The Hits Of Our Lives
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
Sometimes songs start with a simple idea and then outgrow it. Trying to turn it into something it’s not. Causing the original idea to be completely lost and the song becomes something new.
Sometimes that can be a good thing. But have you ever stopped to think about all the songs that are gone? How many simple little choruses that you have never heard and never turned into the biggest hits. And how bad were some of them, that never became anything.
An example could be Mighty To Save, what if It started out all about God singing over us?
How bad are the starts of our lives? How far do all of us still have to improve before we share our dark moments with others? We are always striving to show only our “hits”, our greatest acts.
Isaiah 64:6
We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds
are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our
iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
We have so far to go that we will never get there. On our best day we are dirt. And yet God kept the promise to save us. He sees the filth and He is filled with disgust. But His love is so strong that he did what it takes to see us as clean, so that we can be with Him.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing;
it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
