Have you ever awoken to the words "Oh Lord, forgive the times I tried to read Your mind. Cause you said if I'd be still then I would hear Your voice"? Yeah, if God was ever trying to get my attention, well that would be the way to do it. Actually that IS what happened just a while ago. Those words from one of my favorite Keith Green songs just cut my heart. It's amazing how something as simple as a single line of lyrics can be so convicting. You can feel God's spirit just pulsing through the veins of his music, and each time it brings new meaning to you. I'm so tired of trying to do things on my own strength, trying to "figure out my own life." Or even worse, hoping that my loved ones will make these important decisions for me. There is only One Who I need to depend on to guide my decisions, and sadly, so often He is the last one I come to for help. But I can't live that way any longer, I never should have tried to in the first place. So I take these two lines and make them my prayer right now. And I'll keep trying to live only for Him.
