I am writing Today’s Message In the Music, because My Baby Tracy Koweh, Was Under The Weather
Who Are You Keeping Time With?
Psalm 27:4 (Amplified Bible)
4One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple.
Today’s message in the music comes from Eric Benet’s song “Spend My Life With You”. This song is sung as a duet between Eric Benet and a female artist. In this song they are doing a comparison of sorts between life before and after they found each other and the love that came with that connection. They express the fact that “they never knew,” such a love could be, and the attributes that this type of love brings. The line that caught my ear was the hook or chorus, which says, “Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes, and can I feel your heart beat beside me every night. Can I feel this way until the end of all time; can I just spend my life with you?”
We focus in on so many things in life. We spend an enormous amount of time at work and doing the things that we deem important to get the job done or the task at hand accomplished, (and for many of us we don’t even like our jobs, let alone love them). But yet we say we love God and we spend little to no time with Him. Many of us lack the very knowledge of who he is and the intent of His heart towards us. We spend time going through the motions in life and even in our relationship with God. But when we find truth of the love of God and the value that is in Him. The realization that God’s love offers us a life changing love, one that strengthens us, and gives us everything we can possibly need; it should make us want to feign after it and the individual giving it to us. Our desire should be to want to spend as much time basking in that kind of love and what it holds for us as we can. But we don’t, instead we are running after things that don’t mean much or holds temporary value. Our desire should be such, that we hunger and thirst for God’s love in such a way that we need it to sustain us, that we crave to feel it every waking hour of every day; it should have eternal value. It should be the type of love that is so real and evident that it can not be contained but it is evident in the way we deal with others and how we show them who we belong to.
As we begin the work we ask yourself these question, when, I wake what is the first thing on my mind and who do I want to spend time with? When I go to bed at night who is the last person I think of? What love is the biggest desire for me to obtain? Who is getting most of my time and energy? For where you are expending all of that time, energy and effort is who or what has you.
