“But what if I was wrong?
Oh what if I was wrong?
But hold on to what you believe, in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight”
Oh what if I was wrong?
But hold on to what you believe, in the light
When the darkness has robbed you of all your sight”
-“Hold On To What You Believe”, Mumford and Sons
I’ll
admit, it’s easy to let doubts and fears creep into our hearts and minds. God knows the headlines alone are enough to
cause us great distress and worry. Of
course, those are the things that cause newspapers, television shows, and
websites to succeed. We let those fears
get the best of us, and like a hungry child starving for food, we feed them, by
reading and listening to more and more. The next thing you know, we have
forgotten about the Good News altogether.
I think
Lent is a great time for us to turn down the cacophony of bad news, to realize
that the worst word is never the last word, and to refocus our hearts and minds
on the Living God. I love the fact that
spring is just around the corner when it comes to this challenge. Soon we will begin to see signs of life
re-emerging from its winter slumber and as that new life springs up around us,
we can be reminded that God is still moving in this world.
In the
meantime, like the song says, we ‘hold on to what we believe, in the light’
that we know as Jesus Christ. Thanks be
to God for the Good News, even when we forget about it at times.
Peace,
