Run to the Father – Prov. 4:11-12

 

This is Namma for Christ with the one hundred eighty-fifth inspirational message dated Wednesday, May 12th, 2021. The title of this message is “Run to the Father – Prov. 4:11-12”.

The first four words of the title are also the name of the below inspirational song/video, “Run to the Father” (with lyrics) as performed by Cody Carnes.  The below passage of scripture (that accompanies this message) is from the Old Testament book of Proverbs - the eleventh and twelfth verses of the fourth chapter:

Proverbs 4:11-12

New International Version (NIV)

 

¹¹   I instruct you in the way of wisdom

    and lead you along straight paths.
¹² When you walk, your steps will not be hampered;
    when you run, you will not stumble.

 

 

I recently was listening to my favorite Christian radio station – STAR 99.1FM, and I heard the song, “Run to the Father” by Cody Carnes.  

I listened carefully and thoughtfully to the lyrics and they “touched me” so much…I knew that I would have to share “this” song in my next message.

I went on the internet and researched the writer and singer of this song - “Cody Carnes”. I found his “inspiration” for writing this song to be so honest and “so humble”.  He (Cody Carnes) wrote:

    "There is always an open door into the welcome invitation of the Father’s love," Carnes explained of his new song.

"It’s available to every person. We accept that invitation when we say, 'I need you.' This is an 'I need you' song. It celebrates the grace that never runs out and recognizes the freedom and security that’s found in the arms of the Father. I pray this song reveals the love of God for you in a deeper way today”.

 

Personally speaking, this song caused me to reflect on how (throughout my life) - God has demonstrated His love to me and “how much” God has forgiven me – AGAIN AND AGAIN!

Especially – during the times in my life that I felt at my lowest, the saddest…or during the “seasons” in my life when I felt that I “failed miserably” at something…God was ALWAYS THERE!

In my lowest moments - God showered me with His unconditional love and made me feel loved, secure and safe – in Him! I knew that I could ALWAYS RUN & RETURN BACK – TO MY FATHER GOD!  

The Word of God continuously reminds us of God’s unfailing love and that “He will NEVER leave us nor forsake us” – See the below verse in - Hebrews 13:5b –

Hebrews 13:5b

New King James Version (NKJV)

 For He Himself has said,

 "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 

No matter what we may go through - we, as His children - CAN ALWAYS RETURN & RUN TO OUR FATHER GOD!
