​I hope you have been blessed and encouraged by our worship set on God’s power and namely Jesus’s victory over darkness.  Truly, our Savior is high above all things, has conquered the enemy, and at His name the darkness must tremble and flee.  Praise the Lord!  To close out this set, I want to focus on a beautiful new song that was recently released.  It is a simple, hymn-like song that covers the gospel message and gives us a powerful opportunity to respond to Jesus’s grace with a chorus of worship.  

Are you ready for some mid-week encouragement?  Today’s song feature is an upbeat song of declaration.  It proclaims the supremacy of Christ and the truth that our King is the King above all kings and at His Name all the kingdoms and powers of this world must bow.  However, while Jesus is the Lion of Judah who reigns over all, He is also the Lamb of God who takes away our sins.  He is both Ruler and Redeemer, Judge and Savior, Prince and humble Servant, the Lion and the Lamb.

​Happy Wednesday!  I hope your week has been filled with God’s rich blessings so far.  As I was thinking and praying about this month’s worship set, the song that first came to mind was today’s song feature.  It is the song around which this month’s worship theme is built and is a declaration of faith and trust in the powerful name of Jesus.  It declares God’s power over darkness and the fact that at the name of Jesus the enemy can be defeated.

October is here and with it, shorter days and darker nights.  It’s also that time of year during which the powers of darkness are celebrated.  As I watch Halloween decorations appear and witness the chaos our world is in between COVID, natural disasters, racial discord, and political tension, I have been impressed with the need to declare God’s power over darkness. 
 
While this is Satan’s temporary domain over which he exercises some control, Jesus broke Satan’s power and conquered the enemy.  God is still on the throne and ultimately in control of all that transpires on planet earth.  Therefore, this month as our country continues to get pulled apart by disunity and as evil is celebrated, let us, as God’s people, lift up a song of victory, a declaration of God’s power, and an anthem that tells the world and our own hearts that Jesus has defeated darkness and that celebrates the mighty, all-powerful name of the King of kings.
