The one who holds the stars!

Monday Motivation today? Well, this one’s easy as we witness a solar eclipse. Watch this one from Skillet and know that YOU ARE LOVED today!

If You can hold the stars in place
You can hold my heart the same
Whenever I fall away
Whenever I start to break
So here I am, lifting up my heart
To the one who holds the stars

The deepest depths, the darkest nights
Can’t separate, can’t keep me from Your sight
I get so lost, forget my way
But still You love and You don’t forget my name

The Everlasting God

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from Isaiah 40:28-31 and the song ‘Everlasting God’ by Lincoln Brewster:
Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.

 Name something you might find in a tree.

Believe For it!

Today we featured CeCe Winans and her amazing, ‘Believe for It,’ as our Monday Motivation song.

Matthew 19 is a Q&A with Jesus and the disciples, where we are reminded that with God, nothing is beyond his domain!

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

From the impossible
We’ll see a miracle
God, we believe for it!

Enjoy these videos from CeCe!

Name something you might find in the kitchen cabinet.

  1. Dishes (27)
  2. Glasses (22)
  3. Bowls (21)

The grace when I hit the bottom

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from Colton Dixon and his song, My Light.

Psalm 119 reminds us, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

I’ve tried on my own strength, but I just trip and fall
Put my faith in the wrong things, turns out after all
You’re the answer for every problem
You’re the grace when I hit the bottom
The lamp unto my feet, oh Lord, let it shine

Here’s Colton’s lyric video:

Name a fruit you might eat for breakfast.
