The Closing of Another Year *(Opening Of a New Year)

As the year winds down to a close and the New Year slowly creeps in, I am reminded of the scriptures and the Music God has laid on my heart at the beginning of the year 2010 on Jan 1, 2010. these were the scriptures that God laid on my heart; Psalms 1:1-5, Psalms 121:1-2, Matthew 6:33,  and sometime later the Music by Casting Crowns titled "Slow Fade". Later I found a teaching Video by Leadsinger and Youth Pastor Mark Hall on Psalms 1:15 which may have inspired the song "Slow Fade".

After Reflecting on those scriptures and Music I am reminded that during the year I slowly faded and did not draw near to God because I was to peoccuppied with other things  yet God has always been there for me,  continually reminding me how much he loved me.  Our down falls do not happen overnight, Its a slow fade or progression.  Here is a part of the lyrics.

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away

It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
Daddies never crumble in a day
Families never crumble in a day

The question I ask myself is why am I so preoccuppied. My mind should be on God.
What is the Age old Question You would ask youself?
