Godliness and Great Gain

Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones;
Above all wonders the world has ever known.
You took the fall, and thought of me
Above all.
MICHAEL W. SMITH, Above all

Sometimes we hit a point in life when there seem to be so many decisions to make. And it isn't so much the difficulty of each individual choice; but the feeling of being overwhelmed, the troubling sense of the unknown, these things make me want to find someone to rely on.

And while it might seem cliché to say that God fixes everything, the truth is that this doesn't have to be a belief we delude ourselves with. Christianity isn't supposed to be systematic delusion, or the suspension of knowledge for something unknown. Instead, it is intensely real; intensely personal; and while the circumstances may persist, the perspective radically changes, and the issues become non-issues.

God has a value well above all. And the amazing thing is that He values us too.
