Oh The Power

Imagine waking up every day with an unshakable belief that you are incredibly valuable. Picture carrying this knowledge, not just in your mind but deep in your heart, driving your actions and shaping your life. What if I told you that melodies, just like the ABCs, can be tools that lead us into this profound realization?

In our lives, just as in any project, having the right tools for the job is crucial. Songs, I believe, are these tools. They are more than mere music; they are profound expressions of the human experience. They help us navigate the various moments in our journey, just like the ABCs help us communicate. The alphabet is just 26 letters that make up our English language, and it's the building block of how we write and talk and sing. But imagine handing a toddler a jumble of 26 letters; it would be chaos. However, when we put those letters with a melody, suddenly they become accessible, and they guide us as we learn to write, speak, and read.

Similarly, our faith journey is enriched by the melodies that resonate with our souls. One such melody is “Oh The Power," a tune that grounds us in the truth of our identity. It reminds us that we are created in the image of God, yet we often stray from His plan in pursuit of our own.

This wandering leads to what we call an "orphan heart," a feeling of scarcity, self-doubt, and questioning our worthiness. Have you ever wondered if you were good enough or if you truly belonged? Have you ever felt that your value was tied to your latest success?

The beauty of our faith lies in the fact that God sent Jesus to pave a way back home for us. Through His life, death, and the shedding of His blood, we find evidence of our adoption into God's family. Despite our striving, fighting, and anxieties, God declares, "I have a place for you."

Now, just imagine if we all woke up not only with the knowledge but also with the unwavering belief that we are immeasurably valuable—valuable enough that Jesus would lay down His life on our behalf so that we could fully embrace this truth.

The song “Oh The Power” is a tool I keep close to my heart. It serves as a reminder of who God is and who we are because of Him.
