THE BEST IS YET TO COME

Hello Friends. Last evening my wife and I were on our way home, traveling from L.A. back to the Inland Empire. As we usually do, we were listening to some jazz on the CD player, and making small talk. One of the songs that came on as we were riding was a song by the late, great Grover Washington, Jr. entitled The Best is Yet To Come, featuring Patti Labelle on vocals. In one verse of the song she sings "As long as we believe, the best is yet to come." Now friends, over the years, I've probably heard this song a hundred times. However, for some reason that line in that verse peeked my interest, and it made me think how true it was.

The bible says in Hebrews 11:1 "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Now think about what Patti said in that song, and tie it in with this verse from Hebrews 11. Both statements have to do with believing for something. And, to bring it home for us, we've been hearing quite a bit these past few months, and weeks, how bad things are and how worse they're going to get. But instead of feeding into the negativity, and the gloom and doom, how about if we took Patti Labelle's statement in the song and applied it to our present situation. " As long as we believe, the best is yet to come." If we took that statement to heart, our future would look a whole lot brighter.

I guess it's true, there IS a message in the music. Be Blessed y'all!
