CAUGHT in (me) the MIDDLE....

Songs inspire me. Songs speak to me. Songs cause me to reflect. I love songs. I have no doubt that God uses songs, singers, musicians, and songwriters as an avenue for His word to be understood and proclaimed. I have had one of those moment today as I sat at my desk doing some paperwork.

Do you ever feel caught in the middle? Caught between what you want to do and what you know God has planned for you? I find myself trying to "balance" my life between the world and all the things in it and what God's will is. I find myself trying to look good and say the right things when I know they are not the issues I need to be focused on. I find myself caught between my "normal" everyday life and my "spiritual" life/walk with God. I find out daily that I have it ALL WRONG! Being caught in the middle STINKS! Being caught in the middle is not fun at all, because I find myself trying to please two sides. And that is IMPOSSIBLE. You cannot do it. It can't be done.

One of my biggest struggles is feeling that I have to be in control. Yet, I find myself more out of control when I am caught in the middle. Funny, huh? When I think I am in control the most, I find out I am losing my grip! I don't want to be caught in the middle. I don't want to be between "the altar and door," as the song says!

If you would, please click on the link at listen to this song. Allow God to speak to you through it. Allow God to meet you through the words. Allow yourself to come closer to God in this instance. Get out of the middle!

"So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth." Revelation 3:16
