'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)

Ben Fuller - Chasing Rebels (CCM)

His heart is so full for God it overflows to others! His voice is so raw and it just brings you in. His songs are heart touching and they show his love for our Lord. I am so excited to share his music with everyone! Ben writes: 'I stood there surrounded by chain link fence and razor wire as the camera captured my beating heart. I shouted out with all I had in me, singing louder, and more emotional, in hopes you’d all see how I’ve changed. And somewhere in the middle of my performance, I began to cry, because I have been changed, and it wasn’t a music video, and right there, I realized that it was never you that I was singing to all along. Forever thankful for my life back.' 'Thank God, He chased this rebel (me) down. Never to return to the old life. Thank you Jesus.' We are happy to...
