Red Letter

One of the echoes in the A Whole New World chorus:

"Every moment red letter"

I guess it's supposed to mean stand-out and extraordinary, but red letter makes me think of the Bibles that have the words of Jesus in red.



Growing up I didn't have one, but my latest Bible has the red letters and it really does draw my eyes toward the words spoken by Jesus. There's something about the red that demands attention. And the words of Jesus are something that should be getting all my attention, and not just when my Bible is open.

There are so many voices in this world telling me endless lies, pushing and pulling and looking to steal my attention. But I don't want to be ruled and dictated to by that noise. I want to be led instead by the life giving truth of my God (Hebrews 4:12).

I want to live every day, consistently with the words of Jesus as my foundation and guide (Joshua 1:8).

Every moment red letter.
