….Everyday, you save my life
“Sometimes I swear I don’t know if I’m coming or going
But you always say something without even knowing
That I’m hanging on to your words
With all my might and it’s alright
Yeah, I’m alright for one more night.”
-Rascal Flatts, Everyday
The first time I heard this song, I immediately fell in love with it. One day as I was sitting in the car, it came on. As I intently listened to the lyrics, I could not help but think that this song reminded me of God. There are times where I feel like no one knows what I am going through. I turn to the Bible for guidance and realize that I am not alone. God is always there for me.
His words are always uplifting and comforting. He loves every one of us and understands everything we are going through. Whether it be a break up or just fitting in, it is not easy. We have ups and downs in our life and sometimes hearing a story or a song can help you realize that God is with you always.
I am reading a book right now called, When God Winks at You. It is a book full of stories about when people are down and God surprised them by sending a “God-wink” their way. It served to remind them how lucky they really are. I absolutely love the stories and can’t help but watch and wait for my own Godwink.
We learn from the Bible that we are lost without him. As Christians, we need God and if we pray to him about our heavy burdens, they will be lifted from us. This song goes to show you God is everywhere, and everyday he saves our life.
Mackenzie,
ReplyDeleteI really liked the use of a popular song to inspire such insightful comments. I especially liked the reference to "God-winks"! What a great reminder that God directly intervenes in our lives!! Great job!

Mackenzie,
ReplyDeleteI think it's great how you always remember that God is with you and with every one of us all the time. I guess as teenagers we tend to always forget because of all the pressures the world puts
on us.

Kenz,
ReplyDeleteI love this! I love that song, too, and I thought it was awesome that you turned it into a God thing. It's amazing to be reminded that He's with us no matter what, and I'm so lucky to have a best friend who helps me remember that :) Good blog!

I have never heard that song before, but what you said got me thinking. I think we could all use a boost in our faith and think about all God has done for us. I know I can.
