| Dream Theater – Blind Faith Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Faith is the Belief in things unseen, and being sure of what you hope for. Faith is knowing that God has proven His character to us in the past, and will fulfill His promises to us. Sometimes you just have to trust Him without understanding, but that doesn't mean that it's without reason. I really appreciated this song, because it really paints a picture of the intense struggle it is to allow ourselves to humbly accept the simplicity of what God has done for us. We've painted our own Mona Lisa's, our own picture of what we want reality to be, what we want God to be to us. But we neglect what He's already done for us. We want him to come down and fix things for us, but because of our pride, we forget that He already has, but he places the responsiblity of choosing to do what He tells us to do on our shoulders. We want to rely on that 'blind faith' so we don't have to think about how much responsiblity is actually entrusted to us. God has called us to be His servant, his Children, and His friend. He calls us to understand Him through his Word, and make sure that you're not the only one who understands. It's a lot of responsibility, and you face a lot of hardship and scorn from others because of it. =) Often times I have created that Glass Prison myself, so that I could show my Blind Faith off without truly understanding that my faith is internal and humble, not a showcase to others. It's God who is on display, not my on piety. heh... I'm not sure how I found this page, but ya. Long live DT. |
