Do you ever get music stuck in your head? I mean really really stuck... like no matter what you do, what annoying song you listen to that always gets stuck in your head it still doesn't get rid of the other song? Yeah. That's where I'm at with this song. And somewhere around a week in I started asking myself what is God trying to tell me. Certainly now, at the end of a second week I have found myself reflecting a lot on what God could be trying to tell me. (and perhaps desperately bargaining that if I write a blog about it maybe it can get unstuck??!!)
Speak to me
You're the only voice I want to hear
Walk with me
Show me who You are as I draw near
The irony that the line most stuck in my head as I have asked myself what God is saying to me is "Speak to me..." is not lost on me. Is God's voice the only voice I want to hear? And am I listening, really listening, to what He is saying? Am I digging into His word to draw near to Him?
If You're not in it
Then I don't want it
Let all else fade away
If You're not in it then I don't want it. What lies or half truths are we listening to? Are we checking to be sure that God is in it when we run towards it? In the midst of all of the noise of social media, the regular media, political, and personal jabber are we really listening to God? Are we simply asking Him to let the noise fade away because we know that's the "right" answer, but then later turning back on that noise? Or are we making the conscious choice to lean into His still small voice?
'Cause Your name is the only name that matters
And your heart is all that I desire
And not my will, but Yours alone forever
Here's my life, have Your way
Yes, this song has been stuck in my head. A constant reminder that I need to listen to Him, to lean into Him, to tune out the rest. Not my will, but Yours alone forever. Here's my life, have Your way.
