ONE DAY MORE – Les Miserable Companies 1987 – Present

SCRIPTURE:
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
the purposes of his heart through all generations.
—Psalm 33:11—
THOUGHT:
You may or may not know that I am a Broadway fan. I know it might be shallow but I love theater and especially musicals. My favorite musical is LES MISERABLES. The title in English is often translated as The Miserable Ones or The Victims. In other words, for those of you who may not be familiar with the story, it is about how our world doesn’t really take care of those who are poor or needy or ill like we should. It takes place just before the French Revolution and follows a man (Jean Valjean) who experiences many terrible circumstances throughout his life and yet continues to fight and especially continues to help others, even if it hurts him.
The song I have attached is the finale song “One More Day”. It speaks of love, comradery, and tenacity. It speaks of working together for a purpose, always striving forward, always helping those less fortunate than ourselves, and always keeping a positive outlook.
So, in this unfortunate situation we find ourselves in, maybe we can find some comfort from the fact that we are helping each other. We are being tenacious by following the rules. We are staying apart in order to keep others from getting sick. We are teaching our children, whether teacher or parent, and we are hopefully looking forward to a day of hope and health.
The Lord’s purpose is firm and forward-looking as well. We know that we can depend on Him, knowing in our hearts that His Word is solid and all-encompassing.
PRAYER:
We are here Lord. We don’t know exactly what Your Purpose is just yet, but we do know that we can depend on You. We don’t know how long it will last but we do know You are “I AM” from the beginning, now, and forever shall be. We can be strong because of all the people who have gone before us. We can be helpful like all those we have learned about in the Bible. And we can be hopeful because of Your Promises! Just ONE MORE DAY…..
AMEN
So, please enjoy the music with the attachment at the beginning of this devotional. It is recorded in isolation by all the stars of Les Misérables.
