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

Name a popular bird found in a zoo.

  1. Parrot (26)

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.

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:

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

Spreading the Love!

Today’s Motivation comes from CAIN and their latest song, ‘Any More.’ The song was co-written by the Cain siblings, Madison, Taylor and Logan, with Jeff Pardo and Matthew West.

Here’s what Taylor told CCM Magazine last May about this song, “As a new mom, I’m starting to understand the love of God a little bit better. When I look at my daughter Stevie, I don’t need anything in return from her. There’s nothing she could do to change the amount of love that I have for her. The enemy lies to us, tries to tell us that we’ve made too many mistakes, that we’re too far gone, and that God couldn’t love us anymore. We hope when you hear this song, you can sing it victoriously knowing the truth is that God couldn’t love you any more than He does right now.”

Today’s winners:
Mike from Mount Vernon – answered this question: A winged figure is often associated with Valentine’s Day. The Greeks called him Eros but today we know him by what name? The answer? Cupid.
Mike wins a certificate for a dozen carnations to Flowers For You.
Lisa from Mount Vernon – answered this question: Shakespeare mentions Valentine’s Day in which of his plays? Ironically, this play deals with revenge, not love. The answer? Hamlet.
Lisa wins a WNZR goodie bag with a t-shirt and a $5 gift certificate to the Gospel Christian Life Shop.
