'Know You' by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Experiencing God’s Presence


Marc & Jalyn McGill's song 'Know You' is about what it means to really value God's presence more than His promises. This track is from their brand-new album 'Between Barren & Beautiful.'

Marcus & Jalyn McGill - Know YouMarcus and Jalyn start the song by reminding us that while we often pray for God's promises to come true, it’s important that we don't lose sight of our love for Him. If you continuously put your relationship with God first, then His promises will follow. There is an important question in the pre-chorus that might really hit some people: 'Do I want God more than I want His promises?' Hopefully, this question will make you reflect on your spiritual journey.

I expect that you too will find yourself immersed in the chorus, singing, 'I wanna know You, just rest in who You are.' It's a call to experience God's heart and surrender your life to Him. And by the time you reach the bridge, the song's message should be loud and clear: the more you know God, the more you want Him. Keep your eyes fixed on God, focus on staying in His presence, and trust in His timing.

Take a break to listen to 'Know You.' May this message bring you closer to God, and help you to be patient. His promises will happen according to His timing.

(Related scripture: Matthew 6:33; Jeremiah 29:13; Psalm 16:11)

"In Victory" by Veanea: Praise Is How You Live in Victory

Jesus rose. That changes everything about today. Veanea had a simple goal: glorify the God of signs and wonders. What she didn’t expect was how quickly He would show up in the process.  Veanea had been working on a verse when a chorus for the song broke through —  “Amazing signs and wonders King!” She sang it over and over, sat down at the keys, and the bridge practically wrote itself. That evening, she prayed honestly, telling God she couldn’t write about His wonders without completely depending on Him. The next morning, on a train, she opened her Bible to Psalm 66. The verses seemed to sing right off the page in the exact melody she’d just received. She laughed, realizing that God had already answered.  That same joy runs through every line of the song. “You calmed the storm and stilled the wind and Your arm split the sea // So I can walk ahead in victory.” The God who parted waters for Israel is the same God who is walking with you through whatever it is that you’re carry...

"Guard My Heart From Lies" by whispering HOPE: Fully Changed, Fully His, Fully Free

When the lies crowd in, where do you run for truth? There is a whisper that knows exactly when to show up in your head. You hear it in the quiet moments — when doubt creeps in, when old wounds resurface, when confusion floods the mind before you have had a chance to stand firm. whispering HOPE wrote “Guard My Heart From Lies” from the very place where our battles for truth are fought, not on a stage but in the silence of your own thoughts. The song opens with a striking scene: “There’s a whisper at the window, speaking shadows to my mind, trying hard to steal the promise of the life You said was mine.” This enemy doesn’t need to shout. A whisper is more than enough to trigger the rest, unless you know whose voice to follow. And that is the reminder found in this song: “I don’t have to strive for rest, Your finished work has called me blessed.” This kind of rest isn’t something you earn or give yourself after a hard week. It is already yours. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes this clear: “If a...

"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 ...
