Lesson #27: His Love is the Only Promise That Remains

Lately, my mind has been filled with questions and doubts. Questions and doubts about God...I was letting my emotions and the way I was feeling take control of my thoughts. Through all this thinking, I found myself very tired...not physically, but emotionally and spiritually. As thoughts were running through my head...me feeling sorry for myself...I hear the following song...it's a love song written by Justin Timberlake (sung by him and Reba McEntire).

The Only Promise That Remains:

When the ground beneath you starts a-shakin', shakin’
And you forget the place we came from, came from
When you're lost and lookin' for a way home
You're way home to me
I'll come out and find you
When the world around you starts a-movin', movin’
And you should wonder if I still love you, love you
If you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home

And after all the sky has fallin' down
And after all the water's washed away
My love's the only promise that remains

When your doubts have got you thinkin', thinkin'
Nothing's ever really sacred, sacred

And you're afraid you might believe it
Believe in me
And I'll give you a reason
Cuz the world around us keeps on movin', movin’
And there's no doubt that I still love you, love you
So when you feel the darkness comin', risin' inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home

To me...these are God's words to us...after all the sky has fallen down and after all the waters washed away...HIS love is the only promise that remains. It's exactly what I needed to hear at that exact moment.

If your sinful nature controls your mind, there is death. But if the Holy Spirit controls your mind, there is life and peace. Romans 8:6
