Life is full of distractions. Even when you work for a youth ministry. I find myself pouring over thoughts of what I'll do after I finish this program, where I will be in 10 years, what people think of me, what my future family will look like - The list goes on.
Then there's moments like tonight when everything is still. It's like God is whispering 'slow down and look what I have for you'. A lot of perspective is gained and I realize all of the above thoughts pale in comparison to what's really important. I've been redeemed. I'm His beloved.
David Crowder has a song titled 'Come and Listen'. I listened to that song tonight three times in repeat. The song is very simple and has only a few verses. Over and over he sings, "Come and Listen - Come and Listen to what he has done". It's a great song to listen to and reflect. Thoughts and noises become white static. It's simple.
The last verse repeats over and over. "Praise our God, for He is good."
Moses said of Benjamin before Moses died:
Deuteronomy 33:12 “The beloved of the LORD dwells in safety. The High God surrounds him all day long, and dwells between his shoulders.”
We are his beloved.
