This morning I lead worship at church. I love leading people in worshipping the Creator of the Universe. As we finished our worship set I went and sat down by my wife. Sitting there God spoke to me. I have to say that God doesn’t always speak so clearly to me as He did this morning.
I led four very powerful songs that talked about who God is. One song about being Beautiful another about Him being mighty to save, and another about Him being a Healer. As I was sitting there in my comfy little church seat God said to me, “all of those songs are great, but you’re not living like I am all of those things”. I have to admit that I was completely cut to the quick. He is so right. After I thought about it for a few minutes it became strikingly clear to me that God was completely right. I have not been living like God is a healer, mighty to save, or beautiful. I have been living as though God is Beautiful, Mighty to Save, and a Healer on Sunday and then come Monday I go back to living my own way.
This is not to say that I live an awful life away from church, I just don’t think about God or talk to Him as much as I know He wants me to. My relationship with God has been for the most part silent over the last few weeks. Until today that is when He broke in and gave me this revelation.
It is so easy to get comfortable living own little world in my own little life that I start thinking that I can do it on my own. When the reality is that I am nothing more than dead without Christ. When I gave my life to Christ I was saying that I want this relationship with You. I am Your child and I want You to be my Father and my Friend.
This is just one more time in my life that God spoke softly into my life and woke me up to continue my relationship with Him. I was reminded today that my relationship with God is allot of work and that I need to continue to work harder than ever to keep from becoming complacent.
