The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine,
will be forever mine
You are forever mine...
I was struck by the lyrics to this song, my auntie Mary picked this song out for Grandma's funeral a few weeks back...
The words have rung in my ears all morning.
Not on a morbid sense, but the fact that how often do really stop and think...
THIS WORLD IS GOING TO DISSOLVE LIKE SNOW.
it's a really good word picture of the inevitable ending of this life..and the prayers are that you have chosen Christ as your leader throughout this life, so that when the world does dissolve, you will not dissolve with it.
"For the lips of the adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil, but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double edged sword. Her feet go down to death, her steps lead straight to the grave. SHE GIVES NO THOUGHT TO THE WAY OF LIFE, HER PATHS ARE CROOKED, BUT SHE KNOWS IT NOT." -Proverbs 5:2-6
The reason that verse struck me today as i came across it my daily reading, was this, the adulteress spoken of here can come in many different forms, she is not just a lusty woman of ancient times. She can come in the form of anything that captivates us enough to pull us away from Christ. And that she gives no thought to that paths OF THIS LIFE.
So, i stopped and thought, what are the adulteresses in my life? And then, to sum it up, with great conviction, comes great forgiveness. so whatever those adulteresses are, and as i recognize them for WHAT they are, i can lay them down before the foot of the cross knowing that my God my savior has forgiven me, and set me free.
My chains are gone,
I've been set Free
My God my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace.
Amazing Grace. How sweet the sound. You are forever mine.
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine,
will be forever mine
You are forever mine...
