so, today's tuesday, but we'll still have our music 'monday.' connection crisis is to blame.
anyhow, this song, it speaks so much truth to me. heard it way back but i can't seem to have enough of it. it holds timeless truth.
slow fade ~ casting crowns
be careful little eyes what you see,
it's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings
be careful little feet where you go,
for it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow
it's a slow fade when you give yourself away,
it's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
thoughts invade, choices are made,
a price will be paid when you give yourself away
people never crumble in a day, it's a slow fade, it's a slow fade
be careful little ears what you hear
when flattery leads to compromise, the end is always near
be careful little lips what you say
for empty words and promises lead broken hearts astray
the journey from your mind to your hands is shorter than you're thinking.
be careful if you thin you stand, you just might be sinking.
it's a slow fade when you give yourself away,
it's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
thoughts invade, choices are made,
a price will be paid when you give yourself away
people never crumble in a day, daddies never crumble in a day,
families never crumble in a day.
oh, be careful little eyes what you see, be careful little eyes what you see,
for the Father up above is looking down in love
oh, be careful little eyes what you see.
"how can a young person stay on the path of purity? by living according to Your Word. i have hidden Your Word in my heart that i might not sin against You." proverbs 119:9,11
"above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." proverbs 4:23
"we demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ." 2 corinthians 10:5
"My[Jesus] prayer is not that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one. they are not of the world, even as I am not of it. sanctify them by the truth; Your word is Truth." john 17:15-17
"do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- His good, pleasing and perfect will." romans 12:2
"so, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! no temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. and God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. but when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 corinthians 10:12-13
let's be mindful of the things we feed our minds-worldly movies/tv shows we watch, music we listen to, books/blogs we read, websites we visit. let's be mindful of the people we constantly surround ourselves with, both in person and the virtual world-our social media. let's do away with all that does not glorify our heavenly Father. in all you do, ask yourself: does this make me get to know the heart of Jesus better?
our thoughts are a great deal influenced by what we feed our minds, and our thoughts influence our actions. so let's guard our hearts and minds with the Word from the excessive garbage of the world. let's ask Holy Spirit to give us the power to resist temptation and walk in the Light of Jesus.
