Fortress

When my fear is overwhelming, on Your promise I will stand. You are faithful to the end…

…and when the battle comes, I know You’re my defender. A mighty fortress is our God. And when the victory’s won, I know I’ll still be standing. A mighty fortress is our God.

Our hands are lifted up, the King of Glory fights for us! One word will rise above, in Jesus’ name we overcome!

Gotta be honest, I am unable to listen to this song without getting completely fired up about the love that Christ has for me…and for all of us. He loves us, friends. That’s something to celebrate and take complete comfort in. Nothing that could ever come against us is too much for our God to handle.

Thank you God for being our mighty fortress!

Bigger Than Any Battle

‘Your love is deeper than the ocean, You wash away my brokenness…You are bigger than any battle I’m facing.’

Amen to that. God is in control, even when things in our lives might seem like they’re spinning out of control.

Posting this today for anyone who might need that comfort or perhaps a reminder that God is bigger than the battle you are facing. He is!

Psalm 9:9
The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.

More of You

More of You
Less of me
Make me who I’m meant to be
You’re all I want, all I need
You’re everything
Take it all, I surrender
Be my king
Yeah I choose
More of You and less of me
I need more of You
More of You.

Gold

‘Whatever you’ve been told, you’re worth more than gold.’

Love this song and its message. Meanwhile I’ve noticed that as my kids start to grow up a bit, the whole popularity thing has started to creep into some of the conversations.

As someone who never quite got it when it came to popularity while growing up and was never in the ‘in’ crowd, to hear my kids talk about this stuff has reminded me that I need to remind them it’s not about who thinks your cool enough (or in today’s age how many ‘friends’ or ‘followers’ or ‘likes’ you have on social media sites.) It’s about God’s love for us. It’s perfect and will always be there to validate us. That’s where our true worth comes from…not from the opinions of others.

This song is perfect for kids or teenagers, or anyone really. I love the encouragement it offers and will be sharing it with my kids.

Of course, I also wanted to share it with you here. If you’ve never heard it, hopefully it will make ya smile (and don’t forget to check out the remix while you’re at it.)

So don’t be ashamed to wear your crown. You’re a king, you’re a queen, inside and out.

Have a good day.
