I get asked pretty often how to keep God in my life every minute of every day. For me, it's an easy answer. First is prayer. You can NEVER pray enough.
Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
Second is Praise! You can NEVER praise God enough!
Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
Third is Worship through song! You can NEVER worship enough!
( This is my favorite and my daily reminder of God every minute of every day. On my computer, in my headphones, in my car and in my house. ALWAYS! )
“Sing praises to the Lord, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth.
Sometimes in my office I hear a song and immediately stop what I am doing and just say WOW! Most of the songs I listen to are from Christian artists. But I also find great lyrics to relate to my life or to God through all music. You just need to listen to the words! Following are some of my favorite lyrics from some of my favorite songs.
- Farther Along by Josh Garrells - "Temped and Tried, I wondered why, The good man dies, the bad man thrives and Jesus cries because he loves them both!"
- All I Am by Phil Wickham - "I give you all my life, I'm letting it go, A living sacrifice no longer my ow, All I am is Yours!"
- Lord I Need You by Chris Tomlin - "Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more, Where grace is found is where You are, And where You are Lord I AM FREE, Holiness is Christ in me!"
- I Can Only Imagine by MercyMe - "Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel? Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still? Will I stand in your presence or the my knees will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all? I CAN ONLY IMAGINE!"
- Tug of War by Andy Mineo - "It's so clear and now it's painfully apparent, That I can't have my sin and Savior they're not for sharing! ANYTHING THAT I LOSE TO FOLLOW YOU IS NOT A LOSS!"
So through song, friends, prayer, praise and always remembering that it's Christ first, I can keep him in my life every minute of every day and live the life HE wants me to live! So if you wanna join me, I have one last song. It's not a Christian song, and one you probably wouldn't think I listen to. But the clean version and the lyrics are amazing. So if you're ready...here we go....who can guess the song?..........
"I'm not afraid to take a stand,
Everybody, come take my hand.
Will walk this road together Through the storm,
What ever weather
Just letting you know, You're not alone,
Holla if you feel like You've been down the same road!"
This is the song I listened to 53 days ago! Now's here's the part where I decided to change my life!
"And I just can't keep living this way
So starting today
I'm breaking out of this cage
I'm standing up to face my demons
I'm manning up
I'ma hold my ground
I've had enough Now I'm so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now!
As always, thanks for listening to me ramble on! Our God is an amazing God. And let me make this perfectly clear: My intentions are not to convert anyone to Christianity. If you are a Catholic or any other religion and may have lost your relationship with God or your church, I'm trying to inspire you to find YOUR GOD! It is so important to have Christ in our lives! In Christ alone my hope is found, he is my light, my strength, my song......my comforter, my all in all! So today, here in the love of Christ I stand!
