How well can you describe your children?
Hopefully pretty well. Right? I mean you at least know their name...the sound of their voice...
Well... how well can you describe your creator? How WELL do you know Him?
Music speaks to the innermost part of my soul. For Christmas, Garrett got me the best present in the world. A radio for my kitchen. It picks up everything in the surrounding counties...and I love it. Its not new news to anyone that I spend...oh...probably 90% of my day in the kitchen. When one child is fed, the other is hungry. Dishes need washed, groceries put away, and then the next meal planned. Thus is the cycle of a Mommy. Or I should say, a home-maker. I cannot tell you how many times I turn the radio up to where the walls are almost shaking. Sometimes a song will just "get me" as I call it. And my soul wants to join every note in complete unison. The words, the beat in the music, everything. And sometimes it could have been a song that I heard 201 times before and it just didn't click until that moment. In the rush of life you don't always have quiet alone time with God like YOU would imagine it'd be. My prayer each week is, Holy Spirit, talk to me and I want to listen. God please show yourself to me in the most simple of ways. And lately it has been through music, because honestly I haven't had enough time in front of the Word. But I get it through the pastors on the radio and through music.
Today, the song "He Knows My Name" by Francesca Battistelli came on.
How many times have I heard it? Probably 202. And this time- it was the FIRST time I heard it.
Listen to the words-
"I wouldn't choose me first if
I was looking for a champion
In fact I'd understand if
You picked everyone before me
But that's just not my story
True to who You are
You saw my heart
And made something out of nothing, so
I don't need my name in lights
I'm famous in my Father's eyes
Make no mistake
He knows my name
I'm not living for applause
I'm already so adored
It's all His stage
He knows my name
He knows my name
I'm not meant to just stay quiet
I'm meant to be a lion
I'll roar beyond a song
With every moment that I've got
True to who You are
You saw my heart
And made something out of nothing
How many times do you feel like a roaring lion ready to "roar beyond the song with every moment that you've got"?
So...today....I'm going to roar.
Do you KNOW Him?
Can you describe Him, His voice, and His nature?
Just like you can your family?
And how much do you listen to the truth and know without a shadow of a doubt that it was truth?
If you don't, ask for it!
God made us something out of nothing. Who's to say that he can't use US to do that with everyone in the world? HE CAN!
Even our worst enemy, killers, sex offenders, nasty politicians...he can do it with anyone. He IS. And he DID in the Bible time and time again. The entire Bible is full of flawed men and women, those were the people Jesus was drawn to. It wasn't the people who thought they were perfect and looked down on others- it was the rude, the sick, the adulterers, etc. Complete hope for the hopeless. That hope should radiate out of us like beams of light blinding everyone in our path. If we all took a long thought about that, our outlook on other people would change from judging THEM to judging the unrighteousness...which in turn causes compassion. We will instantly want them to have the truth that we do. And how contagious that compassion is...in its rawest form. It roars within you like a lion ready to escape!
He knows my name, do you know His?
Blessings,
Kay

"So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth, it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent."
