'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)

"Take the Wheel" by Bonnie Jean Bailey: Why Surrender Feels So Hard

What are you still holding on to instead of giving it to God?  Three in the morning has a way of exposing what we’ve been avoiding all day. Bonnie Jean Bailey knows that hour well. In her song “Take the Wheel,” she sings about the tossing and turning, being “sick and tired of all this worrying,” and bags so heavy they threaten to burst. Can you picture that? Most of us carry something similar. Possibly we don’t call it a levy as Bonnie does, but the burden isn’t less.  Bonnie points out a pattern that we need to be aware of… “Every time I try to hand it over, I take it back cuz I need control of everything.” Does this sound familiar? We pray about something that is worrying us, feel a moment of relief, and then quietly pick up the burden again an hour or so later.  Bonnie isn’t preaching from a distance here. She’s describing her own tug-of-war between fear and faith. And to be honest, that could also be my tug-of-war that she is describing. Is it also your tug-of-war a...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"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 ...
