The Eleventh Hour
I’ve wielded this song-sword many times. “I won’t give up on giving You the chance to blow my mind.”
Stewardship is a Lifestyle
I’ve wielded this song-sword many times. “I won’t give up on giving You the chance to blow my mind.”
I’ve been playing this song, over and over, recently. Its lyrics have nothing to do with demanding answers. This song is just about putting everyone in their proper places.
When God says, “A new season’s coming,” we tend to put our own spin on what that means. What He meant and what I thought He meant were two COMPLETELY different things!
I’d love to hear thousands of voices singing this praise at the top of their lungs. Can you imagine?
I think, before I go further in my story, I need to explain what I believe God asked of me when He called me. And yes, it was a call on my life, and not just one task. If you don’t understand this, you likely won’t understand why I’ve made the some of the decisions I’ve made in the ensuing years.
Our spending habits reflect where our heart is. God tells us that the earth and everything in it is His. Once we understand that God owns it all, we can start living that way.
When Jesus was on the cross, there were two thieves on either side of Him. I’ve heard the story hundreds of times. Heard plenty of sermons on it, too. All the sermons and all my thoughts centered on how one of the bad guy thieves got to go to Paradise, in spite of what he’d done. Nothing wrong with that message but, for some reason, one day as I listened to this song, another perspective jumped up in my face and took my breath away.
I was listening to this song as I drove in to work one morning, and it felt like God was saying, “I’m singing this to you.”
I had just started a new job. The first week I was at the job, everything was … different. The difference was with me, internally. Like He flipped a switch, and suddenly I was aware of a dimension I’d believed in all my life, but never actually experienced.
