This Is Our God Devotional

The song This Is Our God by Phil Wickham beautifully encapsulates the triumph of our Savior over sin, death, and every daunting giant that stands in our way. It is a victorious melody that elevates our perspectives from our troubles to the cross, where Christ bore it all so we could stand in freedom and victory. 1. Remembrance of Our Past Captivities: The lyrics vividly recount the struggles and obstacles we once faced — sin, shame, fear, death, and the grave, all looming like insurmountable walls and giants in our paths. They evoke remembrances of times when fear stole our breath, and our faith was seemingly too weak to muster a prayer. 2. The Triumph of Jesus:The lyrics aren't fixated on our challenges; they pivot toward the triumphant and powerful love of Jesus. Through His death and resurrection, the once-imposing walls crumble, and the giants fall. Death is defeated, and our graves of fear, sin, and shame are left empty and powerless. This is the proclamation of the cross – victory over every obstacle that separates us from God. 3. Undeniable, Unchangeable Love: The chorus rings out, "This is our God, this is who He is, He loves us." It is a bold declaration of God's unchanging nature and His unyielding love for us. The lyrics echo the foundational truth that God's love isn't a fleeting emotion but a steady, unchanging reality. Despite our past, failures, and weaknesses, His love remains - unfazed, undeterred, and unrelenting. 4. An Invitation to Proclaim His Glory: The song isn't merely a personal affirmation; it's a corporate declaration, uniting voices in proclaiming, "This is our God, King Jesus." Our response to His unending love and triumphant victory is praise. We proclaim His deeds, sharing stories of His faithfulness, to uplift our souls and extend hope to others who might still be staring at their walls and giants. 5. Unveiling Our Testimony:The bridges, "Who pulled me out of that pit, He did, He did. Who paid for all of our sin, nobody but Jesus," are testaments of personal experiences with God's redemption. It's more than just a general acknowledgment of what Jesus did; it's a recognition of how His sacrifice directly impacts our individual stories. Reflecting on Romans 8:37-39, we find assurance that in every challenge, in every moment where the giants and walls seem to define our stories, we are more than conquerors through Him. There is not a single thing in existence that can sever God's love for us, a love so powerful that it willingly climbed upon a cross to ensure that every wall and giant in our lives was defeated. This devotional invites you to listen to the words of This Is Our God and truly embrace them. Allow them to inspire a fresh proclamation of faith in your life. Look at the ruins of the walls and the fallen giants, and see in them the victory of your Savior. Share your story, proclaim His glory, and let the world know: This is our God, King Jesus, and He is victorious! Romans 8:37-39 - "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
