So I am one of those weird people who starts listening to Christmas music BEFORE Thanksgiving....I know I know ridiculous huh? I was driving back to Conway and I wanted a little pick me up music so I put on Mercy Me's Christmas Album and before I know it, God spoke to me right then and there.
Lately, I have been wondering about life in general. Where am I going? What am I doing with my life? Is this it? What does God have in store for me? Then as I was listening to the song Drummer Boy (one of my favorites) the lyrics "I'll play my best for you, I'll play my best for Christ" came on and immediately I was convicted. Am I playing my best for Christ? Am I living my life the best I can for Christ? I quickly realized that no I am not playing my best at all. At one point, yes I was, but recently I do not think I have been.
The next song that came on after Drummer Boy was I Heard The Bells, and immediately God spoke again. At one point the lyrics say, "I can hear you, I can hear you" and of course the lyrics are talking about hearing the bells, but I felt like God was saying "Carleigh, I can hear you. All the times you speak to me and wonder what is going to happen in your life, I just want you to know I can hear you, I promise, and if you just hold on a bit longer you will see what I have in store for you."
It is amazing what two Christmas songs can do in just a few minutes, and it is amazing how God can use two Christmas songs to speak such profound words. So I would like to remind you, just how God reminded me, that He does hear you, and I would like to challenge you to look at your life and see if you are playing your best for Christ.
