Devotional

I'm signed up to get a weekly devotional that takes a song and gives you a little devo with it, and I thought maybe I'd share one every once in a while. So...Here's one for today!

Song: Mat Kearney - "Closer to Love"

Lyrics: "I guess we're all one phone call from our knees"

Devo: Life is good. You have great friends, a happy family. School or work is going well. And then in one phone call, everything changes. Someone dies, someone leaves, someone gets sick, you lose your job.

What do you do? Who do you depend on? Who do you call when life falls apart? Do you have friends that will be there for you? If you don't know the answer, God may be directing you to find a community. God didn't design us to live in isolation; He wants us to live our lives with other people. People we can rely on and call when life gets hard.

If you don't have that yet, ask God to begin showing you and opening you up to those relationships. And remember, real relationships can be hard and messy and take time. But if you put in the effort, you will also reap the benefits.

Scripture: Galatians 6:2 - "Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ."
