God Of This City by Chris Tomlin
This song was used in the video of the youth screened during service yesterday. The lyrics attracted my attention and it set me thinking. As the recession worsens, every one of us will be impacted in one way or another. Honestly, I found it rather sad that I cannot walk into a shop and not think twice, sometimes thrice, before I purchase something. However, this song somehow reminded me that no matter what happens, we can always look upon Him as our source of hope.
"I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."
John 14:12 (NIV)
Now, now, as I think about it, I recall Uncle Kenneth sharing the verse Matthew 6:19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal."
Indeed, what are our earthly riches compared to our heavenly wealth?
