Word of God Speak

A few Sunday’s ago, I was in a funk as I was driving alone to church. For many reasons, I wasn’t in a good place that morning emotionally and spiritually. I was praying, trying to tell God where I was at, but it didn’t seem like I was getting any traction.

As I struggled, the song Word of God Speak by the group Mercy Me came on the radio. It’s a song I’ve heard dozens of times, but this time the words of the first verse pierced me:

I’m finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it’s okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

Whoah! I found myself chuckling at the timely message.

Yes, there are times to unload and get things off our chests. But in the end, being heard is not as important as hearing what God would say to us.

After pulling into our church parking lot, I took a few minutes alone in my car before heading in. Quieting my heart, I listened to that still small voice of the Spirit. What I heard rescued me. It wasn’t a lot, but it was just what my uncertain heart needed.

The song Word of God Speak goes on to say:

I’m finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

“Be still, and know that I am God”…Psalm 46:10.

    I found myself touched by a song also. I am not sure of the name but it said ‘what if your blessings come through raindrops, what if yoir healing comes through tears? What if a rhousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know you’re near?’ or close to that. My youngest daughter tried to commit suicide last week. It had been a very hard time since that and we are all trying to hear from God and receive His comfort and assurance that it won’t happen again. We don’t have that but I KNOW He is with me. Thank you for sharing that song Jeff. It helps me know I m not alone.

    Donna, sorry to hear about your youngest daughter…can only imagine how that has shaken your world as a parent…may you continue to have eyes to see and ears to hear the sights and sounds of Jesus’ presence.
