i have a new favorite song. surprise, surprise.but seriously? this little ditty by the david crowder band (oh, the glory of it all) is pretty phenomenal. the lyrics are incredible...incredibly true. all i know is that it is speakin' my soul language these days.
check out the lyrics & the song here.
it can also be purchased on itunes - look for it on the second Passion 07 CD. it is highly recommended by moi.
oh, and the photo up top? i snapped that one on campus a few weeks ago. i discovered the tiny foam heart glued to the tree. i liked it. there you go.
in other news...
i have started an intensive study on the Book of Job this morning. i don't believe i have ever read Job beginning to end...let alone with a few study materials and Matthew Henry's concise Bible commentary.
phew.
i'm drawn to the book for personal reasons (i find myself in a small forest of wilderness these days)...but i am diving into this piece of wisdom literature on behalf of other Jobs in my life. i want to speak the Truth of God's goodness to those in my company who are questioning His goodness and presence in the midst of suffering and pain.
i stand upon His promises and i want to pull others onto that Rock of Truth with me...to stand firm and secure in His grace and love. this is not such an easy task. but if Job can come out praising God in the midst of intense personal anguish, surely we can persevere.
righteous sufferers must trust in, acknowledge, serve and submit to the omniscient and omnipotent Sovereign, realizing that some suffering is the result of the unseen, spiritual conflicts between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan -- between the kingdom of light and the kindgom of darkness (Ephesians 6:10-18).
i'm ready to fight.
who's with me?
