I was on the way to work yesterday and really needed a word from God. Now, while I don't recommend the FM radio over the Bible, sometimes I do believe God speaks to us through the radio. After all, He put talent into musicians for the purpose of speaking His truth and praising Him, even though many of them don't acknowledge that or use their talents for Him. Still, sometimes they write songs for Him in spite of themselves. And this time He sent one of those my way:
And the men who hold high places
Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart, closer to the heart
The blacksmith and the artist
Reflect it in their art
They forge their creativity
Closer to the heart, yes closer to the heart
Philosophers and plowmmen
Each must know his part
To sow a new mentality
Closer to the heart, well closer to the heart
You can be the Captain
And I will draw the chart
Sailing into destiny
Closer to the heart, yes closer to the heart
I said closer to the heart, yeah closer to the heart
Closer to Your heart, I said closer to Your heart.
(Thanks to Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Peter Talbot, and Neil Peart for writing that, and to God for inspiring them. Sometimes I dig me some Rush.)
Anywho, this seemed to be a recurring theme for the night. I spent the next 12 hours at work and listened to two podcasts I'd downloaded. They were by my good friends Wunderkraut and his brother-in-law Jon. WK was preaching on stepping into your destiny, while Jon was talking about love. It all tied together in my spirit and really ministered to me. Add to the mix a new book I've been reading called "Tally Ho the Fox", given to me by my good friend Phil J, and I was more than ministered to, I was also inspired. There has to be more to our lives than just making a living. We have to love people, achieve our destinies, and make a difference.
God let that be true for my life.
