Low on the Go!

oh i've been forgetting to say...

Bethany Dillon's new album, Waking Up is amazing!

and another thought...

I've been thinking about that post I wrote recently about the violinist, Joshua Bell.

It struck me that Bell was offering something beautiful and something worth a great deal (approximately $1000/minute) for free, to undeserving people, who hurried by without even casting a second glance. How many, had they known what was being offered, would have stayed to watch? How many, had they kept their eyes and ears open, would have noticed the beauty being offered for free? And how many, if they had just stopped from the busyness and had taken time to listen would have benefited from melodious sounds?

What a Jesus archetype! Infinitely more than Bell, Jesus offers something beautiful and something worth a great deal (the price of innocent blood) for free, to undeserving people who often hurry by without even casting a second glance. How many, if they were informed of what is being offered would accept? How many, if they kept their eyes and ears open to His knock, would notice the beauty being offered for free? And how many, if they stopped from the busyness and took time to sit as His feet would benefit from the Creator of Beauty Himself?

But how are they to call on him, in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? ~Rom 10:14

And she had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to come and help me." But the Lord answered her, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away."~ Luke 10:42
