I’m sure I’m not the only person who gets an unwanted song in their head. Lately there have been a couple of radio hits that have clung to my brain and the chorus will repeat itself over and over again. Grrrr. These aren’t songs that I like or listen to, but all it takes is one little reminder of it and BAM, it’s stuck there. Once I had a friend that said he sings the smurf song to get rid of the unwanted tunes...you know...la la lalalala la lala la la. He said it was like Teflon, it didn’t stick. It worked. However since then I’ve tried another song.
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His word.
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know thus saith the Lord.
Jesus, Jesus how I trust Him
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus
Oh for grace to trust Him more.
This song has been such a great comfort and reminder for me. It reminds me to fill my head with His truth, and to believe it. To live like I believe it. Not just sing it in my head, but to walk it out loud. Does my life prove His faithfulness to others? Am I giving Him the credit for all that is due? Why don’t I trust Him more? Why don’t I trust Him first instead of calling a friend or ignoring my problem and watching TV or reading a book?
We also sing the song that says “He is jealous for me”. In my Beth Moore Breaking Free homework is says that “Godly jealousy is to be jealous for someone for her highest good”. Let’s listen to what we are singing, and see if it is true to our lives, or just words. If He is for my highest good, and if He is a God who keeps his promises, than it truly is sweet to trust in Jesus.

so it had been a while since i've stop by to read your blog (or mine for that matter) and to my surprise you make a reference of me! Ha ha ha. What's funny is with the first couple lines i was thinking to myself is "i wonder if she's thought of a teflon of songs for herself?" But alas you have but to be sure it's better than a teflon because it actually clings not to your mind but your heart as well!! So cool! I of course feel lame for thinking the Smurf's theme song is helpful, but tis true about Christ's word being able to trust him. When you quote this song I here i think of BY THE TREE singing "WAIT". Good stuff! Great reminder to not just get the bad, lame or detracting music or even things out but to have them replaced by the Song of God aka Christ's life as our life which becomes the song we sing.
the smurf song still comes in handy and works mark! :)
