Just because we’ve been a Christian for a long time does not mean that we’re always in perfect spiritual health. In fact, the more we learn about God’s holiness through the Bible, the more we realize how much we need His grace and strength every day to lead us in His wellness" The Bible tells us that the kindness of God leads us to repentance, and repentance leads us to restoration. The reality . . .
If we all paused and looked at (or back on) our life, we most likely could see time(s) when we focused on life and not on our faith. Reba McEntire's song "Back to God" is a good one to hear and ponder.
or do you turn away when you see the face of the innocent dyin'
In these darkest days are you not afraid that it's too late
You gotta get down on your knees, believe, fold your hands and beg and plead
Gotta keep on praying, you gotta cry, rain tears of pain.
Pound the floor and scream His name 'cause we're still worth saving
Can't go on like this and live like this we can't love like this. We gotta give this world back to God.
Have you lost a love? Do you feel like givin' up? Has your heart been broken?
Are your kids okay? Will they come home safe? Do you lie there hoping?
You can make a wish, you can knock on wood oh it won't do no good
You gotta get down on your knees, believe, fold your hands and beg and plead
Gotta keep on praying, you gotta cry, rain tears of pain
Pound the floor and scream His name 'cause we're still worth saving
Can't go on like this and live like this we can't love like this. We gotta give this world back to God
You gotta get down on your knees, believe, fold your hands and beg and plead
Keep on praying, you gotta cry, rain tears of pain
Pound the floor and scream His name, 'cause we're still worth saving
Can't go on like this and live like this, we can't love like this.
You can hope the best, make a wish, the only answer is . . .
We give this world back to God, Oh, give it back.
