My wife and I were sitting there watching all these little girls dancing around, and then I was hearing . . . Metallica? Nothing Else Matters. What?
So, now I've got these words on repeat, running through my brain.
"Nothing else matters, nothing else matters,"
That's when another young lady took the stage, and another song found its way into my already overloaded brain. This one was a Christian song whose catch phrase was "Light of The World." Great! Now I've got TWO songs bouncing around in my head! Or is it just ONE song?
The words of BOTH songs kept repeating over and over again. Next thing I knew the songs in my head blended into one.
The Light of The World - Nothing Else Matters.
Well, that's certainly true. I wonder if the lyrics might contain any more inspiration. From Metallica:
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Seeking someone to trust in this world can be a difficult task. There is only one place to place our trust and hope, and that's Jesus. The trust I seek I find in You, Lord.
"I will say to the LORD, "You are my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." - Psalm 91:2
The worldview most people have these days does not contain God. It is a secular world view. But if we open our minds to a different view - a Biblical worldview - then we can find it truly is the only view that makes any sense. Nothing else matters. Then the next song from Lauren Daigle:
The world waits for a miracle
The heart longs for a little bit of hope
Oh come, oh come, Emmanuel
This is a time of miracles alright. A baby born in a manger, He came to save the world. A virgin birth, God coming to earth as a man, miracle after miracle for us to see and still so many do not believe.
"Even after Jesus had performed so many signs and miracles in their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet:
“Lord, who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” 39For this reason they could not believe." - John 12:37-39
The message I received in these two songs is a perfect one, especially during this time of year.
The Light of The World (Jesus) is worthy of our trust. He never lies, He has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Won't you let Him perform a miracle in your heart? Let Him give you the hope that you seek. Considering the world we live in today, could placing our trust in Jesus cure the sad feelings in our hearts? Pray this prayer with me:
Heavenly Father, I am so sick of this world. I place my trust in You, and You alone. I pray that You Lord would perform a miracle in me. Change my heart. This world holds nothing for me anymore. You are the Light of the world! I place my trust in You and You alone. Lord, nothing else matters . . . but You. Amen.
