Tim Timmons - Cast My Cares

DAY 6 OF 7

Only One Standing

I have tried to stand without your power

Built my house on sand with my own mortar

And the ground below is quaking

I have looked to man for my approval

Built my confidence apart from you and now

All the walls are shaking

I’ve spent my life building and propping up my own Kingdom of Tim within the walls of God’s Kingdom. I’ve become pretty good at this one and I’m afraid it has been part of my stunted growth. Who’s the CEO of your kingdom? I, along with many of the other country music lovin’ Christians out there, know the Carrie Underwood song Jesus Take The Wheel but aren’t really letting Him drive. I am great with Him holding on to that wheel because He is God and He is all-powerful, but I generally feel just fine telling Him where to go! “Jesus surely take the wheel, but can you take a left turn up here and then a sharp right turn at the next fork in the road.” Am I the only one with that kind of audacity? I think not.

I have grown up with a holy entitlement that seems to fit into American Christianity but not into the realms of following Jesus. My prayers were and sadly still are, filled with asking Jesus to tag along on my daily adventures. “Jesus go where I send thee.”

Isn’t it the other way around?

My song “Only One Standing” has become my daily prayer these past 3 years and shaped the beginning of my journey of simply following Jesus. “Jesus would you tear down these walls that rise between us blinding freedom?” Stop for a second. What could that mean in your daily life? What would your life look like this week if you started your mornings by praying this: Jesus, today, help me. I surrender all. Would you let my kingdom fall, so yours alone would be the only one standing?”

About this Plan

Tim Timmons - Cast My Cares

Fueled by his earnest love and desire for Jesus, California-based worship leader, songwriter and blogger Tim Timmons draws upon scriptural and personal resources in his 7-day Reading Plan for The Overflow Devo on YouVersion. As with his music, Timmons’ sole objective is to draw people into the awakening movement of Jesus Christ. Consistent with the theme of his Reunion Records debut album, “Cast My Cares,” Timmons explores not only what it means to believe in Jesus, but also what it looks like when we choose to truly follow Him.
