Who Is at the Forefront? (Cont'd)

We will continue to talk about who is at the forefront of your life.

I had a dream that I was captain of my soul.
(If we think that we are in control, we are sadly mistaken. I know 
that we want to have control of things in our life, but no matter
how hard we try, God controls everything.)
I was master of my fate, lost control, and then I sank.
(When we keep hold of the reins of our life, we steer ourselves 
in the wrong direction.)
So I don't want to take the lead Cause I'm prone to make mistakes. 
(A perfect God needs to have the leadership in our lives because
we are a sinful people and prone to make mistakes.)
All these folks that follow me gon' end up in the wrong place. 
(We need to follow after God, because He knows the only way
to get to Heaven and that is through Jesus Christ, His Son.)
So, just let me shadow You, and just let me trace Your lines. 
Matter of fact just take my pen. Here, You create my rhymes.
(He has given us the words to speak, and we are responsible to
speak words of edification. We need to speak His words to
guide people to Him.) 
Cause if I do this by myself I'm scared that I'll succeed.  
And no longer trust in You, cause I only trust in me. 
And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction. 
Paving a road to nowhere. Pour your life out for nothing. 
You pulled my card, I'm bluffing You know what's in my hand. 
Me, I just roll to trust You, You cause the dice to land.
(Anything we have done is known by God. It is all under God's
control.)   

I'm in control of nothing. Follow You at any cost. 
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is You the boss.  
And man I'm so at ease. I'm so content. 
I play the background like it's an instrument.

Let yourself be used of God, even though it may be the background part. He deserves to be at the forefront of your life.

Who Is At the Forefront?

I have heard this song by Lecrae, "Background", and it reminds me that I need to step out of the spotlight and let Christ be the main event. I have been given a gift and I need to share it. I am not the one that saves people, but I can direct them to the One that died for my salvation. Are you the one in the spotlight, or is Christ speaking through you to others?
Lets us take a look at verse one of Lecrae's song, 'Background'.
 
It's evident You run the show, so let me back down.
You take the leading role, and I'll play the background. 
(A life given to Christ has changed the roles on the stage.) 

I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines I'm sticking to Your script, 
And I'm reading all Your signs. 
(We are not perfect, and so we do make mistakes. God gave us His Word to live by, 
and that is the only way to live.)
I don't need my name in lights. 
I don't need a starring role. 
(The world has the wrong idea of popularity.)
And why gain the whole wide world, if I'm just gon' loose my soul. 
And my ways ain't purified, I'll live according to Your Word.
(Nothing compares to knowing that you have God's Word and His salvation.) 
 I can't endure this life without Your wisdom being heard. 
So word to every dancer for a pop star,  
Cause we all play the background, but mine's a Rock Star. Yeah.
(He deserves every word of praise, and He leads me everyday.)
So if you need me I'll be stage right. 
Prayin' the whole world will start embracing stage fright. 
(Christ, You are the Leader of my life.)
So let me fall back and stop giving my suggestions 
Cause when I follow my obsessions I end up confessing.  
That I'm not that impressive, matter of fact I'm who I are.  
A trail of star dust leading to the Superstar. 
(It makes you feel miniscule when you think about it. I am thankful
that God considered me to be used of Him.)
