Just some thoughts from David, from Remedy Drive
When I look around, it seems as if everything is falling apart. Every day there’s another hurricane, earthquake, coastal fire, war, sickness, divorce or a tornado ripping the heart out of our dreams. In the most desperate of times, hope - the beautiful sight for the worn and weary eye- stands in the rubble, digging through the ashes, helping us get back on our feet. She doesn’t leave; she is our strength when we have none.
When it seems like everything we count on is letting us down, when the brightest stars are falling from the darkest sky, hope is on the horizon. For me, the song “Daylight Is Coming,” is personally meaningful because I wrote it at the time of my daughter’s birth. My wife was in the middle of a relentless labor from midnight to 6:00 am. Through the night we were just waiting for relief, for the site of morning. When the sun rose, our daughter was born. Quite epic I think.
Our human existence isn’t validated by the cars we drive, cards we carry, or jobs we have. Is there anything in the universe that can sustain the need of my human heart? We spend our lives looking for something substantial - something valuable and permanent. But we end up with normalcy, marginalized again, consumed by our own consumerism. But I hear a kingdom’s coming that won’t stop running, a kingdom that doesn’t depend on foreign oil. I hear the economy of grace doesn’t go into recession. I hear there is something that is made to last - something that won’t wear down, burn out or fade away. This something is more real then rock music, more real then the bright screen burning a hole in my soul, more real then happiness or success. We want something substantial - not the artificial, fabricated, plastic paradise we keep on building.
