Lord take my life

This is a song I wrote while I was trying to figure out what to do at the end of my freshman year here at Union. I was struggling in my classes and not sure if I should still do theology but at the same time I had a couple offers to be a taskforce assistant chaplain at an academy.

Lord I don’t know what you’re telling me

But I know you’re telling me something

Oh Lord I don’t know what you want to do with me

But I know you want to do something

Lord take my life

Take me and teach me

Lord show me your will

And help me to follow it right

It doesn’t matter what you’re telling me

Or what it is you want me to do

Because you are my God and my Savior

I’d do anything for You

So Lord take my life

Take me and teach me

Lord show me your will

And help me to follow it right

I want to spread Your love to all people

And show them Your grace

So help me Lord to live each day

In a way that glorifies You

So Lord take my life

Take me and teach me

Lord show me your will

And help me to follow it right

Lord take my life

Take me and teach me

Lord show me your will

And help me to follow it right

Leviticus and Numbers

Leviticus and Numbers are two books that as a whole I sometimes wonder why they are in the Bible. There are things in both of them that I know are important. Devotionally I have always wonder what value there is in them.

Then I realized something. First it shows me that there are somethings God is very particular about and has told us how He wants them done. Secondly and more of the point that I have come to understand is that it's about spending time with Him.

Still not sure where I'm coming from? We all have friends in our lives that get really excited about things that we have absolutely no interest in, and sometimes even dislike. Despite are feelings toward hearing about these things or even sometimes doing them we do it anyway because we care about them and we care about those things because they do.

It's not a perfect parallel but for now I am satisfied in knowing that it's good for me to read those "boring" parts of the Bible, because they were important enough that God made sure they were put in there so I'm going to pay attention to them. I may not get a life lesson for the day but I'm still spending time with Him and that's what's important!
