Meditation on Nationals 2016

“What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes.”

–James 4:14

“As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him…”

–Psalm 103:15-16

I used to revel in success

To glory in acknowledgement

Striving after nothing less

Than th’greatest of accomplishments

Eventually it came to pass

I self-identified with these

These ornaments that were like mist

Dissipating in the breeze

For trophies, crowns, and accolades

All fade like flowers of the field

One moment swaying in the glade

The next one, gone, no longer real

I’m not defined by what I’ve done

But rather what’s been done for me.

Purchased by His redemptive blood

His life He gave upon the tree

Regardless of my place or win

Now I strive to honor thee

With these words always in my mind

“Deny thyself” and “follow me.”
