I was just thinking about a song written by one of my favorite artists, David Wilcox. The song is titled "Start With The Ending". If you'd like to see Dave play it it you can hit the link below. It's a bit long, but entertaining, funny, and pretty insightful. Enjoy.
Not to belabor the point on an already long (if you watched the video) blog, but this whole concept of getting the ending, either death or divorce or whatever over with...so now you can go on with your life or marriage without all the pressure, while ludicrous, is sort of simplistic and kind of nice. The kind of thought a child would think. And exactly what God did for us. Once we're His, that's it. We're dead to ourselves and alive to Christ. Forever. Now we can get on with life, free to walk, to stumble, to fall and to get back up. Free to try and fail, over and over. and get back up. Free to mess up as we walk along in His grace. Never to worry about losing His favor, His love, His acceptance. Ever. I think I forget about this way too much. My old pastor once said that the Christian life was one of constantly being crushed, and getting back up. Since we're doing a song-themed blog, here's a perfect song if you're crushed right now and need some help getting back up. My kids love this song. I love that they love it. Get Back Up by Toby Mac
