Forever Reign

This week's theme is from the song called "Forever Reign", written by Jason Ingraham from One Sonic Society and Reuben Morgan from Hillsong in Australia.  

Scripture:
Ephesians 3:14-19 "For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

What a powerful verse from Paul to dwell on as we focus and CONFESS our dependence and love for God!  Yes - CONFESS (DECLARE) who He is and how great God is.  Listen to what the author of this song shares about confession in this song.

Quote from Reuben Morgan:
"The message of the song is very confessional. Throughout the song we declare who God is, “You are good, You are love, You are light, You are hope, You are peace, You are joy and You are life.” At the same time, we combine that message of who God is with our response, “You are good, You are good, when there’s nothing good in me.” I hope the song enlarges God in our view of Him. We need to know that God is not diminished by our circumstances, doubts or our response."

That is so empowering for us as believers to understand today and to embrace all of who God is in our lives.  There are so many ways to come to God today and approach Him.  Question - how do you approach God?  When you begin your conversation with Him, how does it begin?  When was the last time you confessed to God who He is in your life?  If it has been a while, then read these lyrics of confession of who God is and worship God through this prayer today.

Lyrics:
You are good, You are good
When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life,
In You death has lost it's sting

Oh, I’m running to Your arms,
I’m running to arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In Your presence I'm made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I'm letting go

Oh, I’m running to Your arms
I’m running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

My heart will sing
no other Name
Jesus, Jesus
