Perpspective

Sometimes in our walk with God, we get upset and frustrated with him. Most of the time, our frustrations are when we lack his knowledge of our past, present, and future circumstances. It produces doubt and fear, keeping us away from protection He lavishes on us. The following set of verses are from a song called "Anglez" off of Shai Linne's debut album The Solus Christus Project. This portion is performed by Timothy Brindle, taking on the persona of an angel ministering to a young man who is wrestling with his faith. Be encouraged!

Since man's seldom seeing;
the truth he can't tell-so hear from this angelic being.
A divine messenger;
and I don't resemble chubby babies with wings. That's a lying replica.
I'm a ministering spirit who serves Christ,
and those who will inherit internal life.
I've seen all the days of history.
Yet I'm still gazing into this amazing mystery;
That God would make humans from dirt.
And after removing their curse make them a beautiful church.
Have you seen in the Heavens to behold His son;
In the immediate presence of the Holy One?
Nah, be thankful kid,
Cause sinful humans are unable to see His glorious face and live.
And if you're in terror when seeing me,
How much more will you be scared of the Deity who created me?
That's why cherubim and seraphim wouldn't dare to sin
"Cause they're scared of Him after peering at His face.
And no angel has experienced grace.
And if I sinned, He wouldn't have saved me.
Consider His goodness, you shouldn't be angry.
You've lived violently with pride and greed.
I've lived entirely with piety
in compliancy to His dynasty;
Yet no Messiah has ever died for me.
See, I'm right with God 'cause I'm sinless.
Men are right with God from forgiveness.
I've been shouting His praises for thousands of ages.
I bow at amazement at His power and patience.
Yet I've encountered He's gracious;
Instead of Him devouring pagans, He's vowing to save them.
Italians and Asians, bountiful nations
will worship with me, though I never doubted His cadence.
And don't be mad at Him because Adam sinned,
Us angels bugged out, He didn't smash him then.
Yeah it's true He allowed the fall of man,
But He used it now to exalt the Lamb.
The Lord who's wise permits existence of sin
to be glorified in His forgiveness of men.
So listen my friend-your complaints are many.
If anything be amazed that He's saving any.
Yeah, you confess the Lord
but those who truly profess are pure. Make your election sure
Are you saved or not, you're faced with a choice,
So please repent and make us angels rejoice.
