the waiting room

Do you listen to Shane&Shane? I was listening to the song "Waiting Room" this morning and some of the lyrics really spoke to my heart.

Lord I know if I change my mind

You will change my heart in time
Sovereign Lord this time's from you
So I sit in the waiting room of silence


There are big decisions that must be made.
 We want to follow the Lord's leading, but sometimes it is hard to decipher His still small voice from the desires of my own heart. 
Is my faith big enough to follow God's leading?

Asking, seeking, listening for that still small voice, wishing it was more like a loud, booming thunder.
Is there anything that is keeping me from really hearing His voice?

I'm not holding hands with peace in this situation- yet.
Is it because it is not a desire of my heart [even though it might be the best thing right now] or is it the Lord saying, 

"Wait" 

"Trust Me"


Renew my mind. Change my heart. Speak to me. 
Help me to think about such things, to hear your voice, and obey.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Romans 12:2

I know that the Lord is interested in our heart/intention. 
He is looking at our hearts, searching our innermost thoughts, our motives. 
Is He pleased with what He finds? 
Does He see a heart desiring to seek, hear, and obey HIM?
A heart of faith?
Faith, from which action springs.

Even in the waiting room of silence [or uncertainty]
I will fix my heart on Jesus.
The One who knows-
Who sees what we cannot-
The Author and Perfecter.

If we change/renew/fix our minds on the Lord
He will do the transforming/healing/renovating work in our hearts.

"Search me, God, and know my heart; 



   test me and know my anxious thoughts. 
 See if there is any offensive way in me, 
   and lead me in the way everlasting."
Psalm 139:22-23
