I love music. What I most love about music or songs are the lyrics. In the song below (the title is the link to the youtube video so you can listen to it as well) the part "Consuming fire, burn deep within, overtake my heart and burn in me once again" is very significant to me, and something that I am learning.
In the greek, and I believe it's also true about the hebrew word for heart, heart means (mind, inner will.) This song, this prayer is asking for God to come as a fire, and to consume this man's own will. Only when our own will is laid down, can God burn and really ablaze inside of us. It's only then that he truly has room to work.
A couple from our church came and had dinner with us two nights ago. I was happy to have the companionship, but when I also saw they brought their Bibles I got excited. (Good physical food and then also spiritual food!)
The husband talked about how we are in the desert, just like the israelites. I have heard this story so many times, but I kept on listening and the follow thing that he said opened my eyes to one of my many blunders. He said: the israelites' problem is that they were focusing on their own needs. Even when the devil tempted Jesus in the desert, he tempted Him according to His needs. Our temptation as we are going through hard times is to focus on ourselves, to focus on our needs. It may seem necessary to us, but to be quite honest, it keeps us isolated and self-focused.
This victim mentality cripples so many Christians nowadays, blinding us to the freedom found in the Bible. A freedom and truth that goes against our worldly advices and says: forget about yourselves.
I have experienced so much freedom the past couple of days as I have gotten up out of bed and said: I will not serve myself today. I will serve You.
Who would have thought that such joy is found in forgetting about oneself and his/her problems?
God :)
I love how his own wisdom is above our own comprehension.
Enjoy!
May my life be a reflection
of Your power and Your glory
breathing in the breath of Heaven
leaning in to hear Your heart beat
And my heart, my thoughts, my mind, Lord
they are Yours now and forever
Come and do in me your will and,
I'll be Yours today forever
Consuming fire burn deep within
Overtake my heart, and burn in me once again
And I give You all my days Lord
all my joys and all my sorrows
and the plans that I have dreamed of
holding back for Yours to follow
May my mouth be full of blessings
Lord I want to speak with Your words
may Your spirit light my pathway
take my life today, forever
Cause all I wanna do is please You
be the Ruler of my world and
take away the things that blind me
all I want is to live for You...
