My Will

D.C. Talk has a song called, “My Will”. The first look—or listen—at this title might make us inclined to think that we need to give up our will so that we can accomplish God’s will. This is sometimes true. But what if our will is to praise our God? Read carefully the chorus lyrics to this song, ‘It’s my will, and I’m not moving. And if it’s Your will, nothing can shake me. It’s my will to bow and praise you. Now I have a will to praise my God.’ Now read Psalm 148. We need to praise our God. As Psalm also says in chapter 67, ‘let all the peoples praise You.’

Why, you say, should we praise God? That’s easy: he bought us on the cross at Calvary; He judges the people righteously; He created everything around us; He first loved us; He provides for our every need, and sometimes our wants; the list goes on forever.

The important thing is that we align our will with God’s. When we do this, what D.C. Talk said is really true: ‘Nothing can shake me.’
