Not sure why, but I picked up a collection of John Lennon songs at the library the other day. I was feeling a tad down as I had some cavities filled earlier that day… I don’t know…
Either way, I enjoyed listening to some of the classic anti-war / peace songs of the 1970′s: “Power to the People,” “Imaging”, “Happy XMas (War is Over)”…
Having pledged my loyalty to Jesus of Nathareth, I have entered into the battle of the ages – nay, “battle” is the wrong word. War. Horrible, genocide, no mercy, war. My life must reflex this fact as any false move could be my last.
Aye, the Master is merciful. But the enemy is not….
It is this war lifestyle that wears on one’s soul. There are times when I want the tension to leave – to have peace. Ah, perhaps that’s why Lennon’s songs are so powerful. They cry out for a time when peace or shalom will rule.
Come, Lord, come.
May Your Kingdom Come on Earth as in Heaven…
