I Made It!

I heard a new-to-me song tonight, which made me think, and it settled in.

I Made It.
That’s the name of the song. A group called Promised sang it tonight, and I found it on YouTube by Cain, probably the ones who sang it first.

But let me get to my reason for writing tonight, for you to read this morning. Here’s a link to the lyrics; I really hope you will read them. HERE

In my Christian circle, I have noticed we speak of our failures more easily than our victories, as if to speak of our victories is somehow the opposite of humble. This song gave me a perspective that I am appreciating! Look:

I’m comin’ out the other side stronger
One foot in front of the other
Hands still raisin’, heart still praisin’
I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it

Through the storms, the hell and high water
I never left the hands of my Father
Lungs still breathin’, thank You, Jesus
I made it, I made it, I made it, I made it

Pardon me if I am wrong. But to be able to look back at a hard siege, and with humble pride be able to say I didn’t betray You, I didn’t lose faith, I didn’t fail to trust You, You kept me from falling, from stumbling! I made it!
Somehow, I think we have missed that being able to say I made it is honorable. It is a glory to our Great GOD; it demonstrates what HE can do in us!

This kind of saying, ” I made it, ” is not patting ourselves on the back; rather, it is our arms outstretched, our face toward heaven, tears washing our soul, and shouting a hallelujah of praise to our King that HE has made us faithful!

Oh, yes! We need more of these I Made It(s) in the Body of CHRIST!

Anybody agree?

2026, Gospel of Luke, You Tubes

Dig Deep

46 “But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do the things which I say? 
47 Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: 
48 He is like a man building a house, who dug deep
The title of our post today — Dig Deep.

and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 
49 But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently; and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” Luke 6

Foundations are important; so important that we cannot build a proper anything without the proper foundation. JESUS knew that, and He built on it to explain to us that HE is the proper and only foundation for us to build these mortal lives on. Because vehement storms are going to come, be we saved or lost.

But he who heard and did nothing . . . oh, let me not be one who hears and does nothing! Rather, let me pick up a pickaxe and a shovel, whatever it takes to dig deep in the Word so that I can build this mortal life on the ROCK of my Salvation. I urge you to do the same. Pick up your Bible, paper, pen, and a commentary, if you please, and set about digging deep into the Word of GOD. As the TEXT says, vehement storms are going to come, but we who have dug deep and whose lives are built on the ROCK will stand.
One more thought. Please notice the Text reads: the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. 
Notice that it says could not. It doesn’t say did not, but could not! The storms, the enemy cannot beat us when we are solid on the Rock.
