Last night I posted two of my favorite songs. We sang them in church yesterday morning. There is nothing I love more than worshiping God, my king, my redeemer. Nothing else can pull me out of a funk like worshiping my King. When I abandon myself before him I gain a fresh and new perspective on all things. My vision is no longer clouded by my own self-loathing or impossible ambitions, but I see things through his eyes. I see the greater glory of these moments and gain courage to step forth in obedience and joy.
So to sing "We will overcome, by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony," I am truly saying Jesus paid the price for my sin, I overcome adversity, I overcome anxiety, I overcome my own disasters by the blood shed for me and speaking the truth boldly, the truth of what was done for me.
There is great great great power in that. I'm just excited thinking about it! I can't sing that song without feeling passion about what Christ is doing in me well up! I can't sing it without leaping and dancing, raising my hands and worshiping! I'm in love, I'm sold out. My heart is pounding as I write this becuase I know it, I love it!
I'll finish with this, becuase nothing says it better than the word of God:
Revelations 12:8-11
8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.
11 They triumphed over him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death
