We Can Face Today- And Tomorrow

 We Can Face Today- And Tomorrow

By Ava Grace 

We have a hope that millions of people do not have. Why? Why can't everyone experience this fantastic, everlasting peace? The answer is simple: they do not know Christ, and we do. 

Today's song is Because He Lives (Amen) by Matt Maher, and the chorus goes as such:

Amen, Amen
I'm alive, I'm alive
Because He lives
Amen, Amen
Let my song join the one that never ends
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
Every fear is gone
I know He holds my life, my future
In His hands

Let's unpack these words that simply explain why we don't have to fear today- and why we can face tomorrow, shall we? 

First off, we are alive because He lives. If He were dead, if He did not exist, we would not be on this planet. But why are we on this planet? The New City Catechism puts it like this: We are to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. By being faithful in Him that He will help us through our day, we are glorifying Him. By acknowledging that He is the Creator of the universe, the One Who put every star in the sky, the One Who knows your name, we are glorifying Him. 

Secondly, we know we can face the unknown, the days ahead, because where we have weakness, He has His strength. And do not let your mind wander to the possibility that where we have strength, He has weakness. No. Our strength only comes from HIs awesome and everlasting power that He gives to those who believe in Him. 

We do not have to fear death. We do not have to fear the unknown. We do not have to fear for our weakening relatives. Because we believe in Him. He holds every life and future in His hands. He knows our unknowns. He comforts all our fears. He gives supernatural wisdom to those who ask for it in complete faith. 

And He knows your - YOUR - name. The God that holds the whole world together cares about you. You are not just some nobody from so-and-so street. You matter to God. And other people care about you too. Just have faith and believe that He is the Creator and Savior of the entire universe.

    Yes! We have the peace for today and power for tomorrow that everyone is looking for. Anything less than Christ and His work in us is a massively inferior substitute!

He Never Lets Go

He Never Lets Go By Ava Grace  Oh no, You never let go Through the calm and through the storm  Oh no, You never let go Every high and every low  Oh no, You never let go Lord You never let go of me And I can see the light that is coming For the heart that holds on A glorious light beyond all compare And there will be an end to all these troubles  But until that day comes  We'll live to know You're here on the earth Cause I will fear no evil For my God is with me  These glorious words come to us from the song You Never Let Go by AJ Michalka and James Denton.  Why should we fear? What do we have to fear? Why are we afraid? We should never be afraid, because we know that God is with us. He is for us. He will never leave us. He will never forsake us.  This is just one of the great things of belonging to a God as awesome as ours is. He bought us with the blood of His Son, and all we have to do is believe and have faith that He is our Redeemer.  Yes...

Through Him We Have Strength

 Through Him We Have Strength By Ava Grace  Our strength comes not from us, but from the One Who created us. We have no power in this world. We are weak men with weak souls. Nothing that we do comes from our own strength, but from Him. The song Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me, by City Alight goes like this: What gift of grace is Jesus my Redeemer There is no more for heaven now to give He is my Joy, my Righteousness and Freedom My steadfast Love, my deep and boundless Peace To this I hold, my Hope is only Jesus For my life is wholly bound to His Oh how strange and divine I can sing all is mine Yet not I but through Christ in me This first verse and chorus tells us that nothing that we could possibly do comes from us. Yes, we might say we do great things, but is this from our own accord? Surely not! All the strength that we might ever have comes from the only One Who can give it to us.  We do not save souls; we merely make known the saving ...
