"Wait" by Reflect Church: Finding Worship in Patience


"Wait" by Reflect Church is about coming back to the absolute basics of waiting on God and how challenging that can be, possibly even challenging our faith. The song invites us to slow down and trust in God's timing and ask God to help push us past the awkwardness, impatience, and distraction that we feel when we are still. 

Reflect Church - WaitSomething very interesting happens in the waiting… You begin to become more and more aware of God's presence and greatness. This stage is where faith grows, because you get a better sense of how much God really loves you, how much He's for you, and what He is already doing in your life. There are blessings in the waiting, although we may not always see it that way. 

The repetitive assurance in the lyrics, "We're going to wait on you," is all about creating a genuine commitment in our hearts and minds, a commitment that helps to cut through the noise of everyday distractions. The verses honor titles like Creator, Forgiver, Redeemer, and Healer, reminding us of God's multifaceted love and that there is never a reason to hold back our praises. 

"We're not going to wait for the rocks to cry // Our lips will fill with praise // We're not going to wait till the end of time // You're worthy of it all // We're not going to hide our hearts from you // We're holding nothing back // We're not going to miss a moment's praise // You're worthy of it all." God is truly worthy of all our adoration. 

The key message of this song is that it's in the stillness that we really may discover God's greatness and love, and this discovery can change our mindset from expectation to awe-filled worship. May this song encourage you to embrace the stillness and rediscover His greatness and love for you.

(Related scripture: Isaiah 40:31; Psalm 27:14; Revelation 4:11)

"Whoop The Devil" by Destin Dumais: Standing in Christ's Authority

Who gave you the authority to stand firm? Destin Dumais opens his debut single with an amazing sound that excites, gets you up on your feet, and gets you ready to conquer. “Whoop The Devil” is a hard-hitting country-rock song with one clear message: As believers, we hold real authority in Christ! The song starts with a cowboy scene. “Gonna saddle up and ride, ain’t no place you can hide.” Then comes the line that makes an important difference: “Been deputized, authorized.” Nobody appoints himself to this work. The badge was handed over at Calvary. Jesus said it plainly in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Who gives the authority? Jesus does! This kind of confidence never relies on your strength, your mood, or your track record. This confidence rests on His name, and His name only! Does that now mean that our fears will disappear for good? Not always. Destin admits that...

"Spirit of God" by Joel Lane: Surrendering Hearts of Stone to the Holy Spirit

What dead places in your life need breath? “Spirit of God” by Joel Lane is written as a plea for the Holy Spirit to move among us, and shows us that our best response to spiritual dryness is surrender. It is the first release from his debut EP “Have Your Way,” recorded with Zac Carpenter of the worship collective Coming Kingdom. The song opens with a bold claim: “You make dry bones come alive.” Maybe you’re familiar with that kind of spiritual dryness. A marriage gone quiet. A prayer life that is running on habit, with routine words that sometimes make you wonder if they go up any higher than your ceiling. A heart that stopped feeling much of anything. Joel doesn’t ask God to just patch things up. He asks God for more: “Take our hearts of stone, breathe on us.” That’s a pretty brave prayer. Will you pray it? Ezekiel stood in more or less the same place (read Ezekiel 37:1–11). God sent him into a valley of scattered, bleached bones and asked a question that sounds impossible: “Can the...

"Send Me an Angel" by Josh Orange: Grace for the Struggle at 5 AM

What if help is one honest word away? Josh Orange, a folk-rock group from Sydney, Australia, wrote “Send Me an Angel” in about thirty minutes. Structure, lyric, the whole thing arrived at once and became the spark for the band’s sixth studio album. Some prayers work that way. They don’t wait for polish. The song opens at 5 am. A man puts his feet on the floor and asks Jesus, “for the strength to begin.” He doesn’t ask for much. He works for his living, and he isn’t proud of his sins. Then comes the plea: “Come help me Jesus. Send me an angel.” Sound familiar? You’ve tried hard, opened the door, and done it again. Gordon Burke, the lead singer of Josh Orange, sings about running all the way to Nova Scotia, and the further he went, the darker he got. Distance never fixed it. Ask yourself, where have you been running? Listen closely and notice what he never does. He never cleans himself up first. He prays with “blood on my boots,” and he prays honestly. Scripture says that’s the right w...
