No Longer Yourself

Bible in a Year:

• Numbers 17–19
• Mark 6:30–56

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

In the summer of 1859, Monsieur Charles Blondin became the first person to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope—something he would go on to do hundreds of times. Once he did it with his manager Harry Colcord on his back. Blondin gave Colcord these instructions: “Look up, Harry . . . you are no longer Colcord, you are Blondin. . . . If I sway, sway with me. Do not attempt to do any balancing yourself. If you do, we will both go to our death.”

Paul, in essence, said to the Galatian believers: You can’t walk the line of living a life that is pleasing to God apart from faith in Christ. But here’s the good news—you don’t have to! No amount of attempting to earn our way to God will ever cut it. So are we passive in our salvation? No! Our invitation is to cling to Christ. Clinging to Jesus means putting to death an old, independent way of living; it’s as if we ourselves have died. Yet, we go on living. But “the life [we] now live in the body, [we] live by faith in the Son of God, who loved [us] and gave himself for [us]” (Galatians 2:20).

Where are we trying to walk the tightrope today? God hasn’t called us to walk out on the rope to Him; He’s called us to cling to Him and walk this life with Him.

Reflect & Pray

How can you stop trying to please God on your own? Where do you need to cling to Jesus today, trusting His righteousness?

Dear Jesus, thank You for doing for me what I could never do for myself. I turn away from trying to please You on my own. I’m so glad I don’t need to earn Your love.

Some forget that Marvin Gaye started at Motown primarily as a songwriter and background singer.
One of the early tunes he co-wrote was “The Bells”, as in
‘I’ll never hear the Bells if you leave me!’

Marvin wrote it with his then wife, Anna Gordy Gaye, sister of Berry. Marv was producing records by then, and he worked on this one after the group The Originals recorded it.

One of the best covers of this song ever was done by
Laura Nyro, a very strong songwriter in her own right.
If you get a moment, look for the recording Laura did of this song. It was Golden. Her back up singers were none other than Patti LaBelle & The Bluebelles.
Guaranteed to put the listener in a better mood.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Unfortunately I have some cleanup to do before I can shutdown at work. Be back as soon as I can.

[Fiji Hill]

The Anna record label, a Motown subsidiary, was probably named after Anna Gordy Gaye. The singer on this Anna release is actually Lamont Dozier, who co-wrote many of Motown's greatest hits.

Let's Talk it Over--Lamont Anthony (1960)

[Fiji Hill]

Laura Nyro was also a good singer. This was a big hit in Southern California, but didn't make it over the Cajon Pass into the rest of the country.

Wedding Bell Blues--Laura Nyro (1966)

[lee martell]

Oh. I never heard that before. Nice!

[lee martell]

A couple of her songs became big hits for The Fifth Dimension. Laura looked as frail as Mia Farrow, but her voice was as strong as Dusty Springfield. She didn’t like the grind of touring and was fine just writing the songs and performing when she felt like it.
