The Mixer In My Head
I was worshiping at the piano in close proximity to my daughter who was doing her online homeschool history lesson. I was absorbed in musical worship thoughts when I heard her say, "Mom , Mom! Can you please stop for 30 seconds so I can hear the last part of this video?"
Before I had begun my worship, I had to subdue my thoughts about all of the business responsibilities that were looming over me and pulling me. I had to tell that voice, "No! I am going to give God my first time of the day!"
As I quieted my playing and came to a halt, I could hear the teaching video come to a close. The thought occurred to me, that at any given point, maybe there is a channel in my head that is the world's voice, the voice of reason and responsibility, there is the physical channel I hear of my children singing or often arguing, ;-) and the washing machine, and there is the quiet voice of the Holy Spirit calling me away or trying to get me to pay attention to an important word or point that would drastically affect the path of the day or future.
So at this moment, The Lord said, "Turn me up! Turn up the volume in your head that is my voice, my channel!" Don't let the other voices fade me out!"
Lesson learned, now to apply it....
