There is a song from back in the good ol days that I just heard on the radio again yesterday. The song always makes me think. It reminds me of typical human nature. It also reminds me of the Church. It also reminds me of me. The song is by an obscure group called Ten Years After. The song bemoans all the problems in the world and how the solutions don’t work and the chorus says:
I’d love to change the world
But I don’t know what to do
So, I leave it up to you
Ah yes. Speaks to the heart of human nature doesn’t it? We’ll all just wait for someone else to come along and do it. I’m speaking on David and Goliath next Sunday as I make my way through 1 Samuel. The Israelites were singing this song until David shows up and says, “Let me at-em.” Oh, I’d love to be a David, but I don’t know what to do.
David had it easy, his giant was in the flesh, right in front of him. Who’s our giant? Where is he? Do we have the faith to go get him?
