'Shadow' by Kosj Yamoah: Embracing Life's Shadows with Faith


Kosj Yamoah's song, 'Shadow,' draws inspiration from the well-known Psalm 23. Kosj doesn't just recite these passage; he brings them to life by connecting this song to his journey with his son, Zion. The valleys and shadows are more than just metaphors. They're real challenges - doubt, fear, anxiety - yet put into a different perspective through an unshakeable faith in God's presence.

Kosj Yamoah - ShadowListening to 'Shadow,' you're reminded that life does throw shadows our way. But the thing about shadow is that there is only a shadow when there is no light. As soon as there is light, the shadow is disappears. Kosj acknowledges that faith isn't blind to life's realities, but that light comes from a deeply rooted in the truth of God's promise that He will always be with us. It's a call to recognize, maybe even cherish, the presence of these shadows, because shadows actually testify to the light that is surrounding, guiding, and comforting us.

We haven't been promised a life that will be free of shadows, but we do have the promise of a life where we are never alone, and may watch how fear and doubt are replaced by His peace, light, and assurance.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:1-4; Psalm 27:1; Isaiah 41:10)

"Worthy Of All Praise" by Brady Jones: Finding God's Love After Searching in the Wrong Places

Have you searched for love in all the wrong places? Brady wrote “Worthy Of All Praise” at 4 am, wide awake and wrestling with some really tough obstacles that he was facing at the time. He’d spent a season chasing love in places that left him empty. At one point, he remembered who God actually is — not a distant idea, but a living, rising, never-failing presence. The lyrics capture that exact moment: “What love is like this? His love is priceless. A love that would live, a love that would die, a love that’s gonna rise again.” Brady shares: “Our God’s love transcends all understanding and his power towers over all.
