Celebrate!!!

I have been listening to Charlie Hall's newest CD "The Bright Sadness" a lot and it has sparked a lot of thought and renewal for me. here are a couple of thoughts it has sparked for me.

In his song, "You Are God", Hall says in the chorus;

You fill our hearts with love and faith,
You fight for us, You make us brave,
You are God, You are God.

You walk with us, You lead us on,
Faith, hope and love wakes up with dawn,
You are God, You are God

When was the last time that you remembered that God fights for you? Because that is when you will be brave. That is when God makes you brave, remember He fights for you, all you have to do is stand firm (Ephesians 6:11). When was the last time you remembered that as a child of God he fills your heart with love and faith and when was the last time you acted upon that love and faith? HE IS GOD!!

Another part of a song, that sparks thought and praise, is the bridge of Charlie Halls song "Mystery";

Celebrate His death and rising,
Lift your eyes, proclaim His coming.
Celebrate His death and rising,
Lift your eyes, lift your eyes.

When was the last time you really CELEBRATED the death and rising of Christ? Sure we talk about it and think about it, but when is the last time you truly celebrated in the fact that Christ gave his life and defeated death to rise again to glorify His father and so that you could have a relationship with Him?

These songs have brought a renewal of Praise and Adoration for my King. I am daily trying to truly celebrate His death and rising and trying to remember that he fights for me and makes me brave.
