I grew up listening to saccharine love songs
I never knew the one I should have been singing to was you
Nobody ever told me the gospel
Or if they did I didn’t want to listen
Getting drunk or high on drugs. Trying to find the place, where it was always going on.
I was always looking for fun till I got so unwell that my body told me, no more fun.
Then it was all about looking for healing,
sitting cross-legged in the lotus position
the devil played a trick telling us we could
heal self with self
I didn’t know that it was all a dark journey into the underworld and that real contentment would come from praising and worshipping you.
The God who led the Israelites out of Egypt hidden in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
That God is hidden and woven into all of creation
And yet we scoffed and ridiculed and believed cool people don’t believe in God
Well the devil had a laugh with that one spinning his web of lies, gathering followers as people turned away from God
But the last laugh is on him because people are turning back
The truth-seekers, those who humble themselves to find that all that glitters is not Gold and the shiny alluring stuff is lies
And just as God elevates the meek and humble you will find his truth in a book with a very unassuming cover. No pictures or shiny tricks to lure you in.
Just The Word.
