More than ever before, people care what they look like. Especially in this day and age of social media, so many care about how many likes they have, and how many compliments they get on a photo. Our actions are determined by what we perceive people think about us. This has caused us to dampen our passion in order to feel accepted and not be judged. But isn't God worthy of all our praise? Isn't He worthy of a louder shout than a football game? A greater celebration than the best party? Yes, He is!2 Samuel 6:14 says, “And David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a linen ephod.” King David was so excited about the presence of the Lord that he didn't care what he looked like, rather he gave God passionate praise. When was the last time you danced with all your might? We wrote this song to encourage people to dive into praising God with no restraints, even in the hard times:Verse 1Whatever comes, whatever goesThere is one thing that I knowYou are faithful, You are faithfulIn the midst of despairYou are God, and You are thereYou're always with me, You're always with meSo I will trust YouWhen we praise Him, we take our eyes off our problems and we put them on Him instead. It's the greatest thing you can do, no matter what you are going through. God wants us to go deeper in Him, and in response He wants to saturate us.ChorusYou are a never-ending riverFlowing full of powerWashing over meI will run into the waterJesus take me deeperSaturating meAnother great example in the Word is when the woman with the issue of blood reached out for Jesus. “When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well. Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.” (Mark 5:25)What a great display of passion from a woman in need! She pushed through the crowd, even though people in that day would have labeled her unclean. She reached out, not caring what people thought of her, and she received her miracle!Today, make that same choice to say, “I don't care what it looks like, I'm diving in.” Give God your everything. Give Him more passion than any other area of your life.BridgeI don't care what it looks likeI'm diving inNothing will stop this passionI'm praising Him Based on the song River by Planetshakers Original post available on YouVersion based on the album - Overflow.

Not sure if you have been there before. The sweet moments of intimacy with Jesus where you know His closeness, are moved by His word and experience the fullness of His spirit. Walking into Sunday services being so close, feet hardly touching the ground as you walk to the stage, grab your music...plug in your instrument. Those are tender, meaningful times of worship; sweet moments of connection with a deep sense of purpose. You hear Him call your name on that mountaintop knowing that He is pleased with you. It's a long drop falling from a mountaintop. Stepping over the edge of a cliff happens in a flash. Maybe the next morning starts with hot-tempered, overtired toddlers, or a spouse up too many times in the night with the baby. Sharp words over coffee and running late into the sanctuary where you feel like an ash heap. Feet heavy walking to the stage, heart pounding with guilt for displays of impatience and anger; plugging in your guitar, checking the monitor levels you feel unworthy. The worship set ends, and the imposter syndrome weighs heavy on your heart as you reflect on the morning. And then...you hear Him. He tenderly calls your name down into that valley. Yes, He still calls your name. And provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. - Isaiah 61:3 Mountains or valleys, He doesn't differentiate your position. He just invites you to come. Bring the sacrifice of praise and offer your gift. Shame into glory. Beauty for ashes. Not because of anything you did, but because of everything He is! He is the only one who can re-shape your broken, battered self. He is the God who turns mourning to dancing and your shame into glory. Those dry and brittle bones creaking in your weary soul find refreshment in His presence. Go to Him bruised with your failures and flaws out there in the open. Nothing is better than a touch from the Father. Tracey Dahl, M.A. is a writer and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in Langley, BC (Canada).

It is amazing how an ordinary boy with a less-than-glamourous job of tending fields (read: shoveling sheep poop and fighting lions off in his spare time) for his father was chosen by God for His extraordinary purposes and specifically commended as being one “after God's own heart.” Our stories are the same! God has called us by name, and through Jesus, brought us into his family. He has made the ordinary extraordinary and given us a new heart, a heart freed from captivity to sin and death which can now choose instead to follow Jesus with abandon. Scripture says in 2 Chronicles 16:9 that the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. In another translation, it says he strengthens hearts “that are completely his.” The world tells us to abandon our hearts to other things, and our flesh beckons us back to a life of sin. We may have our hands balled up around something which we have not given to God. It may be something we compartmentalize: God, you can have it all…except this one thing. What is the thing, the relationship, the addiction, the money, the area of life you want control over? Are there any walls in your heart toward God? What would happen if our hearts were “completely His?” He gives us a strength which encourages us, gives courage to us, and sustains us. We lose our false semblance of control, but gain the protection and loving leading of God in our lives and peace that passes understanding. Let it be said of us, the Church, this generation, you and me, that we are a people with hearts abandoned, hearts that are completely His, hearts that are ever after Him alone. God, give me a heart abandoned, ever after you alone. All the things of this world pale in comparison to You. If they don't, awaken me to the reality of Christ, open my eyes to see you and surely everything else will fade into the background. I know You're the one who gave me a new heart in Christ, so please shape it and guide it into your ways. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you. In Jesus' name, Amen. Based on the song Heart Abandoned by Kristian Stanfill, Sean Curran.

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33, NIV) Back in February 2020, who among us could have predicted the changes that a pandemic would foist upon us? For me, like many others, there was a loss of career and the accompanying fears and sleepless nights working through the questions that plague us in the depth of the night-watch! The COVID-19 era and its lockdowns have been a very dark time for so many of us who simply long to see the light of day once again. I do believe that we Christians suffer from what I refer to as spiritual amnesia. I tend to forget, like the Israelites of the Old Testament, just what God has done for me in the past, choosing instead to wallow in fear and self-pity, doubting that God will come through in my time of need. Before my years of pastoral church ministry, my wife and I spent 12 years serving the Lord by faith in a music ministry capacity. We had so many stories of how God took care of us, and how he could direct us. Perhaps years of regularity causes complacency, and our Lord must shake the cage a bit to awaken our faith in him once again. As I entered into my 'enforced sabbatical', God began bringing scripture to mind as a source of comfort. Jesus' words to the disciples in John 16:33 remind us that we will have trials. That is a certainty. But we can also be certain of his victory over death, because of an empty tomb. And that empty tomb points to his ultimate return, where all darkness and death is banished, and we can all bask in the light of the Day of the Lord! Let our prayer, then, echo the declaration of Jesus where we can say daily and through every situation, "You are The Way and The Truth and The LifeKing of all Kings and the Lord of LightCome will you lead us in the Spirit's wayUntil our eyes see the Light of DayUntil our eyes see the Light of Day".

My heart busted right open when I heard that first newborn cry. Our first grandchild is a bright, delightful little person. If she's over at our house, all the family comes, too. Her aunties and uncles cannot get enough of her. When Grandbaby and her parent's come to visit, schedules clear, plans adjust - we all want to sit and take her in. Along with this depth of love pounding in my chest, I notice something else. Slipping in amongst the awe and delight is worry. It is a familiar worry connected to a younger version of myself. I haven't perceived this gnawing at my heart for quite some time - not since my kids were little. When I first became a mom, I couldn't believe they let me take that sweet, vulnerable tiny baby home from the hospital. He came with no instruction manual and an immense responsibility to keep him safe. It is a familiar kind of worry attached to the indescribable adoration I feel for this little girl. But now, my confidence is buoyed by what I know. I am my older, wiser self, and I know how to pray. Grandma use to pray out loud by her bed every nightTo me it sounded like mumbling, like she was out of her mindShe said, Boy this kind of praying is what saved my lifeYou outta try it some time; now I know she was right And I know the good work that God is doing in her parents. A work that is not complete. An ongoing purposeful work of grace, love, and growth. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.Philippians 1:4-6 When your heart is gripped with anxiety about your kids being in this upside-down world, talk to Jesus. He has plans for us, and he has plans for our kids. Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music's song, Talking To Jesus tells the story of how we can get through the messy uncertainty of parenting. Mama use to drag me to church, Sunday morning and Wednesday nightsKhaki pants and a polo shirt, boy, I put up a fightShe said, Son, one day you'll thank me for having God in your lifeAnd yeah I know she was right, yeah my mama was right Get them talking to Jesus. That is the antidote to my worry. Knowing that the ones my heart bursts for know Him. They see this friend who will never let them down. He will never leave them out. He will never leave them alone. He will never take offense, and He will always forgive. He is never too busy or distracted. With Him, there is no favoritism. No competition. No fear. What a friend! Thank God they are talking to Jesus. Tracey Dahl, M.A. is a writer and Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) in Langley, BC (Canada).

So let our praise build an altar, Christ forever and no other. Jesus Your Name be the banner over us Scriptures: Revelation 3:7-13 (NIV) Mark 16:15 (NIV) 1 Corinthians 16:9 (NIV) 2 Corinthians 2:12 (NIV) Colossians 4:3 (NIV) Devotional: ​​”I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.” - Revelation 3:8 (NIV) Often in Scripture, an 'open door' is referring to some sort of evangelistic opportunity (see 1 Corinthians 16:9, 2 Corinthians 2:12, and Colossians 4:3). This meaning makes the most sense in the context of Revelation 3:7-13 as well. Jesus is encouraging the believers in the Church of Philadelphia about a gospel opportunity in front of them and he says, “you have kept my word and have not denied my name”. As believers, often we can pray for 'open doors' for any number of things. We may pray for an open door within a work opportunity, or maybe for a new relationship to start, but the ultimate opportunity has already been opened before us: the 'open door' of sharing the gospel. Jesus has entrusted and empowered His people to “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone” (Mark 16:15 NIV). When it comes to sharing the good news of the Christian faith, many times worry can be placed on what will happen, how we will come across to others, or even confusion about what exactly this process is meant to look like. But, despite these potential worries or roadblocks, we find great encouragement in this passage in Revelation 3:8. Christ promises an 'open door', but not a fleeting, temporary, or fast closing one. Instead, the door Christ promises is one that “no one can shut.” Sharing the gospel isn't predicated on our own goodness or delivery of truth, but on God's goodness and reality of truth. What a promise from the Lord! The believers in this passage found in Revelation were likely facing severe persecution. The testimony of their faith was not without consequence or ramification. How much more should believers in contexts outside of persecution be emboldened to share our faith with confidence. The prayer “Jesus Your Name be the banner over us” is not only one of representation or identification with Jesus, but also one of bold faith and proclamation. We are called to boldly proclaim the faith and trust that we have in the person and work of Jesus Christ. He promises an open door before us as we do—one that no one can shut.

It is right to praise You, to bring the sacrifice You deserve. For those forgiven much, dare not forget Your touch, cannot withhold Your praise Scriptures: Revelation 2:18-29 (NIV) Devotional: “These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.” - Revelation 2:18-19 (NIV) In ancient and Jewish thought, to use the title 'Son' was to equate oneself with the very nature and likeness of the person or thing one was referring to. So, when Scripture says, “the Son of God,” this clearly denotes equality with God. This is important to understand. Jesus is speaking to the church of Thyatira through the Apostle John, and He establishes that first and foremost, He is God. In other words: King. The image of Christ's deity is written out even further as the verse continues: “whose eyes are like blazing fire.” This communicates the just judgment of the Son of God—He looks at our lives with righteousness and holiness, both clearly and yet with power. The picture continues, “whose feet are like burnished bronze.” This is meant to communicate Christ's purity and strength. Images of the powerful and awe inspiring Son of God are all throughout Revelation, and ultimately, they should inspire and lead us to worship Jesus. To pray or sing words like:“It is right to praise You, to bring the sacrifice You deserve. For those forgiven much, dare not forget Your touch, cannot withhold Your praise”. In other words, when we have had an experience with the living Son of God, or our minds have somewhat grasped these images in Revelation, the appropriate or fitting response is to praise Him for his goodness and glory. In fact, we often cannot withhold the praise we long to give Jesus after an encounter with Him. Interestingly, as we behold this image of the Son of God in glory, we can have confidence that He sees us as well. The next verse in this passage says, “I know your deeds, your love and faith…” Thyatira was the smallest and most insignificant of the cities that the seven letters of Revelation are written to, but how encouraging that despite their significance by human standards, they are seen, known, and loved by God! He sees us, too—with eyes ablazing and purity of heart. This should astonish us. A God so worthy of glory and honor, One surrounded by heavenly creatures who sing “holy, holy, holy” without end—this God!—sees us. He is that glorious and equally that kind and good. Amen.

There is something profoundly stirring about the name of Jesus. It's a name that has resonated through centuries, breaking chains, healing hearts, and proclaiming freedom. In the song What A Beautiful Name by Brooke Ligertwood, we are taken on a lyrical journey that magnifies the splendor, majesty, and unparalleled power of Jesus' name. "You were the Word at the beginning, One with God the Lord Most High. Your hidden glory in creation, Now revealed in You our Christ." From the very outset of the song, we're reminded of Christ's divinity and His eternal existence. This is a profound mystery: that the Word, through whom all things were created, would step into creation as Jesus, revealing the heart of the Father. Our key scripture, found in Philippians, reminds us of the supreme authority embedded in the name of Jesus. It's not just any name; it's the name above all names, holding dominion over every realm. At the mere mention of this name, every knee – whether in reverence or in defeat – will bow, and every tongue will confess the Lordship of Christ. So, what makes the name of Jesus so powerful and beautiful? 1. Redemptive Love: The chorus resounds, "What a beautiful name it is, the name of Jesus." This name is synonymous with sacrificial love. The beauty lies in the fact that Jesus, knowing our deepest flaws, still chose the cross, bridging the chasm between humanity and divinity. 2. Victorious Power: "Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You. You silenced the boast of sin and grave."* Jesus' resurrection wasn't just about defeating death; it was a triumphant proclamation of victory over sin, death, and every force that stands against humanity's redemption. 3. Unchanging Nature: In a world where change is the only constant, the name of Jesus remains unshaken. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His promises, anchored in His name, are reliable. As we embrace the bridge of the song, "Yours is the kingdom, Yours is the glory, Yours is the Name, above all names," it becomes more than a song; it's a declaration. It's about acknowledging the sovereign reign of Christ in our lives and over all creation. Today, as you reflect on the magnificence of "What A Beautiful Name," let it be more than a melody that stirs your heart. Let it be a call to realign, to surrender, and to worship. Whether you're facing mountains of challenges or walking through valleys of despair, remember the name that holds the power to change your circumstance. Invoke the name of Jesus in your prayers, your praises, and your struggles. There's beauty in His name, not just because of its poetic resonance, but because of the hope, love, and power it embodies. In every season, may our hearts echo the truth: What a powerful, wonderful, and beautiful name is the name of Jesus!Philippians 2:9-11 - "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

“The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” - Lamentations 3:22-23 There's nothing like going to bed after a difficult day of stress or tragedy and waking up to what feels like a blank slate. But what's even better is when this happens to our souls. About four years ago, I went through a tragic experience that sent me into a multiple-month mayday. I vividly remember feeling nothing for the first time in my entire life. I was completely numb. Of course, I immediately ran to many vices in search of a cure. It's funny how in that moment, it made more sense to me to "amputate my own leg and replace it with a prosthetic" than to face the pain of the “bullets.” But the whole reason I was able to justify the "amputation" in the first place was so I could feel something. Anything. Even if it was only to convince myself that I was still alive. It didn't happen overnight, but somewhere along the way, something changed. I gradually became more and more aware of the pulse of my soul's heartbeat. The gift of life is like no other, but there is only one that supersedes it. That is the gift of salvation. It's one thing to wake up with breath in your lungs, but it is entirely another to wake up every single morning with a mercy that you've never met before. And there it is, waiting patiently for you when you wake up tomorrow. Based on the song Waking Up by Ed Cash, Scott Cash, Franni Cash, Andrew Bergthold, Martin Cash, Kyle Briskin.

Shame is much easier to wear than grace. Shame is what we know. We're accustomed to its fit, its feel. We never seem to be enough. We are always falling short. And so we move through life weighed down by an unnecessary burden. On the hill of CalvaryThe light of all the worldWith the world on his shouldersThe weight of all our shame Shame takes over whenever we lose sight of the cross. Without the cross, our sin defines us. No matter how long you've been a believer in Jesus Christ, the temptation to go back to our old way remains, the way of the law. We like the law because it gives us a sense that we're earning our keep. Follow these rules, and you're safe. Break them, and you've failed. But the gospel flips this legalistic thinking upside-down. “Therefore,” writes Paul in Romans, “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son.” (Rom. 8:1-3) When Jesus died on the cross on Calvary, he set us free from sin and shame. Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” By his wounds I am set freeBy his blood I've been redeemedThe great divide he crossed for meOh, praise the God of Calvary By his wounds we were healed, and we are now a new creation, children of a God who bridged the divide between us with his son, Jesus. Let's exchange our clothes of shame and be clothed in grace instead. Walking and living in this gift given to us by the God of Calvary. Based on the song God Of Calvary by Chris Tomlin.

Often we think of heaven as the place we hope to go when we die. It is the place where God will wipe away every tear, where there will be no more death or crying or pain. If we are honest, most days the hope of heaven is seemingly so far away. But not to Jesus. Jesus prays in Matthew 6:9-10, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” For Jesus the Kingdom of heaven was not only a future promise but a present reality. If that is the way Jesus prayed, maybe the gap between heaven and earth is not as wide as we think. Maybe Jesus came not just to get us into heaven, but to get heaven into us. John Wesley says the moment we believe in Jesus and come to know His unsurpassable love for us unveiled on the cross, “heaven is opened in the soul.” To know this love is simply a “foretaste of heaven now.” One day we will experience, face to face, Jesus in the perfection of heaven, but right now we live with the peace, assurance and hope that the power of heaven is inside of us now. The Holy Spirit is bringing that future life into the present, awakening us to God's love revealed in Jesus. The closer we grow to Jesus and the more we know Him and His love for us, in that same proportion will we see the Kingdom of heaven around us. We'll see tides begin to change, walls begin to fall and darkness shake! And we won't be able to keep that immeasurable love and joy to ourselves! Based on the song Whole Heart by Sean Curran.

How amazing is our God! He knows you and I so well and wants only the best for His children. In Psalm 69, David describes a time of great suffering. He laments as his enemies continuously pursue him with hatred. What is incredible about this scripture is the journey of faith on which it leads us.In verse 1 he begins so clearly with a troubled heart that is honest and vulnerable before God. He says phrases like “I'm in over my head” and “I am burdened and tired of crying.” Have you ever been in over your head? Have you ever hurt so badly that you've grown tired of crying? As we journey through life, we are all affected at one point or another with pain. The good news today, friend, is that it is not the end. God has a plan for good and not for evil.Though the Psalm starts out with words of lament, the language of the passage begins to change as David thinks upon the Lord and assumes his posture of praise. “Let me shout God's name with a praising song.” He meditates on the faithfulness of God and begins to prophesy to everything around him saying, “You heavens praise Him; praise Him earth.” Reading on, we begin to see that David not only enters into God's presence, but he is reminded of his authority and the power of his declaration.When we know who Jesus is, then we find ourselves. When Jesus is exalted above our issues, we are reminded of our identity. We are more than conquerors. We are sons and daughters, kings and priests. In His presence is fullness of joy among the trials of life. Though there's pain in the offering, I believe that as we enter His courts with thanksgiving, we are given the divine perspective we need to see the victory of Jesus displayed in our mind, body, and spirit. Leading a Christian life does not indicate the absence of pain, but rather the power to overcome and move forward knowing that God is working all things together for our good. In our weakness His strength is made perfect and that's how He is glorified.Today, as you sing, bring your reality to God and exchange it for the garment of praise because He is faithful to reveal His perspective. Lift Him high above any pain by singing this one statement that puts every life-defining question to rest: “Jesus, I know who You are.” Based on the song I Know Who You Are by Planetshakers Original post available on YouVersion based on the album - Overflow.
