'Dance with the Devil' by Brittany Bexton: Breaking Free from Destructive Cycles


Brittany Bexton's new song 'Dance with the Devil' is a powerful song that we believe you want to hear. Brittany, a Nashville singer/songwriter, digs deep into her own pain and the heartache that she sees in so many other people who are in abusive relationships. She knows how hard it is to watch loved ones suffer. She says, 'Kick that devil to the curb, you deserve so much better!' This song is her way of shouting out all of the things that she couldn't say before, and hopefully giving others the courage to break free from their own destructive cycles.

Brittany Bexton - Dance with the DevilThe message applies to a broader scope than abusive relationships. It also applies to any situation where you are controlled or pushed to do things against your will. E.g., situations where partners stop you from living your faith or limit you to becoming the best version of you. That is also a form of abuse!

The lyrics are powerful, especially when you realize where Brittany is coming from. She sings, 'You've been pulled through hell long enough, when someone chooses to hurt you, it isn't love,' and you can almost feel the weight lifting off your shoulders when you realize that you're not the only one that is going through this kind of situation. Brittany points out that it's not your job to fix whatever is already broken. When talking is getting you nowhere, then your best action is to find your worth and walk away from people that hurt you.

This line is really striking: 'You think if you spin around again, you'll make the devil dizzy and stop the sin.' In other words, you can't change people who won't see the truth. It's impossible to dance with the devil and not get hurt.

We suggest that you listen to 'Dance with the Devil.' When you realize that your dancing with the devil, may this song remind you that you're not alone and that you can get through it with God's help.

(Related scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:13; Ephesians 6:13; James 4:7)

"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....

"Welcome To Your Life" by Howard Gripp: A Fresh Start, Every Morning

What would change if today felt brand new?  Howard Gripp asked himself that same question on a beach, watching waves erase impressions in the sand, making the beach look as new again. He wasn’t planning to write a song. He was just sitting there, reflecting on his own journey, and recalling the day he realized he could leave his past behind and start fresh. That memory became the key message of this song: “every day is an opportunity for a new beginning.”   The lyrics open with Howard standing “out on the ocean’s edge,” the breeze in his head, the waves making “everything so clear.” Clarity like that doesn’t usually come from noise. It comes from stillness. “See your past, like footprints in the sand // Slowly fade as the tide rolls in.” Footprints don’t argue with the tide; they can’t, they’re powerless. They just vanish, one wave at a time.  Psalm 103:12 says the same thing, only louder, and puts it this way: “as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remov...

"Let It Rise - Live" by Hope Worship: When Surrender Becomes Worship

What if surrender opened the door to change?  Some songs ask nothing of you. “Let It Rise — Live” asks everything. Hope Worship wrote this song as a simple invitation that is meant to feel welcoming rather than complicated: ask the Holy Spirit to have His way in you. No hidden agenda, no complex theology lesson. Just an open door for the Holy Spirit.  Hope Worship repeats a line that sounds a bit risky: “Break my heart open.” Why would anyone ask for that? Because a closed heart can’t hold much of anything new. The song builds from that vulnerable request into a rising cry: “Let it rise like incense.” Picture the smoke curling upward, unhurried, unstoppable. That’s what surrendered worship looks like.  Keep that picture of incense in mind as you read Psalm 141:2, “Let my prayer be counted as incense before you, and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” David was offering something real, something costly, and trusting that God would receive it. Your daily...
