It was a great day out at Food Lifeline. Our team (Total of about 45 people) sorted and packed over 16,000 lbs of food! Unreal! My verse, to tell you honestly didn't cross my mind much today. But as I think about it: "no one gets to the father, except through me". This statement has the assumption that our goal is to "get to the Father". This resonates with another thing that I heard at the City Serve Youth Rally. The speaker pulled up Psalm 30:9. David makes a case to God to spare him from the "pit" or grave/hell. The reason he didn't want to go away from God's presence: Because he was concerned about where the praise to God was going to come from. "Will the dust praise you, will it declare your faithfulness?".
In our lives, if we want to truly advance, there must be a love for God. But not just a love for God that is just enough to fit in Christian circles and hold hands. A love for God that finds its residence deep within our core.
