hmmm... probably worship... songs... church... relationships... my kids... God... my marriage... my home... my job... obligations and commitments... projects...
All these topics have subtopics and under those more topics.
The only thing in the list that should consume my mind is God and having a relationship with Him. He then subtopics all those in the right place at the right time... but that's not really how it works. I think about how to improve or perform at my utmost excellence everything I do and then add His opinion in when needed. At one point or another, I was taught that as a Christian, that's what we do. There was a line I heard recently that said "And even when i don't know what to do, I'll cast all my cares upon you" and let me tell you, crying out to God in times of need haven't been to much of a problem for me... it's all the other times. Casting my cares when I have plenty of ideas of what I could do but those idea's may not be the Lord's will or the most direct path to the best thing for my life. God doesn't want me to petition His opinion when I don't know what to do, He wants me to talk to Him about everything so that He can help me choose the best path to go down even when it looks like it's not the best. It is because He said it is. But do I trust Him? EVEN WHEN CIRCUMSTANCES OR SURROUNDINGS
SHOW ME DIFFERENTLY, I will trust him.
*I am not saying that I dislike that song, I am merely pointing out what the Lord showed me during it. It is a great song to encourage someone willing to lay down their pride that God is there to help.
From Bondage: I cry out to the Lord when my heart is heavy and think about His opinion when I can't handle what I have.
To Freedom: I keep my eyes on the Lord at ALL times, and He will direct my path bad AND good... plus the above ;)
ps- This one is gonna take awhile to get down to my heart. I want it, but choosing to think on the Lord when it's so easy to think on other things is difficult sometimes. God help me, I need it.
