"Good Bad Day" by Jay Davids: Turning Tough Days Into Worship


"Good Bad Day" by Jay Davids is a great song that reminds us that we already have the power to choose joy and praise, no matter what life throws our way. This power to choose is a freedom that nobody can take away from you, unless you let them. As Jay puts it, "Before you get out of bed, you have to choose what this day is going to be for you." The song opens with lines like "Woke up on the wrong side of the bed," but quickly shifts the focus, instead of letting tough circumstances define your day, Jay sings, "I'm gonna set my mind on You."

Jay Davids - Good Bad DayWhat makes it easier for us to shift our focus to joy and praise is the fact that God is on our side! Jay's song encourages us to focus on God's goodness, even when things feel chaotic--"You are good all the time / When it rains, when the sun shines." Whether your day is a good day or a bad one, the message is clear: He remains constant, and every moment in our lives offers us an opportunity to celebrate His name.

Jay's goal with this song? To create music that lifts our spirits and pushes us through hard times, and "Good Bad Day" does just that. May this song help to brighten your day and refocus your heart. Go ahead and press play-this might just become your new go-to song to start your day!

(Related scripture: Psalm 118:24; James 1:17; Isaiah 26:3)

"Holy Flame" by Josh Grove - Talented Young Voice Inspires with Worship

Have you already heard Josh Grove's new song, "Holy Flame"? It's an upbeat worship song written and performed by Josh, and what makes this release even more intriguing is that Josh is a super talented 15-year-old singer-songwriter. He first shared this song at a youth event, and the response was so amazing that he was signed up by NRT. This release is the studio version. The song is all about the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, and celebrates God's constant goodness and grace. The lyrics remind us that He is with us in every moment, day, or night, through both joy and hardship.  With lyrics like "I see You rising like a wave // I see Yo u falling like the rain," Josh emphasizes that we can see God in every situation.

What I also find very exciting is that i...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" by Stephen M. Miller: Holding On to Grace at Heaven’s Door

Stephen M. Miller's "Is Anybody There? (Psalm 27)" comes in the quiet aftermath of the Christmas celebrations, when reflection can feel like isolation. Stephen's song isn't about polishing away his mistakes, nor does it encourage you to do so with your mistakes. Stephen shares his painful experience, "I never saw it coming Lord // It felt right but it was wrong // Family and friends have left me // But I still have you and a song."   Stephen owns the fallout of his actions, taking accountability without despair. "I said it and I did it, Lord // Broke more hearts than I'll ever know // I can't fix this, though I've tried // Don't be angry, and please don't go." His song is a prayer for God's presence and guidance. "Hear me when I call you, Lord // Don't turn your face away // Don't give up on me like others have // Come help me through this day." Stephen describes a fear that we too experience when we ...
