Seize the Moment – Day 1467

Today’s worship song focus :

Hosanna (Praise is Rising)

Mark 11:8-10 (NASB95)

 

 

“And many spread their coats in the road, and others spread leafy branches which
they had cut from the fields. Those who went in front and those who followed were
shouting: “Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; Blessed is
the coming kingdom of our father David; Hosanna in the highest!”

 

Inspired by a desire to write a song that expresses adoration and a surrender to God, Paul Baloche and Brenton Brown teamed up to create this powerful and impactful song. It encourages believers to be like those who proclaimed Jesus’s entry into the city, lifting up their voices in recognition and declaring who the Messiah is as the one who came to save us, our Lord and Savior!

 

Hosanna hosanna
You are the God who saves us
Worthy of all our praises
Hosanna hosanna.
Come have Your way among us
We welcome You here Lord Jesus
 

We need to wake up and make this song one that we sing all week long as we prepare for Holy Week with the start of Palm Sunday tomorrow. Use this powerful song as part of your personal worship and express your love and adoration to God for sending us the Blessed Messiah! Let your praise rise up!

Today’s worship song focus :

The Blessing

 Numbers 6:24-26 (NASB95)

 
 
 
The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you;  
the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”’

 

Taken from the priestly benediction of Numbers 6 and the prayerful blessing of Psalm 67, Kari Jobe, Cody Carnes, Steven Furtick and Chris Brown created this anthem of hope and encouragement for all believers in the spring of 2020. We are reminded of God’s faithfulness and unfailing love for us with this message of peace and assurance even in the middle of our chaos.

 

The Lord bless you and keep you

Make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you

The Lord turn His face toward you

And give you peace                  

 

We need to wake up and be reminded of this declaration of favor, peace and God’s presence in and over our lives! And by singing the “Amens”, which literally means ‘so be it’ or ‘let it be so’, we are joining our faith with others that we want this for our lives and their lives as well.

Seize the Moment – Day 1453

Today’s worship song focus

Praise

Psalm 150:6 (NASB95)     

 

 

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!”

 

Released in the fall of 2023, Brandon Lake, Chandler Moore and Elevation Worship wanted to create a song that would establish a feeling of joy and celebration. Taken from today’s scripture, as long as we are breathing, we have a reason to praise the Lord. In good times or bad, we are to praise. Praise is not only to bring glory to God, but also a powerful weapon against our enemies and a source of strength. This demonstrates our declaration of faith whether we feel God’s presence or not. When we praise, we not only remind ourselves that He is always with us, but we also put the enemy on notice that God is there too!
  
As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to praise, Oh my soul                          
Praise the Lord, Oh my soul. I won’t be quiet, my God is alive                                
How could I keep it inside, Praise the Lord, oh my soul               

 

We need to wake up and make this an anthem of encouragement, especially during challenging times. This song is a reminder that we are not alone and it helps us to shift our focus from the circumstance to the fact that God is in control! This is a truth we should not keep to ourselves!

Heart of a Child

Heart of a Child

Matthew 18:1-5

 
 
Over the past few weeks, we have been on a journey through the scriptures. And while today’s message is not part of Pastor Jerry’s series, we are still accountable to this 90 day challenge, so I need to ask these questions:

 

  • Are you currently up to 2 Corinthians 9? Y or N
  • Are you using the S.O.A.P technique? Y or N
  • Pray and meditate on the Lord’s prayer? Y or N
  • Did you memorize Matthew 11:28-30? Y or N
  • Did you work with Jesus (not for Him),do everything for His glory, and truly abide with Him? Y or N

 

Today’s scripture was one of those that “jumped out” at me during this current challenge. The disciples have been with Jesus now for over two years. They had heard His teachings, witnessed His miracles and had even seen thing happen in their own time of ministry. But this scripture points out just how ‘human’ the disciples were…and it can also be found in Mark 9:33-37 and Luke 9:46-48.

 

Turn to Matthew 18:1-5.
 

About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.  And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.”

 

The other Gospel accounts say that the boys were “discussing” (Mark) or “arguing among themselves” (Luke). In their minds, they saw Jesus establishing His kingdom on earth while He was on earth. They saw Him gaining popularity with the people, so they were jockeying for position in this new Kingdom. Jesus used this example of a young child to set these boys straight.

 

I don’t know about you, but ‘adulting’ can be tough sometimes and I would love to be like a little child with no responsibilities. To be able to be carefree, play games and enjoy life. I remember playing with my boys when they were kids, and now being able to repeat that with my grandkids.

Playing games like “Peek-a-boo”    (tell ‘dad joke’ here)

 

Or “Hide-n-seek”, not the one where you tell them to go hide, and then ‘forget’ to go seek them…but where they are able to use their creative thought processes to find a spot to hide where you would least expect to find them.

 

Adam and Eve were the first ones to play Hide and Seek…not a good outcome. But God came up with a plan to seek and save that which was lost.

 

So for today, I would like for each of you to find the ‘inner child’ inside each and every one of us and become the child of God we are called to be. Let’s look at the scriptures on how we have our own version of ‘Hide and Seek’:

 

  1. Hide His Word (Psalm 119:11)
  2. Hide to seek (Matthew 6:6)
  3. Seek to find (Matthew 6:33)

 

1. Hide His Word

 

Psalm 119:11:  “I have hidden your word in my heart,
    that I might not sin against you.”

 

Much like when you save money back in a safe place to be able to buy a big ticket item, the same is true when we mediate and memorize God’s Word.

 

But once they are discovered, we are not to keep them to ourselves. When we make them a part of our lives, it needs to be shared and be evident in everything that we do.

 

Psalm 78:4:    “We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord, about his power and his mighty wonders.”

 

This echoes Deuteronomy 6:1-9; Deuteronomy 11:19 & Proverbs 23:13-14.

 

       How will they know unless we tell them???

 

2. Hide to Seek

 

Matthew 6:6:  “But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.”

 

Find a place to get away from the distractions of this life.

       Jesus did it, so you need to also!!! (Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16)

 

              Bible, paper and pen

              Turn off the music, the phone, any distraction.

              There is a time for the music/worship, but you also need the “BE STILL” time.

 

ILLUS:     Intentional Time:  Sabbatical: Katie Kinnaird

TBH….this is a difficult one for me.

Does not come naturally for me. I have to be intentional!
 
 

3. Seek to Find

 

Matthew 6:33:   “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

 

       Other translations…”Seek FIRST..”

 

       The worlds says there is a proper order for things…. First things first!

 

*This idiom is used to tell someone that more important things should be done before less important things.

 

With God, we are told to keep Him first, seek Him and we are promised that we will find Him.

 

Matthew 7:7-8:  “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

 

This is in no way a one and done thing

We have to daily be working on this, especially for us slow learners!

 

The benefit of seeking and finding…

 

John 14:21:  “Those who accept my commandments and obey them are the ones who love me. And because they love me, my Father will love them. And I will love them and reveal myself to each of them.”

 

God never hides from us. He will hide us under His wings (Ps. 17:8),
He will hide us in the cleft of the rock (Ex 33:22)
and promises to draw near to us as we draw near to Him (James 4:8).
He has given us the free will to choose to seek Him, and that is what we have to do. (Ps. 119:2).

 

No matter how “old” we get, may we always have the heart of a child that is humble and full of faith.

Seize the Moment – Day 1446

Today’s worship song focus :

First Things First

Revelation 2:4-5a (NASB95)     

 
 
 
But I have this against you,
that you have left your first love.
Therefore remember from where you have fallen,

and repent and do the deeds you did at first;”

 

The brotherly trio of Caleb, Jordan and Josh Ward make up the group “Consumed by Fire”. They grew up traveling with their father who was an evangelist, serving others through church planting and medical missions. After their father had a catastrophic stroke, the boys took a hiatus to care for him. Following his passing in the spring of 2022, they reemerged with a fresh passion and commitment to the calling of their ministry through song. Jordan said this song “spearheaded the creation of a new direction for us… We’re saying, ‘Lord, we want what You want.’”

 

First thing’s first I seek Your will Not my own
Surrender all my wants to you Keep the first thing first

 

We need to wake up and take the words of this song as a prayer for our own lives. By returning our hearts to our first love, Jesus, we are then moved to love others in the way that He loves us!

Every Move I Make

 

Psalm 139:1-3 (NASB95)     

“ O Lord, You have searched me and known me.

You know when I sit down and when I rise up;

You understand my thought from afar.

You scrutinize my path and my lying down,

And are intimately acquainted with all my ways.”

 

Written by David Ruis and recorded by David Crowder Band in 1999, this energetic song of worship reflects our faith and trust in God’s plan. We are reminded that He is our guide, our protector and our source of strength because of His constant presence in our lives.

 

            Every move I make, I make in You, You make me move Jesus

            Every breath I take I breathe in You.

            Every step I take I take in You, You are my way Jesus

            Every breath I take I breathe in You.

 

We need to wake up and live our lives in alignment with God’s will each day. Then you will find joy and purpose as you surrender your will to His and move the way He wants for you. For He is the One who orders our steps.

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Isaiah 58:11 (NASB95)     

 
 
 
 
“ And the Lord will continually guide you,

And satisfy your desire in scorched places,

And give strength to your bones;

And you will be like a watered garden,

And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.”

 

Today’s hymn was written in 1745 by William Williams, originally in Welsh, and later translated into the song we know today. Williams was studying to be a doctor when he encountered the preaching of Howell Harris, which led to his conversion. It was then that he gave up his studies to seek his ordination in the Established Church. He used the beautiful imagery of the Old Testament book of Exodus to show God’s guidance and provision through the strife and how it continues today.

 

              Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land.

              I am week, but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy powerful hand.

 

We need to wake up and affirm in our own lives that God provides for us and redeems all wrong in the world. Hold fast to His promises that are yes and amen! No matter what you are facing, He is there to guide you through it!

1.
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven,
Bread of heaven,
Feed me now and evermore;
Feed me now and evermore.
 
2.
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer,
Strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
 
3.
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death, and hell’s destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises,
Songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee.
 
(Repeat 3)
 
Ending
Songs of praises,
Songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee.

Everlasting God

 

Isaiah 40:31 (NASB95)     

 

Yet those who wait for the Lord

Will gain new strength;

They will mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,

They will walk and not become weary.”

 

Written in the summer of 2006 by Lincoln Brewster and Brenton Brown, this song was inspired by the passage in Isaiah 40 and a season of personal struggle in Brenton’s life. Carrying a powerful message of hope and encouragement, we, the worshipper, are reminded of God’s everlasting nature and His promise that He will provide the strength and renewal for us when we put our trust in Him.

 

You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God, You do not faint

You won’t grow weary, You’re the defender of the weak

You comfort those in need, You lift us up on wings like eagles.

 

We need to wake up and quit rushing through the day. Take the time to put God first and wait in His presence. Remember that resting in Him will provide you with His unwavering strength so that you are not relying on yourself and your strength alone.

Seize the Moment – Day 1418

Today’s worship song focus :

They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love

John 13:35 (NASB95)            

 

 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

 

A favorite song of the late 1960’s and early 70’s, it was written by a young Catholic priest by the name of Peter Raymond Scholtes. Taken from the words that Jesus gave His disciples in John 13, Scholtes wanted to show the connection between the church and its role in the life of the world. While it had a folk style of music, he wanted to connect the faith story of the church’s young people to the disheartened landscape of the culture in America.

 

And they’ll know we are Christians by our love, by our love
Yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love

 

We need to wake up and take to heart the words of this song. It is an important part of the message of grace, hope and love that we are to share with our part of the world and beyond. That is when we will truly see our mission of transforming stories through the gospel of Jesus Christ being fulfilled.

They’ll Know We Are Christians by Our Love

 
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord.
We are one in the Spirit, we are one in the Lord.
And we pray that all unity, may one day be restored.
 
(Chorus)
And they’ll know we are Christians,
By our love, by our love.
Yes, they’ll know we are Christians by our love.
 

We will walk with each other, will walk hand in hand,
We will walk with each other, will walk hand in hand,
And together we’ll spread the news, that God is in our land

 

We will work with each other, we will work side by side,
We will work with each other, we will work side by side
And we’ll save each man’s dignity, and guard each man’s pride.

 

All praise to the Father, from whom all things come,
And all praise to Christ Jesus, God’s only Son
And all praise to the Spirit, Who makes us one.

Seize the Moment – Day 1411

Today’s worship song focus will be

Revelation Song

Revelation 4:8 (NASB95)

 

“ Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all
over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on
saying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty— the one who always
was, who is, and who is still to come.”
 
Written from a heartfelt desire to truly see the throne room of heaven being filled with worship, Jennie Lee Riddle began writing this song in the middle of “being a mom”…changing diapers, caring for kids and getting ready to make a spaghetti dinner. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, she began writing the words that painted a picture of what Revelation 4:8 describes and what it might look like. The words flowed as she became lost in her worship of the Most High God:

 

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, Holy, Holy is He
Sing a new song to Him who sits on Heaven’s mercy seat

 

We need to wake up with a new hunger and desire for more of God in our lives. Immerse yourself in worship today. Empty yourself of your own selfishness and allow the Holy Spirit to fill you up afresh and anew with the love and joy that can only come when we join with the angels in declaring “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty!”
