There was a great song last year by The Automatic, it really got into your head, and you would find yourself merrily chanting the lyrics at the most inane of times.
'What's that coming over the hill, Is it a Monster? Is it a Monster?'
We can spend so much time worried about what is in the future, around the bend, or just over the hill. What is over the hill? Is it a monster, and if it is does it matter anyway?
God has a plan for his peoples contentment whatever is around the corner. I'm currently in a state of manic excitement about what is around the corner. There are probably a few monsters that need to be slain. We can so often be held captive by our fears and reservations, by the words and agendas of others we need to hold on to the fact that God has plans for us to give us a hope and a future.
2 Corinthians 10: 3-6
3-6The world is unprincipled. It's dog-eat-dog out there! The world doesn't fight fair. But we don't live or fight our battles that way—never have and never will. The tools of our trade aren't for marketing or manipulation, but they are for demolishing that entire massively corrupt culture. We use our powerful God-tools for smashing warped philosophies, tearing down barriers erected against the truth of God, fitting every loose thought and emotion and impulse into the structure of life shaped by Christ. Our tools are ready at hand for clearing the ground of every obstruction and building lives of obedience into maturity.
Love the version of 2 Cor 10. I should read that every day on the way to work!
