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...

Why Being UNcool Is the New Cool

  Why Being UNcool Is the New Cool By Ava Grace  To quote Leanna Crawford's song 'Uncool' will be the start of this post. She sings: If its uncool to say that I love Jesus If its uncool to sing about my freedom Then I'm cool being uncool If its uncool to tell the world Who saved me I don't care if they call me crazy  'Cause I'm cool being uncool In this song, Leanna explains the importance of going against the crowd; not blending in with all the popular kids. Because in reality, being cool and popular has no eternal reward. But having Jesus - and sharing our faith - does.  When we deny our true faith-driven selves and start blending in with the crowd, we are going to feel hollow and empty. Because being the most popular kid at school is not going to get us anywhere. Sure, we might be looked up to, but for the wrong reasons.  As Christians, we want to be looked up for a different sort of popularity, though these days, being a Christi...
