Before comedy movies like Airplane used satire to elevate stress, the phrase “hold yourself together” has been a battle cry to help people overcome trying times in life. However, when the world around you is falling apart, how can any soul pretend as if nothing is wrong? Maybe this is why the scene below makes a mockery out of someone who has lost control of their emotions.
Modern dramas have a new message, one of hope and self-determination with a fairy tale ending unless of course their show get’s cancelled mid-season. The opposite sex is used as a carrot at the end of a stick, motivation to hold yourself together. Science fiction, the afterlife and an allure of the dark side have created series like the Vampire Dairies. Tyler Ward’s song puts a new spin on the familiar expression, “Keep Yourself Together.”
From a spiritual point of you, holding yourself together is impossible. While the world may call followers of Jesus weak, he is the crutch which props believers up, Matthew 11:28-30. Sure, faith inspires action, James 2:26, but Jesus is the glue that ultimately holds people together. Despite resembling cracked vases composed of clay, Jesus is the only substitute which makes people whole, 2 Corinthians 4:7-10. If you want a permanent solution, Jesus is the answer, John 14:6.
