In our series of living out a Greater Song I wrote last week about the difference between the primary melody (God’s voice and Word) and the countermelody (our lives). Our countermelody needs to be heard above the underscore (the noise of this world) but yet support the primary melody.
A few months ago I was traveling down the road with Logan in the backseat. The radio was singing some loud ‘80s tune. About the middle of the second chorus I heard another song. I turned off the radio to hear Logan singing a simple song called Treasure of My Heart. Needless to say the radio remained silent while I enjoyed my personal concert from my son. I listened because it was a greater song than what I was hearing.
Sometime we don’t know how to live our lives in harmony to God and His Word because we don’t hear from Him. He is there. We just block Him out at times. If we could control the noise of this world to we only hear the melody our God is playing then our lives can be a tune that others will want to hear.
My challenge to our ministry is to block out the noise of this world for a period of time while you listen to what God is telling us. As part of our Greater Song emphasis I want us to go on a media fast. Pray and think this week about what you can and are willing to cut out in order to hear from God. We will discuss more in detail next week.
