Honest

I'm sitting here in this youth camp just taking in the worship services this week and honestly just soaking it in. Yeah I'm not paying attention to the speaker because I wanted to type this out as it was fresh on my mind.

Worship is a lifestyle I've talked about it before. Worship, the music, the lyrics is an expression of worship but it is also a message. We can sing and speak the words and have no idea what were talking about.

Two songs that have stuck me are Mighty To Save and You Are Sovereign Here. The first the title says it all. Christ came to this earth to save the unrighteous into righteousness. 1 Peter 3:18. Unrighteous there is no one righteous. There is someone on your mind right now that you think it is impossible for them to be saved. The person I think of is my brother. He wants nothing to do with God. He could care less. He is unrighteous. BUT God is mighty to save. He came down to save him and he can and will do it regardless the state of his unrighteousness. I was blown away. Somewhere along the line I put him out of the realm of possibility of the reach of God's grace and righteousness, that same grace that is extended to me and I definitely don't deserve it.

Secondly is the song you are sovereign here. Stephen Miller wrote it and it's lyrics are amazing truth. In the midst of unrest and in the midst of your world falling apart he is in control. At the same time when. The sun is shining, the breeze is blowing and life is amazing. God is in control. HE is sovereign here.

No life won't go the way you want it. It won't be easy most of the time. The health and wealth message that is given most of the time along side Christianity is total bunk. Sin came in and ruined perfection. So were spinning our wheels most of the time to just make ends meet and stay on track with God. We can not do anything to fix it. Life got broken a long time ago so of course it's going to suck big ones. But in the midst of that HE is sovereign here. He is in control even though it seems like were crashing and burning. How can he allow it? Why would a good God allow such pain sin and death? It's because of the original sin of man. Adam broke off that communication with God and it's been a down hill go since then. God sent Jesus to bridge the gap. Not as a quick fix or a pick me up but as a promise of eternal life with him. So it's gonna be rough until the day He comes back to claim us, but he is sovereign here. He is in control and Mighty To Save.
