I was challenged this week by the something simple. Does my life look the same as the songs I sing?
I sing about loving God, following Him, honoring Him, respecting Him, needing Him, praising only Him….and on and on. When I look at my life, is it consistent with the truths and virtues of which I sing?
As I look at the “Church” , my family, my friends etc. I am convicted by this question. If asked, would they say my life looked the same as the lyrics of these songs? If ever there was a time in my life, it’s now that I want to know that I’m living for something. I’m so tired of empty words and false hopes. I don’t want my life to be empty like the bottom of so many coffee cups left behind after church.
How do I really “live” in the truths I sing about? How do they live in me? Is it obvious to others? Is it powerful and does it impact my own life and love of God? Does it impact the people I share lifes moments with?
I’m going to examine this in the next few weeks. I’ll post what I learn.
Until then.
