It is SO easy to fill our lives with everything other than God. I posted a couple weeks ago about wanting to be satisfied fully in Christ. I didn't realize at the time that that was just the beginning of God showing me how much I NEED to be satisfied in Christ alone. God has been using my bible study to show me the other things I am trying to fill my life with. He is still teaching me and preparing me....I kind of feel like it is the calm before the storm. He is beginning to make me aware of areas that need work...and pretty soon he is going to begin telling me to break down those strongholds. It is scary looking into it, like the way I picture the Egyptians feeling as they saw the Red Sea part and were like "You want me to walk through WHERE!!" I know greatness is on the other side of the sea, I just to not be afraid to take the first step. I downloaded this song today and know that it will help me begin to break down the strongholds. Empty me Lord so I can be filled with YOU...no matter what that means.
Empty Me - Chris Sligh
I've had just enough of the spotlight when it burns bright
To see how it gets in the blood.
And I've tasted my share of the sweet life and the wild ride
And found a little is not quite enough.
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change.
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.
I've seen just enough of the quick buys of the best lies
To know how prodigals can be drawn away.
I know how I can stray
And how fast my heart could change.
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.
Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to you, compared to you.
Cause everything is a lesser thing
Compared to you so why surrender all?
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
Empty me of the selfishness inside
Every vain ambition and the poison of my pride
And any foolish thing my heart holds to
Lord empty me of me so I can be Lord empty me of me so I can be filled with you.
Oh, filled with you.
Empty me.
