I'm Addicted
I am Addicted...
I am addicted to noise Every television, Dvr and Sonos music player must be blasting at all times
I am addicted to noise Like the volume button on my iPhone and second phone when my battery runs low on the first one
I am addicted to noise So I yell at my kids when they are quietly sitting in their rooms
"What y'all doing in there? You too quiet!" I yell.
It's too quiet quick where's my pandora or iheart radio?
Can you turn up the news what's the murder ratio?
I am addicted to noise.
So I argue with my spouse.
I need to hear myself think. "Y'all wanna go down to the skating rink?"
They jump up and are gone in a blink and I'm left at home alone with my thoughts about the sermon on Sunday that I can barely remember cause it was too quiet while the minister preached.
I am addicted to noise,
but I believe my spirit was reached cause this hell in me was breached and could almost decipher the voice of God but it was just beyond my reach because I'm not quite acquainted with the King.
I am addicted to noise
because if I calm down for a second His voice just might ring and say some things I ain't ready to hear.
So I gets drunk and smokes myself high so I can ignore the fear of my purpose.
And this noise that I... that we must have has hurt us.
And these tears too many times have burst up and outta me.
See I am addicted to noise,
because what I want to be is contrary to the nature of The King.
And I just may hear that I was made in His image.
And if I know God isn't a man that He should lie then I admit it, it's me.
Wanting to twist and turn this law He gave me; to be me.
I am addicted to noise
cause within it are untruths about how I want to live compared to how He told me.
I am addicted to noise,
because the power I possess is in the silent time that I spend with Him.
And if I ever get a glimpse of this Kingdom living I'd turn away from sin.
See it's not about religion but a relationship with Him. And my body is the temple of God so who am I laying down with?
And once you say yes to Jesus that's only the beginning of it.
And just because you traded in one sin for another doesn't mean you clear, so repent.
And yes God will give you grace but not after sin but to stay away from it.
Cause repenting isn't a religious act after your guilt sets in, but a decision of righteousness.
And yes we were all born into sin but all have the same choice not to stay in it.
And yes anything that has you acting out of your sin nature; stop playing with it.
Cause we know right from wrong even if no one prays, you get it.
Stop all of the noise and seek the Kingdom of God, don't peek in, get in it.
Jesus is the door but to life there is so much more how long will you be addicted?
(A moment of silence as you put to rest your sin.)
Prophetess L.A. Holts (Kingdom Living)
