A song in your heart

 

"Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Ephesians 5:19–20 (NIV)

When I first started going to church consistently in my teens, I would hear people talk about having a song in  your heart. I had lots of songs in my heart; I love music. But it wasn't until I was going through a struggle when I realized how powerful having the right song in my heart was. It's the inner voice singing to me, reminding me and encouraging me through tough situations. That's why it's important to pay attention to what we're listening to. What song do you want in your heart? Will it bless you and inspire you to hold on, or is it filling you with anger and sin? I usually have several songs in my heart, but there is usually one that ministers to me in a special way depending on the season I'm in. Right now that song is "Open Up Our Eyes" by Elevation Worship. What song/s make up your heart's playlist?

 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. - Colossians 3:16 NIV

I pray these lyrics empower you and minister to you in your struggles. Sing them and believe them!

"Greater is the one who's in us
Greater is the one who calls our name
He will never fail

Stronger is the one who fights for us
He will never fail
You will never fail

Your love endures forever

Our God is fighting for us always
Our God is fighting for us all
Our God is fighting for us always
We are not alone, we are not alone

Our God is fighting for us always
Our God is fighting for us all
Our God is fighting for us always
We are not alone, we are not alone
We are not alone, we are not alone
