Created for Relationship

Bible in a Year : Psalms 97–99; Romans 16

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18

There’s a growing “rent-a-family” industry in many countries to meet the needs of lonely people. Some use the service to maintain appearances, so that at a social event they can appear to have a happy family. Some hire actors to impersonate estranged relatives, so that they can feel, if briefly, a familial connection they long for.

This trend reflects a basic truth: Humans are created for relationship. In the creation story found in Genesis, God looks at each thing He has made and sees that it’s “very good” (1:31). But when God considers Adam, He says, “It is not good for the man to be alone” (2:18). The human needed another human.

The Bible doesn’t just tell us about our need for connection. It also tells us where to find relationships: among Jesus’s followers. Jesus, at His death, told His friend John to consider Christ’s mother as his own. They would be family to each other even after Jesus was gone (John 19:26–27). And Paul instructed believers to treat others like parents and siblings (1 Timothy 5:1–2). The psalmist tells us that part of God’s redemptive work in the world is to put “the lonely in families” (Psalm 68:6), and God designed the church as one of the best places to do this.

Thanks be to God, who has made us for relationship and given us His people to be our family!

Reflect & Pray

Who are the lonely people in your life who need you to be their family? How have your relationships with fellow believers sustained you through periods of loneliness?

God, help me to depend on others and to be a dependable friend as well.

Awesome. Saw him in concert before he passed and played his music in jazz bands thru the years.

God bless out troops and veterans.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

RICHARD RODGERS

A CONNECTICUT YANKEE

This 1927 musical ran for nearly two years and was based on the Mark Twain story.

”MY HEART STOOD STILL“

This weekend is dedicated to a tune that has become immortal. Before radio, home entertainment was a player piano. This is Richard himself at the keyboard.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

RICHARD RODGERS

A CONNECTICUT YANKEE: ”MY HEART STOOD STILL“

This is what it sounded like in 1928. Paul “made a lady out of jazz,” and this recording gives you a hint of why he was so commercially successful.

Paul Whiteman: “My Heart Stood Still”

[luvie]

Dude......

You’re getting good at this. And I’m always running late. LOL!

[lightman]

And don't forget the cameo in Blazing Saddles as Sheriff Bart rides off to take on the morons of Rock Ridge!

A CONNECTICUT YANKEE: ”MY HEART STOOD STILL“

You think there weren’t throw-downs before hip-hop? “Benny Goodman plays clarinet; I play music,” said Artie. This 1938 recording is gem from the Swing Era.

Artie Shaw: “My Heart Stood Still”

[SkyDancer]

Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) In Phoenix over night then to Denver and home for four on Sunday - hope to catch a red-eye to Den, stay in crew quarters then in the AM head to Seattle.

A CONNECTICUT YANKEE: ”MY HEART STOOD STILL“

Fats Waller referred to him as “God.” This is from 1949 and shows him off at his best. Although his piano technique could be ferocious, here he lays back and just works the tune.

Art Tatum: “My Heart Stood Still”
