Resolution

In music theory, a 6m (vi) triad often resolves to a 1M (I) triad, also called the root. That is the 6th chord in the key (which is minor, lower case roman numerals for 6) leads to the 1st chord in the key (which is Major, upper case roman numeral for 1). On a guitar, an example is Am – C, the 6 to the 1. A little more complicated, the chord progression could pass quickly through the 7 (vii) perhaps: Am – B (perhaps Em7/B) – C for example, where the 7 is a leading tone within the resolution of the vi – I, thusly: vi – vii – I.

It’s the One that brings resolution.

Jeremiah 23:23 (NASB)
23 “Am I a God who is near,” declares the Lord,
“And not a God far off?

It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, the One always awaits you. He is always near. When writing a song, you can make a firm decision to do or not to do something, so why not go back to the One. My voice comes from my guitar. It came out of my mouth where we should go. Resolution.

John 14:6 NIV
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Luke 22:20 NIV
In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”

1 Corinthians 2:2 NIV
For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

1 John 2:6 NIV
Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

God’s final resolution rests solely on Christ (John 14:6). He made Jesus His last covenant for humanity (Luke 22:20). Paul reminds us about The Jesus Resolution as he writes this letter to Corinth (1 Corinthians 2:2). John writes to his loved ones and says to resolve to the One (1 John 2:6).

Resolution is in God’s truth and spirit. Sometimes the rain is unstoppable.

Runnin’ Down a Dream (paraphrased)
Tom Petty
The last three days,
the rain was unstoppable
There’s somethin’ good,
waitin’ down this road
Yeah, runnin’ down a dream
Goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream
