I am forever grateful to Jesus for choosing to take the place on the cross and pay dearly for my sin, he truly overcame! Is there an area in your life you are trying to overcome? He loves you and wants to help you overcome too!
Seated above, enthroned in the Father’s love
Destined to die, poured out for all mankind
God’s only Son, perfect and spotless one
He never sinned but suffered as if He did All authority
Every victory is Yours
All authority
Every victory is YoursSavior, worthy of honor and glory
Worthy of all our praise, You overcame
Jesus, awesome in power forever
Awesome and great is Your name, You overcameSong: “By Your Side” by Tenth Avenue North
When days get busy and life picks up pace we tend to fill our lives with activities and things that will make feel better or complete us. This song is a great reminder of where my focus should be. Here is a glimpse at the song:
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don’t turn awayAnd I’ll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don’t fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding youSong: “Unfailing Love” by Chris Tomlin
The best part about the love of God is that it remains forever. You cannot “earn” it because He freely gives it to you! Thankful for a God who loves me despite all the times I stumble. What a great example it is of how we should love our family, friends, and those around us as well.
Song: “You Love Me Anyway” by Sidewalk Prophets
“You Love Me Anyway” is an encouraging song because nothing I do is good enough to earn salvation yet He chooses to love me despite all the mistakes I make . My attempts to do well are a far cry from perfection and some days I fail more then succeed at following Him. The following phrases of the song really stood out to me:
I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas’ kiss
But You love me anywaySong: “The Motions” by Matthew West
When life gets busy it is easy to just go through the “motions”. Yesterday our Pastor discussed the topic of prayer and how we need to look at prayer differently. So many of us just go through the “motions” without even thinking about the deeper meaning behind prayer. Having the open channel of communication with our Heavenly Father is not only beneficial it is essential. It puts a whole new meaning on pray without ceasing! What “motions” are you just going through today? Take a few moments to quiet your heart and mind so you can focus on what’s important.
Song: “Word of God Speak” by MercyMe
We don’t deserve anything yet we are blessed beyond words. How often do we stop and listen, giving God the opportunity to speak into our hearts. When is the last time I have asked him to speak to me? He has so much love and insight to share if only I would make a point to daily spend more time in his presence.
