"Ever Almighty"

Welcome to another week on “Here I Am to Worship”! I hope you were able to catch the powerful message I shared with you last week from Passion City Church.  Worship is an important part of our Christian walk.  Therefore, understanding and learning how to do it well is vital to walking in the abundant fullness of God’s intended design.  So I hope you were challenged to offer to God an extravagant, unrestrained response to His goodness in your life through worship. 

​In light of the current events between pandemic aftershocks, political unrest, and the violence that escalated over the last several weeks, one song that has been circling through my head and heart is “Ever Almighty” by Passion. This song seems so perfect for our times, and is a powerful reminder that no matter what is going on in our world, God is still in control and sovereign. Therefore, we need to trust Him and not give way to fear.
 
The verses walk through all the situations that could go wrong: wars, rumors of wars, etc. Then the pre-chorus and verse two give us an initial response that God is faithful and will not forget His promises to save and redeem. In fact, He’s doing it all the time—even through the things that seem like the end of the world to our limited perspective.  Therefore, we will not forget the goodness and faithfulness of God.  My favorite part is the powerful chorus which declares the defeat of fear and the victory of God. 

“Fear doesn’t get to sit on Your throne
No, You won’t share Your glory
All the praise is Yours alone
You are worthy, worthy”

​I pray that this song will encourage your heart and remind you that even when times seem tough and evil is prevailing, God is still working.  He is still powerful to save, and He is sovereign.  Therefore, we don’t need to fear the terror of the night or the pestilence around us, but we can walk in faith and truth and offer to God an extravagant response of heartfelt worship.  Here’s “Ever Almighty” by Passion.
