History

Our Daily Bread
I tease people a lot, but I can also take it.  When talking about a history class and how difficult it was, I told my nephew that it didn't seem that hard to me when I was in school.  He quickly replied "Well there wasn't as much of it when you were in school!"  Bazinga!  hahaha!

I hear over and over how those who don't know or understand history are doomed to repeat it. Reading the Old Testament reminds us of how Israel was a "stiff-necked people".  The seemingly made the same mistakes over and over, often with horrible consequences.  The same thing applies to our spiritual history. Looking back at my history, I see the same patterns.  Yikes!  Looking forward, will I continue to make the same mistakes over and over?  Will you?  Let's pray for each other that we learn from our history and not repeat it!

Lord, our time is in your hands.  Please help us learn from the past so we can made better decisions in the future!

Building 429 has a cool song called We Won't Be Shaken.  How many times in our lives have we needed the message in this song?  Check out the lyrics and the Youtube video.

"We Won't Be Shaken" [video]

This world has nothing for me
This life is not my own
I know You go before me and I am not alone
This mountain rises higher
The way seems so unclear
But I know that You go with me so I will never fear
I will trust in You

Whatever will come our way
Through fire or pouring rain
We won't be shaken
No we won't be shaken
Whatever tomorrow brings
Together we'll rise and sing
That we won't be shaken
No we won't be shaken
Oooh oooh oh
Oooh oooh oh
Oooh oooh oh
No we won't be shaken

You know my every longing
You've heard my every prayer
You've held me in my weakness
Cause You are always there
So I'll stand in full surrender
It's Your way and not my own
My mind is set on nothing less
Than You and You alone
I will not be moved oh

Whatever will come our way
Through fire or pouring rain
We won't be shaken
No we won't be shaken
Whatever tomorrow brings
Together we'll rise and sing
That we won't be shaken
No we won't be shaken

We will trust in You
We will not be moved
We will trust in You
And we won't be shaken
[x3]

No we won't be shaken

Whatever will come our way
Through fire or pouring rain
We won't be shaken
No we won't be shaken
Whatever tomorrow brings
Together we'll rise and sing
That we won't be shaken
No we won't be shaken
Oooh oooh oh
Oooh oooh oh
Oooh oooh oh
No we won't be shaken
Oooh oooh oh
Oooh oooh oh
Oooh oooh oh
No we won't be shaken
