Weekend Words & Sunday Stanzas – 10/13/2013
Here is your reminder to get on over to Proverbial Thought for some daily wisdom!
Perhaps you have heard that time happens in cycles. Everyone goes through cycles. The earth goes through cycles. Our lives go through cycles. The writer of Ecclesiastes pointed this out 3000 years ago (and chapter 3 was made into a song by “The Byrds” in 1965!)
One of the cycles that is evident throughout history is God doing something amazing, people glorifying Him, and then people falling away from God. This happens in many ways, and the most prevalent in the past 2000 years is focusing too much on rules and regulations within the Church/Judaism.
Therefore, we must always go back to the beginning: GOD. In Jesus Christ, the firstfruits of the new righteousness (1 Corinthians 15), we always have a fresh start. May we seek Him first and always.
there is a new thing
God is doing something new
He is going back to the beginning
starting with what looks old
God is sick of the religion
that proliferates His Body
the new thing now needs to come
to bring us back to God
it is time to abandon
everything that gets in the way
it is time to turn to the Son
and His grace and peace
