Word of God Speak

The other day I had a reader, Tokako, and everything was going as normal. I had prayed a lot previously that God would use me to do His work. I had thought a lot about the saying "let your words be said, God, and not my own" and had wondered if this really happens. I mean, does this just mean that we are going to speak about God or does it mean that He will take over my mind and mouth and we will not realize what we are saying. I wanted to know how He was going to do this and if He had been doing this with me or if I was still taking control.

Tokako has been studying diligently and I enjoy getting the chance to read God's word with her. In this lesson she had many questions that could not be answered within our text so I was left with a choice: tell her the answer or show her the answer with scripture. She was asking about how we pray and who are we praying to. Instantly, I knew what I wanted to look for and as I opened my Bible there it was on the first page i turned to. Wow, i thought, how lucky! As I showed her the words of God she then proceeded to ask me another question about how those in the Old Testament communicated with God since they did not have Jesus as the mediator. I then went to search the scriptures to find an example where God spoke to Moses on the mountain or wrote on stone and as I opened my bible, THERE IT WAS! Huh, that's crazy... 2 for 2, i thought. As we continued she began to ask more questions and God continued to amaze me. For the third time she asked a question and as I opened the word of God he revealed the answer on the first page.

When Tokako walked away from this class I sat my head down and cried with a loss of words to even explain why. I was so overwhelmed by the surpassing greatness and power of God along with the humbling idea that He lead me. He truly spoke to Tokako and me both in words louder than I could have ever done. The song "Word of God Speak" (by MercyMe) brings a whole new meaning to my life and hits me each time I hear it. I love knowing that He is in control and with every move I make I am unknowingly walking in the direction he has designed for me.
Here are the words to the song, hope you enjoy and are blessed by it:

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay

In Christ Alone,
