"Giver of All Things Good" by Galen Crew: The Unchanging Source of Every Gift


What if every good thing in your life leads back to a single, unchanging source? That's exactly the truth Galen Crew and co-writer Jesse Reeves share with their song "Giver of All Things Good." They ask you to take a closer look at the incredible gifts you have received in your life. It's a reminder that "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change." - James 1:17 (NIV)

Galen Crew - Giver of All Things GoodIn a world where everything is constantly changing. Whatever was sure yesterday can change in the blink of an eye. Political unrest, acts of nature, the list goes on... but God remains the same. "You never change // Your glory shines // No shadow remains // All that I have // Comes from above." Everything from the breath in our lungs to the grace that refines and purifies us comes from our Father. Galen acknowledges that all we have is "made by your hands." So, how can we best respond? Galen has that answer... it's with wholehearted devotion. "All of my worship all my praise // All of my life lived for your name."

Listen closely to the lyrics, and take a moment to read the recommended scriptures. What stands out is the fact that the focus is on relationship over religion. It's about our relationship with the Father. It is through our relationship with Him that He places "an eternal spring" in our hearts and shapes us. It's personal. It's powerful.

Instead of chasing fleeting blessings, Galen points us to the origin: "Everything perfect comes from you." May this song help you to realize that "Every breath inside my lungs // Is a gift sent from above." May your response be an offering of continuous devotion.

(Related scripture: James 1:17; Malachi 3:6; Psalm 103:2)

'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...

"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 ...
