Move

This morning when the alarm went off (for the 3rd time) :) Switchfoot's song, Dare You To Move came on the radio. I have heard the song hundreds of times, but God allowed me to hear these lyrics with fresh ears this morning.

"...Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
What happens next?...
...Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before"

When I came into the bonus room, I picked up our copy of The Valley Of Vision and read The Mover (pg 12-13). God continued to speak.

"O Supreme Moving Cause,

May I always be subordinate to Thee,
be dependent on Thee,
be found in the path where Thou dost walk, and where Thy Spirit moves,
take heed of estrangement from Thee,
of becoming insensible to Thy love.

Thou dost not move men like stones,
but dost endue them with life,
not to enable them to move without Thee,
but in submission to Thee, The First Mover."

Lord, in You "we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28a). Let me see You move today so I can know where we are going. I will go with You.
