To seek eternal reward is to have a life well-lived

Monday Message
Have you ever hung on to awards of the past, trophies and plaques and such, dusting them off with all the other knick-knacks? Do you find they bring up those moments of the past when you were so determined to get that reward, that trophy, that recognition?
 
Thanks for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Abi’s words today speak profoundly about earthly rewards vs. eternal ones. May we all strive for the eternal trophy…Heaven

Phony
The world atoning
For a life well lived
Must be worth showing
For nothing other than dust upon trophies
 
So I ask myself this:
What was this day supposed to bring?
I pray to know
For I am weak
 
This mind of mine
A fickle, feeble thing
and when the wind gusts
Scattering debris
That’s when I must hold on to what’s bigger than me
 
Bigger than my dreams
Or the voice in the silence
So loud that it rings
Anything to remove
The cries and the stings
 
A perfect peace
In this not so rare moment of need
I sit and question
What lay in this debris?
What is this feeling?
 
A temporary thing
A moment of agony
Until morning will bring
Songs of pure joy
Love, joy, and peace
 
But I must not go to sleep
With a mind still questioning
and a heart still angry
Wondering what is this feeling
So dark
so tormenting?
 
Where is my hope?

Phony
 
As i question most everything
 
God, You have been so good to me
What now are you trying to prove to me?
 
Relentlessly
Endlessly
 
Lord, please get through to me!
 
This feeling so old, yet so new to me
What on earth am I even doing?
Where is the rewind button?
How do I end this movie?
 
For I am tired
I am weary
Rest come to me
Holy Spirit pour out your presence
Let it flow through me
 
I was tired
I was weary
But Good Lord, you grew me
Because I prayed for this storm and this wind
To cut straight through to me
 
The debris of my darkness
To test my inner vest
Yes, with His Shield of Faith
Armored up to protect
Now I can lay
My sweet soul to rest
 
“The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are vain (empty and futile–only a breath).” - Psalm 94:11
“And again, The Lord knows the thoughts and reasonings of the [humanly] wise and recognizes how futile they are.” - 1 Corinthians 3:20
