Bria Jean - Teach Me to Obey (CCM)

The holiday season is also a time for me to unwind and browse through the music archives, listening to hidden treasures that emerge during the search. Bria Jean's 'Teach Me to Obey' is one of those treasures and an encouraging song for you all today. 

This song speaks to the heart of everyone who wants to follow God and live a life that pleases Him. It serves as a reminder of His faithfulness and the good plans He has for us, even when trust and obedience are difficult to come by.

The lyrics say, 'You have always been a faithful Father, love has drawn me in as Your child. So I'm trusting You with all of my desires, all of my desires.' It's a lovely expression of faith and trust in God, even when we can't see what He's doing.

The song also addresses the struggles we all face when our flesh tempts us to stray from God's path. It serves as a reminder to turn to Him and seek His guidance and strength to obey His will. 'I'm bowing to Your sovereignty, I'm trusting You are guiding me. And when my failing flesh is tempting me to stray, oh teach me, teach me to obey.' Bria Jean - Teach Me to Obey

As the song says, God will not forget a single promise, and His plans are meant for our good. We can trust Him with our lives and lay it all in His hands.

So let's trust in God and His sovereignty as we listen to 'Teach Me to Obey' by Bria Jean. May this song encourage you to trust and obey Him today.

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...
