TUESDAY, AUGUST 13 DAILY JOURNAL

HELMET OF SALVATION & SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

LIVE FOR MORE

Meant To Live
Switchfoot

Fumbling his confidence
And wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he’s bid for more than arguments
And failed attempts to fly, fly

[Chorus]
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside
Somewhere we live inside
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
Somewhere we live inside

Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we’ve been livin with our eyes half open
Maybe we’re bent and broken, broken

[Chorus]
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than this world’s got to offer
We want more than the wars of our fathers
And everything inside screams for second life, yeah

We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?
We were meant to live
We were meant to live


Have you ever felt like you were meant to live for more?

Do you feel like you are living with your eyes half open? In what ways?

In what ways do you feel like your bent and broken?

So the question for the day is,"How can you find the solution to these issues in the Salvation of Jesus Christ?" Answer in the comments!

MONDAY, AUGUST 11 DAILY JOURNAL

HELMET OF SALVATION & SWORD OF THE SPIRIT

GOD SHAPED HOLE

How many times a day do you feel alone or see someone who is alone?

Something’s Missing
John Mayer

I’m not alone
I wish I was
Cause then I’d know I was down because
I couldn’t find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now

I’m dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy but I bought it all
It doesn’t help the hunger pains
And a thirst I’d have to drown first to ever satiate

Something’s missing
And I don’t know how to fix it
Something’s missing
And I don’t know what it is
At all

When autumn comes
It doesn’t ask
It just walks in where it left you last
You never know when it starts
Until there’s fog inside the glass around your summer heart

Something’s missing
And I don’t know how to fix it
Something’s missing
And I don’t know what it is
At all

I can’t be sure that this state of mine
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test
For loneliness
For loneliness like this
MONDAY
Something’s missing
And I don’t know how to fix it
Something’s missing
And I don’t know what it is
No I don’t know what it is
Something’s different
And I don’t know what it is
No I don’t know what it is

Friends

Messages waiting on me when
I come home

How come everything I think I need
Always comes with batteries
What do you think it means?

Do you feel like your life is complete? Why or why not? What do you feel is missing from your life?

The message of the Bible is to bring people back to a right relationship with God. Without Jesus Christ in your life you will never be complete—you will always be missing Him.

So the question for the day is, "What are ways God wants to fill your life?" Answer this in the comments!
