Renewed to Honor

A few Christmases ago, I came across this new carol. Lisa Clow is the author along with Bob Kauflin from Sovereign Grace Music. I love the lyrics as they contrast the classic hymn "O Come All Ye Faithful". Not every Sunday over the last few years had been good. There had been really hard Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays to Sundays and some time for a period of time. Last weeks we went through some major changes and  feeling of doubt filled me.

Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’   And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.   I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.’   So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’   He said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’   Then he said to another, ‘And how m...
