One of my favorites songs to sing with all of you guys is Reckless. There are many that enjoy this song and use it as part of their worship celebration service but many do not. I do respect their decision. They do it because, like I said yesterday, the word reckless in no way, shape or form describes God or His work although it would seem that way if we didn't have the Bible to tell us different. I maybe would have used the word relentless. Reckless would indicate that God does not know 1. What He is getting Himself into and 2. That what He did would not guarantee the result He desires. God does know all things and has the power to bring about any result He desires. This would seem clear in the very first word of song repeated twice in the first verse... ♪ Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me You have been so, so good to me ♪ ♪ Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me You have been so, so kind to me ♪ "Before" would indicate that God is the initiator. He did not wait for us but rather acted on our behalf even before we would or could make any move toward Him. Before I took a breath He breathed His life in me. God is Creator of all life. The song beautifully illustrates this in the beginning speaking of Adam. Adam, before he spoke a word God was singing over Him. The Bible tells us that God looked at all he had made and said it was very good. The song writer then says, "You are so, so good to me." Still thinking of Adam, the song says, "Before I took a breath You breathed Your life in me". Just think, Adam didn't ask to be made but God chose to bring Him into existence in order to have a relationship with him and made everything with him in mind. This why we sing, "You have been so, so kind to me. This kindness is the grace of God knowing that Adam would sin and that his sin would affect the entire world; everything and and everyone in it after him, God still went ahead and created Adam. He sang over him and breathed His life into him. How good God is towards His creation despite knowing all of our thoughts and future actions. Do you struggle to see that God is so, so good to you? God is good to you. His mercies are new every day to the righteous and unrighteous. He gives us air to breath and causes the sun to shine on all of us. It is what theologians call the common grace of God. Although life may not be all that we think it should be, it is the life that He has given and is sustaining each and every day. He is so, so good to us. Even when Adam sinned and was hiding it was God who went after him and covered him with the life of an animal. So God does with all those who believe in Him, not with the life of an animal but with the very life of Son. He is so, so good to those who believe this. Maybe you don't believe just yet but I am praying that each of you would come to know the love of God in Christ. Even so, anyone like Adam, can know that He is so, so good to them. Although I may not agree with everything the songwriter says I do appreciate his humility and fervor. Make some time today to listen to the video and comment below. We will talk more about this glorious truth throughout the week. For now, have a great day Loved Ones and God bless you real good!
