#ldat40 Day 20, Don’t, Ed Sheeran
Philippian 4: 6-8
[Don’t] worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Sheeran’s Don’t is a ballad of poor choices and infidelity that left his heart exposed and broken.
“Trust and respect is what we do this for
I never intended to be next”
“And I wasn't looking for a promise or commitment
But it was never just fun and I thought you were different”
Our hearts are designed for optimum performance under the conditions of “trust and respect”. As we entering into relationship without promise or commitment we expose our hearts in ways that can be damaging. Sheeran’s experience inspires him to create an anthem of warning “Don’t fuck with my heart”. He does this out of fear and worry that someone else will repeat this heart attack.
The letter to the Philippians calls us to offer our hearts to God who is the one who will guard our hearts and minds. We don’t have to worry about that, if we pursue God’s love. What do you think?
