"No Other Way"

No Other Name - Unhindered

Teach my eyes to recognize You
Teach my lips to glorify You
Guide my feet so I can find You
Wherever You are
Be my way, I'm lost without you
Be my light, shining through my every breath
My every move, till every thought is You

One day every knee will bow
To the
God of Glory, the Lord most Holy
Emmanuel
Giver of Life, Light of the world
And there's no other name
Worthy of praise but Yours

Teach my eyes to recognize You
Teach my lips to glorify You
Guide my feet so I can find You
Wherever You are

One day every knee will bow
And one day every tongue will confess
You're the
God of Glory, the Lord most Holy
Emmanuel
Giver of Life, Light of the world
There's no other name
Worthy of praise but Yours

Jesus, there's no other name but Yours
Jesus

You're the
God of Glory, the Lord most Holy
Emmanuel
God of Glory, the Lord most Holy
Emmanuel
Giver of Life, Light of the world
And there's no other name
Worthy of praise, oh there's no other name
Worthy of praise but Yours
There's no other name but Yours

In my room every morning and evening, in my car, at school, at church, everywhere I go, I think..."there has to be a different way or better way of doing this and that.  It could go anywhere from thinking about the fast I'm on, to what my schedule is that day or week.

After this past weekend, I've learned so much from helping at PennDel Youth Convention.  I heard many great songs played by the band UNHINDERED and they gave God the glory in it.  Robert Madu, the speaker, a quote of his was, "When your experience doesn't line up with your expectation, that gives the Holy Spirit room to work in us."

We need to think more along the lines of that.

If you've ever come to a fork in the road and aren't sure which way to take, what path do you take?  What are the precautions you take to get there?

I think to many times people look to much into what the want.  They want it THEIR way and not exactly GOD'S way.  So how do we fix this?

We must go in God's way all the time.  It is because of him sending down his son Jesus Christ to die for us on the cross that we must follow the Lord.  It's not about what we exactly want, or what we choose to do with how we form our lives, but it's because of God's love we are free.  We are free from condemnation when we repent and ask God to change us.  We can't let things hold us back, just like the song says from Jesus Culture.

One way I've learned this year that it's not my way but God's way it through the different fasts I've done.  Not just through fasting different things but through taking the time to listen to music such as, No Other Name - Unhindered.  There is something so powerful I love about the song.  It talks about asking God to guide us in our everyday life form.  In the song, we sing about asking God to teach our eyes to recognize him, and our lips to glorify him.

We need to remember and think clearly on the steps we take to get to where we should go.  We can't cheat, make it easier, take a different route necessarily but it's about asking for God's guidance, because He promises to never leave or forsake us.  We can fully trust him, because he IS the only way, there's no other name but His name!
