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.
