Romans 8:28 We know
that God works all things together for good for the ones who love God, for
those who are called according to his purpose.
The other morning as I was jogging and listening to a favorite
playlist one of my ear buds fell out. I noticed that the volume didn’t just get
softer, I was actually hearing only part of the music tracks. I remember when stereo was first starting to
become popular. It was somewhat disconcerting to have music coming at me from
different locations. I had to warm up to
the idea.
A few years back we purchased a pre-owned BMW that came with
the premium sound system. There were high quality speakers everywhere. I really enjoyed listening to music in that
surround sound environment. When it comes to my faith, I want to live in stereo
or even better surround sound. I want
all the blessings available-- faith, hope, love, prayer, service, spiritual
knowledge and many more. To be halfway Christians instead of letting our faith
permeate our life, setting our priorities is like me running through the park
and hearing music with only one ear bud. It just isn’t availing ourselves of
the full experience.
Blessed God, we find joy as we grow in our faith and our commitment
to make it the guiding force in our life. At the same time keep us from being
single-minded and be open to learning new things from scripture and how they
might inform our lives in this century.
We ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Happy Friday!
