There Is Reason

I told my D-Group leader to ask me a question last semester, "Do you remember the promises of God?" She asked me tonight.

I said, "um... I guess so." How is that we can so easily forget that our God has made us promises?

The sweet, sweet promises that say He will be our God & we will be His people. He will be our Father & we will be called His sons and daughters. This should spur us on to purity.. and it does. But we have to remember the promises in order to understand what in our life needs to be different in order to line up with the promises and what God wants for us. (I am speaking to myself mostly.. the 'us' & 'we' is just easier...)

So I actually started studying for my ECON class, recopied my notes (that never happens) and was ready to read for the class and a song played on my Iphone. It is called "There Is Reason" by Caedemon's Call. And it spoke wonders to me. It was the song that reminded me of the promises of God. Those promises that make your heart beat faster and make the day worth living - and not only that.. but living it and noticing the joyous things God put in our lives. The beauty that He is... is all around. And a simple song reminded me of that tonight.. (I just love it when that happens!!)

So.. I am not sure who needs to be reminded that God is fro us.. but here are the lyrics for the song.

Late at night I wonder why, sometimes I wonder why. sometimes I'm so tired I don't even try. Seems everything around me fails but I hold onto the promise that there is a reason. Late at night darkness makes it hard to see the history of the saints who've gone in front of me through famine, plague and disbelief His hand was still upon them because there is reason.

He makes all things good. There's a time to live and a time to die. A time for wonder and to wonder why. There is reason.

I believe in a God who sent His Holy Son to walk upon this earth and give His life for us. With blood and tears and a long dark night you know that He believed there is reason.

He makes all things good.

A time to live and a time to die. A time for wonder and to wonder why. There is reason.

For the lonely nights... and the broken hearts... the widow's might... and the rich man's hand...and the continent whose blood becomes a traitor... the child afraid to close their eyes... and the prayers that seem unanswered.. There is reason. He makes all things good.

Thank you, Jesus for this simple blessing.
