"I Need You" and 1st Corinthians
In working on this Sunday’s lesson (1st Corinthians 10), I was reminded of this song: “I Need You” by Lee Ann Rimes.
Sure, it could just be a secular love song, but when I hear the song it sounds like a hymn to God.
Here’s my favorite line:
“You’re the hope that moves me
To courage again”
How did I get from 1st Corinthians to Lee Ann Rimes? Well, Paul was talking about idol worship and the commentary pointed out that our modern idols are things like money, status, and security, and that when we put our trust in anything but God we are worshiping idols, assigning Godly power to worldly things. Hence the idea that God is all we really need. Hence, the song “I Need You.”
I know, my mind moves in strange ways.
