I am really thankful this weekend of Easter to remember the truth…that
God is the God of this city
He’s the King of these people
He’s the Lord of this nation
He’s the Light in this darkness
He’s the Hope to the hopeless
He’s the Peace to the restless
I am grateful that there is no one like our God;
and that greater things have yet to come
greater things are still to be done here.(Thank you Chris Tomlin for the lyrics I’ve used here from “God of this City”)
I need to remember the Truth we have. My faith is small and I’m very forgetful. I’m thankful that He’s given us His Word, He’s given lyricists songs to embed in our memory, and he’s given us holidays, like Easter, to take time out and reflect on specific events like the resurrection to remember His goodness. My memory is very bad, and He knows I need these helps to remember where my hope comes from. It’s too easy to get caught up and bogged down by disappointments here. I know God has more for me. More for my family. More for His people, and for the world.
Oh, and I like that Easter has spring flowers, pretty dresses, bunnies, and Easter egg hunts, but I’m glad that’s not at ALL what it’s about….that’s just fluff. The REAL story is riveting and unbelievably good.
