Out Of The Blue
At some point, we might be caught off guard by the unexpected decisions of someone close to us. This song tells the story of someone realizing their chance at a relationship is slipping away as the other person prepares to move, possibly for good. Once the news sinks in, they rush to see them one last time before it’s too late.
The Real Thing
There are times when our needs feel so overwhelming that even we (ourselves) can’t even begin to imagine a way out. Regardless of knowing that God is all-powerful and has no limits, we often rely on our own logic and understanding. Yet, God always has the final say. When He steps in with a miraculous solution, sometimes it is easier to dismiss it as “coincidence” or “luck” rather than recognizing it as the divine miracle it truly is.
Many people find it easier to believe in a simple magic trick than in the possibility of a miracle. Some are conditioned to trust only what can be physically “proven,” while the very foundation of Christianity is built entirely on faith.
“Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
John 20:29
Better Than Life
Psalm 63:3-4
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.
I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.
Psalm 28:7
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.
Psalm 145:1
I will exalt you, my God the King;
I will praise your name for ever and ever.
Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed;
save me and I will be saved,
for you are the one I praise.
Another Day
Sometimes it’s easy to get stuck in the “poor me” mentality and ask yourself repeatedly, “WHY ME???” God told us in the bible that the world would come against us if we are living in His will, because the “world” only cares about the “world.” The goals and aspirations of people might be drastically different from those living in His will.
2 Corinthians 7-9
7.) But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8.) We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9.) persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
Damaged
In a beautiful scene from the TV show The Chosen, Mary Magdalene stands before Jesus and simply says, “You redeemed me, and I just threw it all away” (as if any of us can remain unchanged or unaffected by anything in the world). Earlier, she tells Matthew, “…He already fixed me once…and I broke again.” We cannot live with the mindset that God expects anything from us other than a willingness to give Him our heart. That’s it. He knows we are imperfect, and as the hymn states, “morning by morning new mercies I see.”
No one is ever too far to be forgiven and redeemed. The same shame that Adam and Eve felt in the garden is a result of our conscience and realization that we are indeed sinners. We may feel we are “damaged” beyond repair, but realizing we need God in order to face seemingly insurmountable circumstances is truly the first step in humility!
