For those of you who know me real well you know that my ipod collection is very eclectic.  I have everything from heavier rock to hip-hop to soul to contemporary.  Now all of the music is Christian and I literally listen to it all depending what mood I am in at the time.  So with that being said I was intrigued when I read a blog by a friend of mine  about Jimmy Needham, an artist that is coming more and more onto the scene and has a great sound that is also lyrically stimulating.  One of the songs that I love on the album is titled “Hurricane” and here is why I love it.  Read the lyrics to the chorus below:

I need You like a hurricane
Thunder crashing, wind and rain
To tear my walls down
I’m only Yours now
I need you like a burning flame
A wild fire untamed
To burn these walls down
I’m only Yours now
I’m only Yours now

This is a simple plea as a child of God to have God come into your life and turn everything that is worldly and of the flesh into rubble and to take what is left and build a mighty man or woman of God.  So today’s post is simple and to the point, ending with a set of questions.  And remember you are not the only one who knows the answers because God knows it as well.

1. Are you running from or toward Christ today?
2. Are you living torn down or behind your walls?
3. Do you need a Hurricane?
