I love music. Plain and simple. I play the radio/Pandora rather well! ;) So for the next 30 days I'm going to try my best to post a song that I heard throughout the day. Some days I'll have a chance to say a word or two about the song, and some days it'll just be a song I enjoyed and want to share with you all.
Today, as I was reading 1 Peter (my all-time favorite book of the Bible), I was reminded of WHY we should rejoice and WHY we suffer.
4to(K) an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and(L) unfading,(M) kept in heaven for you, 5who by God’s power are being guarded(N) through faith for a salvation(O) ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7so that(Q) the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes(R) though it is tested by(S) fire—may be found to result in(T) praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:4-7)
By His grace, we have an inheritance that can't perish. Eternal life with Him awaits. It simply can't get better than that! :) We should have an inexpressible joy(v.8) and rejoice always(1 Thess 5:16).
He tests the genuineness of our faith. Are we for real? Do we truly trust in His promises? And how we react to/deal with these trials and sufferings, should bring Him praise and glory. Because He deserves that much!
So the song for today is... "God in Me" by Daniel Doss Band. (Click "God in Me" to hear it!) I had never heard this song before, but it's rich. I encourage you to listen to it. The music makes the lyrics more profound I think. Good stuff.
It’s not the melody that brings me to you
It’s not even the words that burn in my heart
It’s not the wonderful sounds that cause me to sing
It is knowing you and what you’ve done in me
It’s not even the words that burn in my heart
It’s not the wonderful sounds that cause me to sing
It is knowing you and what you’ve done in me
You are the song of my life
You are the dance in my feet
You are the voice of my heart
You are God in me
You are the bread of my life
You are the life giving drink
You are the everything
You are God in me
Yeah
So I will sing my life a song to remain
And whatever I do it’s all for your fame
Because it’s your beautiful self that causes me to sing
About knowing you and what you do in me
You are the song of my life
You are the dance in my feet
You are the voice of my heart
You are God in me
You are the bread of my life
You are the life giving drink
You are the everything
You are God in me
Yeah me in you
And you in me
I will never stop knowing the joy that you bring
And me in you
And you in me
I will never stop tasting, tasting your goodness
Oh your goodness
Oh You are the song of my life
You are the dance in my feet
You are the voice of my heart
You are God in me
Oh You are the bread of my life
You are the life giving drink yeah
You are the everything
You are God in me
Yeah Yeah Yeah
