Highlighted Song: Stronger by Hillsong

"Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."

~1 John 4:4 (ESV)

I LOVE BIG songs with a BIG message. And this song is BIG.

Life Commonalities

Trying to kick a bad, sinful habit? Asking "why do I have to go through this" for the thousandth time?

We all have these things in our lives at different times, at the same time, or perhaps seemingly all the time! Struggles with sin and trials of life can become such a constancy and can so consume our minds that soon they seem to be ruler of our lives.

God is Stronger

However, whatever that sin--no matter how unbeatable it seems, whatever that fiery trial--no matter how heated, endlessly ablaze, and rekindling it seems, God is bigger, God is greater, God is stronger.

I, being "one of those people," have been so very encouraged by the song, Stronger, by Hillsong--both in listening and singing it with the congregation of God's church! This song's musical BIGNESS greatly supports the BIGGER message in the song--that God is BIGGEST!

"You broke my shame and sinfuless"--sin is already shattered and completely defeat-able! "You rose again victorious"--It is He Who has done it! "Faithfulness none can deny"--None can honestly deny that He is yet with us and will eventually see He has never left! "There is truth that sets me free"--There is LIFE to live! "You are stronger you are stronger, Sin is broken you have saved me..."

Now TURN IT UP LOUD and enjoy!

Stronger
by Hillsong

There is love that came for us
Humbled to a sinner's cross
You broke my shame and sinfuless
You rose again victorious

Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm and through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me

You are stronger you are stronger
Sin is broken you have saved me
It is written Christ is risen
Jesus you are Lord of all

No beginning and no end
You're my hope and my defence
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross

So let your name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher be lifted higher

Reading

God's Word:
The Gospel of Luke

The Gospel of Luke is a well-documented recording of the steps, acts, and Words of Christ during His entire time on earth from birth forth. God is working in my heart to increase my hunger for His Word, so I am excited to be walking alongside Jesus and to observe what He does and what is important to the most-important being--our God and Savior.

I am also excited to revisit some things by which I have been provoked by in this Book of the Bible, such as those laid out in this four-part series:
The Four Woes of Luke 4

A Praying Life
by Paul Miller

"Just another book on prayer--what we should be doing that we're not." Okay, so that was my honest, first reaction to hearing about this book. But as I have begun to dive in, I am finding it to be quite that.

This is an honest, real, down-to-earth, and most-relatable book. You begin by putting aside the guilt that often keeps us from simply admitting our struggles and stating what our thoughts are on prayer. Prayer can be great, and it can be frustrating. This book meets people on all plane of the field of Christian practice and is the best reading I've experienced so far on the topic!
