Looking Right
A story goes:
Once there was a man who dared God to speak:Burn the bush like you did for Moses,God.And I will follow.Collapse the walls like you did for Joshua,God.And I will fight.Still the waves like you did on Galilee,God.And I will listen.
And so the man sat by a bush,near a wall,close to the sea and waited for God to speak.
And God heard the man,so God answered.He sent fire,not for a bush,but for a church.He brought down a wall,not of bricks,but of sin.He stilled a storm,not of the sea,but of a soul.
And God waited for the man to respond.And He waited...and waited.
But because the man was looking at bushes,not hearts;bricks and not lives;seas and not souls,he decided that God had done nothing.
Finally he turned to God and asked,Have you lost your power?
And God turned to him and said,Have you lost your sense of hearing,sight and felt?Have you lost your heart?
many times,we are like the man,looking for the right things but in the wrong perspective and place.And when we do not find what we set out to find,we grumble and complain and ask God if He still cared.But God's reply is,My son/daughter,here i am,seek me and you'll find me.You see,we can be caught up in so many things that we think will lead us to experience more of God that we lose our purpose in doing things.We can be caught up in serving a lot but sometimes all we want is to receive recgonition for our work from our leaders and not from God.Starting today,seek not recgonition from your leaders,but seek to gain recgonition from God himself.
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You
(Repeat)
To see You high and lifted up
Shining in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy
High and lifted up
Shining in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
