Word of the Day Espresso Shot
Word of the Day: Gold
Out of all the beautiful promises in the Bible, there is one that isn’t so beautiful— the promise that, in this world, we will have trouble.
Following Jesus brings hope and peace, but it does certainly not bring an easy or aesthetic life.
But as Tricia reminded us in today’s podcast— the mention of gold in our reading reminds us to set our minds on the things of heaven.
The late, legendary Christian singer Mandisa penned a great phrase to remember this as you walk through trials on earth: “This is only the world.” She created a song around this idea with the lyrics:
“Been a hard one
Been a bad one
Been a tough one
Been a sad oneIt's been just one of those days
That keeps chipping away at my heart
Nothing new here
It's what I do here
It's a stereotypical day in the life
I'm surrounded by all of the pain and the strife
But I know it's alright'Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only today I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
'Cause it's only the world
I know the best is still yet to come
'Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more than only the world for me1.”
