“Give me You, everything else can wait”
is the first sentence to a song by Shana Wilson called Give Me You. The first
time I heard this song was at a Tye Tribbett concert 2 years ago right before
his new album Greater Than was released. The host church sang this song for
worship and I immediately fell in love with it because I’m all about slow
solemn worship songs. The song has been on my heart this whole week so
this morning I went into worship with this song just telling God what I truly
want. All I want and need is Him and that he should give me Him and let
everything wait. So basically in his discretion whatever that needs to wait in
my life He should make wait BUT giving me Him needs no wait because I WANT HIM.
I DESIRE HIM. I THIRST AND I HUNGER FOR HIM. Then He began to drop things in my
heart.
1. Telling
Him to let everything wait meant that I was telling God I trust in your timing
and so whenever you’re ready to give me other things, I’ll be ready but right
now let me be so focused on you that I won’t worry about other things. [Matthew
6:33] says “but seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these
things will be given to you” and when you read the verses before 33 you’ll find
out that “all these things” was referring to food, water, clothing, shelter so
basically things we need in life. And since the abundance of these will cause
us to lose focus on Him, He gives us just enough and in His time, causes us to
have in abundance in order to bless others.
2. It
also meant that everything I’m going through right now He sees fit for my
growth. So that test I’m going through right now or that situation which I
don’t understand right now, he deems it timely in my life. And so I realized
that He’s trying to do something in me right now so instead of fighting with
God about it, I rather chose to trust Him and say God I surrender to You and I
know You know what You’re doing and so I hope to pass the test and gain the
character growth You’re trying to achieve in me.
3. Thirdly,
He took my mind back to a verse I proclaim to be my favorite scripture in the
entire Bible; [Psalm 37:4] “Delight yourself in the Lord and He shall grant you
the desires of your heart”. This serves as a referral for me to God when I have
a desire. I always tell Him God I delight myself in you always and you said you
shall grant me the desires of my heart. Now a friend of mine in my band gave an
insight on that scripture that astounded me due to its truth and depth. He said
as you delight yourself in the Lord, He becomes what your heart truly desires
and so basically you’re asking God to give you Him when you ask him to give you
your hearts desire [insert praise break emoji here lol]. That spoke so much to
me and I realized how true that is, at least for my life.
So I challenge you today to go before God with
this prayer and see the realizations you make. Maybe you’re confused as to why you’re
in your current situation. Ask God to give you Him and let everything else wait
and see if that situation is trying to show you what you need to wait on. God
is for you and so know that everything He does is perfect. It might not be good
TO you but its good FOR you. Stay blessed and encouraged. His love for you is
absolutely relentless!
