Faithfulness



It is amazing how powerful literature has shown itself to be
to
me this semester. It reminds me of when I was buying a car.

When you are in the “car buying mood” you notice cars more

than on a regular occasion. It is this same way with Literature.

I was touched this morning in chapel when they sang a song I
have never heard before. Yes, there is literature even in music
and song,
and/ or music can spark your memory about a piece
of literature.
I was meditating this morning when I was touched
by the words in this song called
You Are Faithful by Jesus
Culture. I posted the song on the blog so you could
experience
this song for yourself. The song said this:

My hearts aches for you my God

My soul waits for you my God
I’ve come far to find you here

In this place will I draw near

And your spirit soars with me

To the highest heights

From w
here I’ll not look back
I’ll keep trusting you
For I know You are faithful My God

I was instantly reminded of the play that we have been reading
in class
called Waiting For Godot and the silly inconsistencies
that
the story consists of. When I read the play I was thinking
how easy it is
for our lives to become filled with repetition and
apathy.
We over-schedule, over work, under-sleep, and develop
less
than healthy habits. Although when you get into a suitable
schedule
how could not become a part of it? We work our entire
lives in schools to
get to a place to work for the rest of our lives.
This blog may seem like
negative but there is hope. He is hope.
Writing this blog I can feel my spirit
getting excited; even my eyes
are wanting to water at how great he is.
The song just reassured that
no matter how I feel or what I do that my
God will always be faithful
to me, especially in a completely
unstable and unfaithful world. He
does not use useless repetitions
or toil about with inconsistencies or even
fill your heart with false hope.
He is faithful. He is true. He is
everything I could need.

I will leave you with this:

(This is also a sing they played this morning)


“Jesus you are all I need, you
are more than enough for me”.

I agree, Kaylee. Studying literature makes you notice it more often. For me it is like when I study biology; now that I have a better understanding of how, say, cancer spreads and why it is so deadly, I notice the mention of cancer a lot more now.

The music you posted is great! It's nice to see how literature can help us see the beauty in other things.
