Been listening to David Crowder Band’s latest, Remedy, and love it. I really enjoy most of the artists associated with Passion and Six Steps Records, but DCB is pretty much my favorite. My son’s favorite, too. Proud Papa. Raising him right.
Anyway, cut 5 is a song called “Never Let Go” and it has been turning my mind over and over again.
We don’t like to say that we let go of God. In our minds, we are committed to Him through thick and thin. It is a false perception.
I let go of God in big and little ways. Little ways like being too busy to give Him time in my day to remake me in the image of His Son. Big ways like choosing to willfully sin. Broken ways, like barely conversing with my God for almost a year after my nephew drowned. You see, I didn’t deny His sovereignty or doubt that He knew what He was doing or deny His Lordship over me or my family. I just didn’t like it. It took me a while to get through it.
In all the times, times of great joy and horrific sorrow, God never let go of me. Perseverance of the Saints is this. I am here, not because I never let go of Him – I do frequently – but because He has never let go of me. Nor will He. No one can snatch me from His hand.
And why not? Because He never changes. Yesterday, today and forever. Alpha and Omega.
Ever Faithful, Ever True…
Through sun and rain, joy and pain, You’re still the same…
You never let go.
What an amazing God. Thankfully, my faith rests on Him, and not me.
Soli Deo Gloria.
