Invisible...

So as you have probably figured out by now, I love music, and often feel God moving through it. Just last night we began singing a new song called Break Through, by Tommy Walker. I posted all the lyrics and highlighted what really stuck out to me.

Break through, break through all my doubts
Break through, break through all my fears
Break through That I may worship You
Break through, break through all my pain
Break through, all my guilt and my shame
Break through like only You can do

You are brighter than my darkest night,
Stronger than my toughest fight
Just one touch from You, my King, my Friend
And I’ll never be the same again

The lyrics about being stronger than my toughest fight quickly brought my mind to some scripture I had read early that day (or maybe week, I can't remember for sure) from 2 Kings chapter 6, which tells us a story about Elisha capturing the Syrian army against all odds. What strikes me the most is the part that says:

"Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. (Verses 16-17)

What a great picture of our God being SOOOO much bigger and stronger than our strongest fight! He can send an army of fire to protect us! That image of have an army of fire surrounding me in my struggles just overwhelmed me last night, and yet again reminded me to not put God in a box. We serve a truly great and glorious God.

  1. Right on, Shawn! Am enjoying your blog, altho haven't tried to get to you on facebook yet. Your insights on how God used Biblical characters to show us His power in our own lives is indeed awesome! Looking forward to hearing more from you when you get home.
