The Dark Horses

It's 12:03 at night and Switchfoot is on Jimmy Kimmel. I do not like Jimmy Kimmel. I do, however, love Switchfoot. Their new album comes out September 27th and I have already pre-ordered it. I've also seen them live in concert last year. It was by far the best concert I have ever been to. :)

Anyway. The past few days have made me think about how many different cultures and people groups there are in the world. Everyone has had his or her own unique experiences. Yet despite these boundaries, eveyone has the same need for God. And love, friendship, and purpose. I suppose that's how humans who may at first seem so different are able to bond here on this planet. It's a comfort to know that we are not alone in our lives that sometimes seem so isolated.

"One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that You, O God, are strong, and that you, O Lord, are loving." - Psalms 62:11-12a

For reasons unkown.

Things change whether we want them to or not. This is something I've had to learn as time and again a new life situation presents itself as the old, familiar ways begin to fade into oblivion. Yet God does not change. And this is a comfortable thought. Humanity continually changes for the worse, but God remains as faithful as ever. Every day I turn on the news and grimace as more and more crimes are reported. I have to wonder what other terrible things have happened that no one has discovered yet. It is clear that our world has come to a sad fate. But there is still hope. There is still good in the world. Read the Bible. Lives change.

"The earth is filled with Your love, O Lord; teach me Your decrees." - Psalm 119:64
