"My heart will sing no other name than Jesus."
From the song Forever Reign
I haven't heard such good theology in such a small sentence in a
while. If I put this into practice how different would the world
become to me. I think there is no question that this is the call of
God over our lives, but we don't live up to it.
We often talk about making God the center of our lives, but do we do
anything. I've said this in the past but it was more lipservice than
heart. To me it meant have a quiet time each day, and maybe try to
pray a little more. Lately I've learned this is just an excuse to
keep trying to live my life. No, to make God center of my life is to
change it all. I get up early to spend time with him because that's
what I desire, not what I feel I should so. Then I work because that
pleases him. I don't get angry with others because I am focused on
Gods love and not my petty worldly problems. I share with others
because of the joy in me from my king. I'm more patient with my family
because I know the problems I deal with are insignificant against the
creator of the universe.
My heart will not sing of money, or food, or my career, or books, or
movies, or even of missions whether try be feeding the poor or sharing
the gospel. My heart will only sing of Jesus, and my every action
reflects upon that desire of my heart.
