God You Reign

Sunday night I was having rehearsal at the church with some of the Praise Team to get ready for next weekend. Most of the time, we rework some songs that we have done in the past to refresh our memory, and then there may be a new song to introduce to the Team....and hopefully to the church. This was one of those rehearsals.

I had heard a new song called, "God You Reign", and thought that this could be a do-able song for the church......it has a chorus that seems simple in the phrasing.....but what is said, and what is sung just surrounds you with a major truth.......God....You Reign!! And, as we rehearsed it and rehearsed it and rehearsed it, that statement got stronger and stronger. 24 hours later; I can still hear it in my head. We know that God is in control, but do we understand what it means for Him to reign in our lives? I understand the "control" that God has in my life; how He cares for me; how He guides me; watches over me; teaches me; challenges me. He is with me every step of the way, but.........what does it look like for Him to "reign" in my life?

The best way that I can think of to answer that question is this.......for God to be in "control" of my life means that He is in charge of everything, and I am His servant. For God to "reign" in my life means that He is King of everything, and I not only serve Him, but I worship Him with everything that I have.....my whole being. That is why I was created......to worship Him for who He is and what He has done. That is why you were created. That is why we were created.

God You Reign
