"to remain for a time"
one of my favorite songs "A Song For Christine" by Anathallo is a song based on the book of the Bible, Job. Its a really cool song and I've been listening to this band for like 3 or 4 years. But just recently I started actually looking at and listening to the lyrics. They are seriously so good. They take out little verses of the Bible and then form songs around them. My favorite line in this particular song is: "Better that I dwell in the house of the Lord who upholds all those who fall than reap this harvest of a life waged in the flesh."
When I actually listened and understood these words I was like "omg thats so good"
Dwelling in God's presence it's so important. And these words are put together so perfectly. God upholds even the fallen. And I'd rather dwell in the presence…in the house of God than fall into the ways of the world and the ways of flesh. I've just learned that a simple thing as this…as dwelling…as simply existing is so important. Just living in the presence of the Lord and sitting and meditating in it..
It's weird..When I was in high school when we had detention we had to sit for an hour in the morning before school started and copy different books. I remember one I used to always get in detention was a book that talked about before you start to walk or even stand in the ways of God you have to sit. You have to sit and listen..and just be. Be in His presence..
So yeah…sit on that…dwell on that…
Another reason I like the defitition of this word is because it says "to remain for a time" and that is exactly what I am doing this 9 months. I am remaning for a time..for three months in each country I go to..And I love the idea…because you can do so much in such a short period of time. And remaining is important. Just being with people is important.
prayers are still welcome as I start a new week in a few days..
Honestly it's going to be really hard for me to leave Honduras…but I think God is giving me peace and telling me I will be back……:)
Amazing, so glad you showed me Anathallo! Love it and love you! Im so jealous of you in Honduras!
