"The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." Psalm 118:14
We need to be confident and hopeful. Is God our strength? Our song? Our salvation? There is a difference between being religious and being faithful. You do things religiously. That's your religion. Look at how faithful they were when they wrote their notes in the bible. David was faithful to God. He loved, worshiped, and praised God. You have to be faithful religiously to God. Our nation is not what it once was. Be obedient. Be determined. People need to come for miles to worship like they used to. You have to realize that God is your only strength. Without Him, you wouldn't be here. He is in control. Be faithful, you're a Christian. My religion and faith is my Lord, Jesus Christ.
I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."
