"My Greatest Weapon"

I have intentionally not written any thoughts about COVID 19 because we are being inundated with information. However when I heard this song for the first time a few days ago, my heart was stirred and my spirit buoyed. "My Weapon" sung by Natalie Grant is worth listening to. What powerful words for "just such a time as this".

"My Weapon" (Click to listen)

Let every lie be silenced

And all depression cease

Let every dark assignment

Bow down at Jesus' feet

Let every curse be broken

Let every storm be tamed

And all that come against us

Be bound in Jesus' name

Your presence is my greatest weapon

Pushing back the darkness

Breaking every chain

My worship opens up the heavens

Crushing every stronghold

When I speak Your name

Your presence is my weapon

Your presence is my weapon

Your strength will not be shaken

Your love will not back down

Death has been defeated

What can stop me now

I hold on to what You've spoken

You said that I am free

You've given me Your promise

You are my victory

Your presence is my greatest weapon

Pushing back the darkness

Breaking every chain

My worship opens up the heavens

Crushing every stronghold

When I speak Your name

Your presence is my weapon

Your presence is my weapon

Your word and a melody

Are making a way for me

You defeat the enemy

This prison is shaking now

And these walls are coming down

Your presence makes me free

I am free

Your presence is my greatest weapon

Pushing back the darkness

Breaking every chain

My worship opens up the heavens

Crushing every stronghold

When I speak Your name

Your presence is my weapon

Your presence is my weapon

Your presence is my weapon

Can you imagine "holding fast" through COVID19 without God? Can you imagine what our lives will be like once we are given some "freedom"? I believe that our lives will never be the same as they were before March 2020. I pray that God has opened each of our eyes to the real and present moments in life; the important people/things in life; spending more time with Him and others we love; and having those all important conversations rather than texting all the time (I'm talking to myself!!!). How can we look at our lives in the same way as before March 2020?

God is working through each of us, and He is counting on each of us to grow stronger and do all we can for Him! There is no person in the world who has not been affected by this virus, but let us give a special thanks and praise to God for these frontline and essential workers.

Stay safe and healthy!
