Like I've said before, here on Life with Lynnie (LwL), today is a special day. SONday!
It's the day when our church family meets up. Together, we worship God.
Of course, we can also worship Him through music. Just as I've said before.
So, I decided to share with you a hymn.
This hymn is sung by Elvis Presley, and is entitled, By and By. Here is a link for you to listen to and/or sing along: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyKU-xY-gYY. The lyrics are below.
By and By
Well children by and by, oh when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand Him better by and by
Trials dark on every hand and we cannot understand
All the ways God will lead us
To the blessed promised land
He will guide us with his eye
And we'll follow till we die
And we'll understand him better by and by
Well children by and by, oh when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand Him better by and by
Temptation's hidden snares often take the sun away
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best
But we'll understand it better by and by
By and by when the morning comes
All the saints of God together they come
We will tell the story how the Lord will come
And we'll understand Him better by and by
And we'll understand Him better by and by
Amen...
Time goes by and by.
And, just as the lyrics say, we'll understand Him better, by and by.
Thinking of this, made me think of Psalm 119:100, " I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts."
Yes, I do understand more than the ancients, because I keep Thy precepts.
Am I perfect?
No.
God told us that no one is perfect here on earth. Only our Lord, Jesus Christ was perfect, and is still perfect.
However, I understand more than the ancient people, because in this day and age, we have the entire Bible. Unlike many years ago, when people didn't have a copy of a Bible, to read.
It's so important to read the Bible. For when we read God's Word, the Bible, we learn about precepts.
We learn about truth that God teaches us, and we learn about what He would have us do.
I read God's Word, the Bible.
Do you?
If not, please begin today.
If you've never before read the Bible, begin reading in the New Testament, in the Book of John. Read it all, until the end. Then later, you can read the entire Bible.
By doing this, you'll be educated. And, blessed.
Until next time...
