It seems that most mornings when I wake up I become aware of a song going through my head. It’s one of those things where a few words are stuck on rewind and the same words keep playing over and over. Most of the time it turns out to be a song I listened to the day before. I rarely listen to the radio because of all the talking and advertisements between songs, so if I listen to anything at all while driving during the day it‘s a cd of some sort. And, when I listen to a cd I tend to listen to it several times before changing to another. After doing that all day I will wake up the next morning hearing one of the songs I listened to the day before.

This morning I awoke with a song playing, but it wasn’t a song I listened to yesterday. I don’t even remember the last time we sang it at church. So I got to wondering where it had come from, or why am I conscious of that song this morning? Now to be honest I think a person can drive themselves crazy trying to find the answers to questions like that.  However, I do wonder if I get reminded by songs, sights, or even scents that I have a commitment to Lord, and I need to be aware of that for some special reason today?

This morning these words were playing in my head: Your only Son no sin to hide, but you have sent Him from Your side to walk upon this guilty sod and to become the Lamb of God. O Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God, I love the holy Lamb of God, O wash me in His precious blood, My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. (Lamb of God words and music by Twila Paris, 1985)

 I’m not going to over analyze this in an effort to make it mean something it doesn’t, or turn it into one of those “WOW” moments, but I do believe that sometime today, if I will allow it too, that song may prevent me doing, or saying, or thinking something I shouldn’t. Could it be that the Spirit of God that indwells me has brought that specific song to my consciousness this morning so I’ll stand firm today when I am tempted to stray?

Till next time,
