I was reading some of the tweets the other day and I can across the following quote:
Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. In other words, He's all over this week already.
I had to laugh a little bit, because we may be having the worst week ever, but here's a little secret... He's already been there and He's going to see that you make it through.
I'm going a little old school with my thoughts this morning... but as I read this quote, the song The Great Adventure by Stephen Curtis Chapman came to mind. I loved this album when I was younger, but the words are really great... we may not know what is ahead... but God's already been there... and if we let Him, he'll take us on a great adventure of our own!
Started out this morning in the usual way
Chasing thoughts inside my head of all I had to do today
Another time around the circle try to make it better than the last
I opened up the Bible and I read about me
Said I'd been a prisoner and God's grace had set me free
And somewhere between the pages it hit me like a lightning bolt
I saw a big frontier in front of me and I heard somebody say "let's go"!
CHORUS
Saddle up your horses we've got a trail to blaze
Through the wild blue yonder of God's amazing grace
Let's follow our leader into the glorious unknown
This is a life like no other - this is The Great Adventure
Come on get ready for the ride of your life
Gonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behind
And discover all the new horizons just waiting to be explored
This is what we were created for
(Chorus)
BRIDGE
We'll travel over, over mountains so high
We'll go through valleys below
Still through it all we'll find that
This is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever see
The love of God will take us far beyond our wildest dreams
Yeah... oh saddle up your horses... come on get ready to ride
(Chorus)
Enjoy this glorious day that God has given you, don't worry about what's around the corner... If you stick with God, He'll guide you through.
A friend of ours was once teaching Sunday school and was talking about prayer. She presented an interesting thought. Since God is outside of the constraints of time...then we can retroactively pray. Obviously we should not purposely do this...but of we find ourselves wishing we could have prayed about something, then we should go ahead and pray for it now. I'm not suggesting that it will change history, but it might still be effective, and it definitely means some thing to God.
ReplyDeleteOutside the constraints of time... that's really hard to wrap your mind around sometimes... especially when we are in time, always moving forward with no way to go back. We tend to think of God the same way sometimes.... we forget that He is God, and what he is capable of.... I know I do.
