Inner Voice

Many of us are on a quest for self-discovery, for self-expression, to find our own truth. We try to listen to our inner voice, to march to our own personal rhythm.

After a few decades of searching, I discovered something. If I listened carefully, I could hear God’s voice beyond my own inner voice. God’s truth, His rhythm, is much stronger than my own. Self-expression pales in comparison to God-expression.

Lately, one of my favorite songs has been “Word of God Speak” by MercyMe. The lyrics are below:
I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice
