If I wasn’t convinced that this thought
came from the Lord, I’d be worried about me.
“Why is there a letter ‘C’?”
That was the crazy thought that popped
into my head as I was getting ready for our Easter service this morning. The next thought was, “Where did that come
from?!” Needless to say, it captured my
thoughts; and I’ve been processing it for several hours.
“C” has no sound of its own. It either sounds like “K” or “S”, so why
don’t we just use those letters. “C”
seems unnecessary. Why does it
exist? Here are some “C” words:
Crucify,
as in the price my Savior paid for me.
Carried,
as in what Jesus did with the weight of all my sin.
Celebrate, as in my reaction to my Savior's resurrection!
Circumstances, as in those situations that no longer control me.
Circumstances, as in those situations that no longer control me.
Cease,
as in what happens to my striving when I rest in the Lord.
Crowns, as in the reward God has for me in Glory.
What would they look like if “C” didn’t
exist?
Krucify
Karried
Selebrate
Selebrate
Sircumstances
Sease
Krowns
I guess
those spellings would work just as well, but they don’t have the same
zing. They just don’t look right. The words are just not the same.
Do you feel
unnecessary? Or redundant? Do you feel that what you are doing could be
done just as well by someone else? Maybe
even better?
God created
you, and He created you for a purpose.
Someone else might be able to do what God called you to do, but it just
wouldn’t look right. It wouldn’t be the
same.
Rejoice in
the Lord! Praise His Holy Name because
“[you are] fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14). And it was no accident! This is what the Lord says to you:
“For I know the plans I have for you…plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray
to me, and I will listen to you. You
will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:11-13)
