Let’s Talk About Jesus!

Have you ever talked so much nonsense that you felt your mouth could be compared to a running faucet?

“Lord, just turn it off.” I prayed. Instead, I just kept talking – lending my own ridiculous commentary to something that was a complete non-issue. By the time I was done all I could think was, “Lord, why didn’t I just shut up?”

That’s when I remembered the lyrics to a song called “Let’s Talk About Jesus” by Terry Clark.

Let’s Talk About Jesus

Too many empty words filling my world up
So many times I’ve wondered, “Why did I speak?”
But there’s one thing worth talkin’ about
Yes, there’s one thing always worth talkin’ about

Let’s talk about Jesus
And how he saved us all
His plan, His design
Have you heard his call

Let’s talk about Jesus
What is on his mind
His dreams, His desires
What are the signs of his coming
Oh, He’s coming

So many people love the sound of their own voices
Drowning out the sound of life singing to thee
But there’s one thing worth talkin’ about
Yes, there’s one thing always worth talkin’ about

Let’s talk about Jesus
And how he saved us all
His plan, His design
Have you heard his call

Let’s talk about Jesus
What is on his mind
His dreams, His desires
What are the signs of his coming
Oh, He’s coming

Jesus, I long to see your face
Open my eyes I pray
This empty soul is thirsty for your touch
Change my heart
Change my heart

Now, I’d love to say a few more words, but in the spirit of keeping my mouth shut, I think the song says it all: Let’s talk about Jesus!

He Reigns!

“Never dread any consequence resulting from absolute obedience to His command. Never fear the rough waters ahead, which through their proud contempt impede our progress. God is greater than the roar of raging waters and the mighty waves of the seas. “The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord is enthroned as King forever: (Psalms 29:10). A storm is simply the hem of His robe, the sign of His coming, and the evidence of His presence.”

“Dare to trust Him! Dare to follow Him! Then discover that the forces the blocked your progress and threatened your life become at His command the very materials He uses to build your street of freedom.” FB Meyer
