Hi readers!
Today I just have some food for thought.
While driving home tonight I heard a song by MercyMe called "Bring the Rain." And usually I just sing to these songs because I know all the words, but tonight I just turned it up and listened. I have to applaud MercyMe for writing such beautiful lyrics!
"And I know they'll be days when this life brings me pain, but if that's what it takes to praise you, Jesus bring the rain!"
I was awe-stricken as my mind comprehended each word. "But if that's what it takes to praise you.." What if I lived like this? Simply placing Gods will over mine. Simply pushing his glory over my fame and attention.
I would love to idealize my faith to say that I do all of this, but the words hit me so hard. So maybe this will challenge us as Christians to change our prayers from "God take this bad stuff" to "God show me how to use this to honor you!"
I hope this did something for you like it did for me! Have a wonderful start to your week!!
