Dig Down Deeper

Once again Jesus is trying to get my attention.  Once again He uses a secular song to do so.

There's another song called "Dig Down Deeper" that plays on the movie "Secret Wings".  Once again I've heard it plenty, but never paid a lot of attention to the lyrics.  And... once again, it started playing and I sensed Jesus telling me to pay attention to the lyrics.

I sensed that I am to Dig Down Deeper.  Remember my post about thirst?  About Drinking Deep?  We also need to Dig Deep.  Deeper into what He is telling us.  Deeper into our prayers.  When I actually paid attention to the lyrics, I was amazed.  Here they are...

Dig down deep and break the streak
Dig down deep and break the streak

You can watch your garden grow
And skim along the surface and take it slow
Just let nature have it's way
And let your little flowers bloom where they may

If you dig down deeper under the ground
Oh yeah, got to dig down deeper, girl you can
If you're wanting to win, then you better begin
To get a little bit dirty and dig deep down

You can keep things as they've always been
And you'll never leave the row
You've been planting in
Take a chance and make the leap
Anything can happen when you dig down deep

So dig down deeper under the ground
You gotta dig down deeper girl you can
If you're wanting to win, then you better begin
To get a little bit dirty and dig deep down

Come on and dig deep down!

So you decide to make your stand
Step up and put the world to shame
There may be no luck on your head
If you didn't choose this game
You don't want to lose this game

You gotta dig down
Yeah, you gotta dig down.


With all the everyday distractions around here, I've been backsliding.  I wake up in the morning with good intentions, and before I know it the day is done and I've not given the time or prayers over to God that I promised I would.

Jesus tries all different ways to get our attention.  I'm surprised I haven't seen Him doing back flips in front of Me!

Upon waking this morning I sensed Him to say again... Dig Deep!  I need to prioritize and make Him first, not just upon waking or late in the day.  He deserves more of our time and prayers.  The distractions of this world need to step away.  After all...

I don't want to lose this game! 

Dig Down Deep!


Update:  A Huge Confirmation!  After I pushed "publish" on this post, I asked Jesus if He liked the post I just made.  I randomly opened my Holy Spirit Devotional to this!

Spend More Time With Me!  You'll need to make adjustments in your schedule to fulfill My highest call on your life.  Yes, a change in the way you spend your time is required to reach your destiny.  You pray, but you must extend your prayer time.  You worship, but you must press in a little Deeper.  You study, but there's so much more I want to show you!  If you'll commit to spending thirty minutes more with Me in the evenings, even though you are tired, I will bring rest, restoration, refreshing, revelation and still more blessings to your spirit, soul and body.  I want to spend more time with you.  You know where to find Me.

*Prayer - Show me the changes I need to make in my life to pursue more of You.  Help me to set aside any weight that's slowing me down as I run my race in Christ.  Draw me into prayer, and give me a hunger for Your Word.  Help me to obey You. (Holy Spirit, pg. 227)

Wow!!! What a confirmation!
