RESURRECTING
Saying that today was a “bad day” would be an understatement, but let me just tell you, our God is a good God. HE’S A GREAT GOD! HE’S AN AMAZING GOD!!!!!
You’re probably sitting there reading this thinking, “Ok she’s gone mad.” And yes, yes I have, but the best people are😉 (if you know what movie that quote is from A+++ to you), but let me tell you why I’m so excited about our fantastic Father.
STORY TIME:
It was a Tuesday afternoon/evening (today) and I, like I said, was having a pretty bad day. I sat down to do my homework and decided to turn on Spotify. I’m one of those people that has to have music playing in order to concentrate on homework. I was first listening to christmas music (IT’S NEVER TOO EARLY TO LISTEN TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC😂) but then after a few minutes I just wasn’t feeling it. I decided to turn on some worship music and since I was listening on my laptop I could pick which song to listen to. I don’t know why, but I decided to listen to Resurrecting by Elevation Worship. And let me just tell you, I NEEDED THAT SONG MORE THAN I THOUGHT I DID. It was like God picked that song for me. I could feel him telling me that there is still hope in Him, that I only needed Him. I have never felt so much joy and peace at once before.
The song is a beautiful song, declaring that God’s name is victory and that all the praise of the world will rise to Him. The song talks about Jesus’ crucifixion and praises Him for taking away our sin and shame. The bridge of the song is what really hit me.
By Your spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
The resurrected king
Is resurrecting me
In Your name I come alive
To declare your victory
The resurrected king
Is resurrecting me
The song suddenly makes a change from praising our Lord and Savior to a motivating and inspirational chant. When it came on, I felt like I was saying a pledge. I was declaring that through God’s spirit I would rise from the hurt and pain I was feeling, that I would come alive through Him and shout triumphantly His victory, power, and hope. I couldn’t help but feel empowered and full of His spirit. I felt like He was physically lifting me up from my “ashes of defeat” and that I was actually being resurrected from my depressed self to this person full of joy.
I love that it says “by Your spirit,” because it’s only through Him that we can find victory, He’s the only way. I feel like so many times we try to do everything by ourselves. We try to fix our own problems, because we know what we want. Little do we realize that our Father, who created us, knows us better than we know ourselves. He’s the one in control, He knows exactly what He’s doing in our lives. He’s the only way our problems will be fixed. Sure we might be able to “fix” the problems, but that’s only temporary, God’s fix is forever.
If you ever feel alone, realize that THE RESURRECTING KING loves you. HE DIED AND ROSE AGAIN!!! HE ROBBED THE GRAVE. HE CARRIED OUR SIN AND SHAME!! He’s our perfect creator and almighty Lord, and guess what, He knows you. He cares about you. He wove you in your mother’s womb. He accepts you for who you are. He wants you more than you know. He’s always there for you. He’s changing you. You may not always feel Him, but He’s always there. And He always loves you.
I’m going to link the song down below, please listen to it. It is such a powerful song and I believe that it can touch a lot of hearts and help those who really need it. I hope y’all have an amazing rest of your day/night. And always remember to walk in love and keep doing you!!!
XOXO
