There is None Stronger

Father to the fatherless 

Defender of the weak
Freedom for the prisoner...

You're with us in the wilderness 

Faithful to provide...

Sing out 

Lift your voice and cry out
Awesome is our strong God 

Mighty is our God
Sing out 

Raise your hands and shout out
Awesome is our strong God

Mighty is our God

There is no higher no
There is no greater no
There is none stronger than our God

(Psalm 68:4-5)

As we sang this song in church tonight, my heart was touched.

 I realized that this song, these words, are meant for the world: they are meant for the people of Paris, the Syrian refugees, victims and families of ISIS members, and people around the world who have to watch lives of the innocent be stolen at the hands of evil men. 

In the midst of loss and pain and evil, we must remember that there is none higher, none greater than the God we serve.  

Our God is our Father, He is our Defender, He is our freedom. He is with us in moments of celebration and moments of grief. 

For families of victims of the Paris terror attacks must grieve, children who lost parents - people now fatherless - are still being held by our Lord. 

For Syrian refugees fleeing from their homes, from their country, who are literally wandering in the wilderness. 

God is with them in their wilderness. 

For the victims of ISIS being slaughtered, powerless to the forces around them, God is their defender.

Psalm 34:18-19 tells us, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." And that He is "our refuge and strength, and ever-present help in trouble" Psalm 46:1

In times of loss and fear, we cannot rely on our own understanding of a situation because we do not see the big picture. We must trust in the Lord (Proverbs 3:5), for victory rests in Him (Proverbs 21:30-31).

This song needs to become our declaration.
We cannot deny the power of our God. He is here, and there is none higher, none greater, none stronger.
God has already defeated sin and death.
We know how this war will end. <3
