I’m an enthusiastic Cajun girl. I love food, football, talking with my hands, God’s Word, music, and jumping around a bit. This week’s song “Wake” by Hillsong Young & Free will put you in a dancing mood, but even better than that, it points us straight to Scripture.
I can’t think of any better reason that to dance around with joy and celebration than when I think of God’s unfailing love that will continue FOREVER!
In this episode, I discuss:
- Why my daughter Meredith picked this week’s song
- Permission to let loose a little when praising God – 2 Samuel 6:14
- Starting our day tuning into God – Psalm 5:3
- Walking where God leads – Deuteronomy 5:32-33
- What will really cause us to shine – Isaiah 58:6-12
- What Jesus has to say about our light – Matthew 5:14-16
- Episode 19 – thriving by streams of water
- New Release Tuesday’s Story Behind the Song
- The inspiration for this song – Psalm 100
- Others being drawn to the light God will shine upon us – Isaiah 60:1-3
