In our series of living out a Greater Song I wrote how difficult it could be to hear the primary melody in our lives. The primary melody is God’s voice, His word and direction. This is drowned out by the noise of this world. If we could control the noise of this world to where we only hear the melody our God is playing then our lives can be a tune that others will want to hear.
I’m encouraging our Worship Arts Ministry to go on a media fast. Fasting is a Biblical act of abstaining from food to deny self and focus on the will of God. I’m asking us to abstain from types of media in order to deny self and hear the voice of God. Media could include the following: TV shows / Radio / Talk Radio / The News / iPod / CDs.
During this fast you decide what media to fast and how long the fast will last. The time that you normally spend listening to your usual media I encourage you to focus on the voice of God. Instead of listening to an iPod during your work out listen to the voice of God. Instead of tuning into talk radio listen to the voice of God. Instead of watching that favorite show go outside and listen to the voice of God.
His voice is the primary melody. Our Greater Song life must be in tune with His voice. These articles are posted on our blog at www.cfbcworship.blogspot.com. Feel free to make comments from your media fast experience.

This sounds arrogant, but I don't need a media fast. But in looking at the word "MEDIA" I see something that I do need to fast from and that is "me". The more I focus on me and less on God, the weaker my greater song becomes. How can I hear the voice of God when I spend all my time focusing on talking?
