Red Letter Society's 'Peace' - Finding God in the Valleys


When you listen closely to Red Letter Society's newest song 'Peace,' you'll quickly feel that there is more to this song than what the lyrics are sharing. Even when things look the worst, the lyrics remind us that God is with all who invite Him into their lives and will light up your ways. 'Through the valleys, darkest shadow, I will remain in perfect peace,' the song begins. Powerful words that invite you to experience God's peace even when surrounded by life's struggles, and a link is quickly made to Psalm 23.

Red Letter Society - PeaceBut what sparked this song was the heartbreaking loss of two miscarriages, and it's easy to imagine that this was a period filled with deep grief. As you would expect from Red Letter Society, they found solace in each other and the Scriptures, particularly Psalm 23, which talks about God walking with us through the valley of the shadow of death. A true message of hope.

There is so much comfort to be found in the chorus: 'I will fear no path that you will lead, on this road you walk with me.' You can rest assured that you don't have to walk alone. Invite Him into your life, because with the Shepherd King by your side there's nothing to fear.

He wasn't just promising that fear would go away; he also promises us eternal hope, 'Surely goodness will follow me, forever with my King.' His promise to us, His followers, is that we will find al eternal peace in God's house.

Just take a moment to listen to 'Peace.' God's love and comfort are always with you, even when circumstances look terrible. May this song remind you of that.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:4-5; John 14:27; Isaiah 26:3)

'The Fall' by Josh Wright: Embracing Healing Through Pain

Josh Wright's new song, 'The Fall,' is about the dark and heavy moments that often come with loss, grief, and sin. Most of us have been there, feeling a deep sense of guilt and shame. But that is not where God wants us to linger! Yes, it's important to understand the consequences of our actions, but there is also a next chapter. God wants us to 'get up' and 'keep going.'  Josh beautifully sings about this next chapter in 'The Fall.' With lyrics like, 'I didn't want the valley, I didn't want the dark,' you can feel the pain and reluctance that Josh experienced. He continues, 'Nobody wants to stumble or ever hit the ground. Nobody wants to have to hurt for healing to be found.'   Josh emphasizes that although we're not looking for pain, it does play an important part in understanding God's love. If there is no contrast, e.g., no pain, then how will we be able to appreciate God's love and plan for us? This is how
