FTT. What does that mean or stand for? Well, I’ll get to that in a few minutes. Any one that knows me knows that I can be a very habitual person. In other words, I can do the same thing, at the same time over and over sometimes for years. I know it sounds crazy, but I have habits in my life that I’ve done consistently for over 40 years. I don’t say that to say anything about me but that I just tend to be that way. By the way, while it can be good habits, it also means you get very set in your ways, which can be a bad thing as well. Yes, I’ve even had a few people to accuse me of being set in my ways. I have other ideas or habits that may only last days or weeks at the most. FTT is going to be one of those habits I grab on too, that starts today.
From Him, Through Him, and To Him in other words FTT. It’s all about Him. That comes from Romans 11:36, which I read just the other day in my daily reading of Scripture. I’ve read it before, and I go off and think this is really good and I try to remember the order of FTT, and I quickly forget. I had to keep looking it up each day to remember and then I reverted back to some of my college memory techniques by putting initials to it. I then I had to work at what the initials meant. But like any memory work it just takes repetition. So, over the last few weeks, I said it over and over.
While I was reading a book entitled, “All In” by Mark Batterson, I read a chapter titled SDG. Johann Sebastian Bach, put in the margin of his music, SDG, Soli Deo Gloria, a Latin phrase which means, to the glory of God alone. Just a reminder to him, that the music was for God’s glory. FTT, a simple reminder to me that it is all about HIM!
In writing and recording for JoinWithMe.life that has been my greatest desire, and prayer is to bring glory to God with what I have to offer.
So FTT seems fitting for me. Excited about what this phrase means and with great anticipation look forward to sharing those thoughts with you. A new habit forming for me!
