a child of God and we are here to tell the world about him and our Savior.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! That's seriously what it's all about!
DeleteReminds me of the pictures of a lion on them and we are stronger than we know. Stand up and know that we have lots of strength behind us.
ReplyDeleteAmen, we sure do! It's easy to forget that, but we'd be far better off if we never did!
DeleteYou never ask for help, you never have to trust if everyday is perfect.
ReplyDeleteExactly! We need the hard times to help us learn where our trust needs to be. And it's in someone far stronger than us!
DeleteGive him our whole hearts and let him lead us in the right direction.
DeleteAmen! He's the only one that knows the best way and right path. Always
DeleteWhen our fear meets our faith. Two opposites and they will definatley meet. Know that we never walk alone and our Savior and Father is with us.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Faith will always be more powerful because it isn't dependent upon us, it's built on God! And knowing that He will never leave us is all we need to have hope and peace in life!
DeleteEvery day is a gift, every breath is a gift. Never take anything for granted and always be thankful. He gives us everything we need.
ReplyDeleteWell said!! It really is incredible how good He is to us. Something to be thankful for every single day!
DeleteI have heard this one. No matter what happens in this life, God wins. His will be done and we have a home in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteAmen! It might not be an easy road there, but the destination remains the same. That's all we need to have hope through the hard times!
DeleteI like Skillet. This is not how the world was supposed to be but he is still God and he will not change.
ReplyDeleteMe too, they're easily my favorite band these days! It really is sad just how far we've fallen, but if anything, it helps us see just how badly we need to walk with Him!
DeleteGood point. No need to be loud when you are speaking the truth.
ReplyDeleteNope, it has more than enough power already!
DeleteWe are the child of God.
ReplyDeleteYes we are, the only title that will ever matter!
DeleteHe is with us through everything we go through. No need to fear. Have faith instead.
DeleteAmen! Fear only leads to regret over choices we should have made. But faith will lead us through those choices and help us find the blessings on the other side!
DeleteWe all have a purpose and he makes the ability.
DeleteYes He does, a promise that He will always uphold if we just remain willing to trust!
