David Crowder's new cd "REMEDY" is the most played cd on my iPod right now. Crowder's musical genius and lyricism have captured me as a listener and I am continuing to discover new creative musical elements throughout each tap of the repeat button. I am highly recommending this cd to everyone, and you can count on hearing some of these songs on a Sunday morning. christianmusictoday.com says, "Remedy focuses on God's constant presence as the answer to our hurts while challenging listeners to be the balm needed in the lives of others."read the full article here
I'm reading through a little book right now called "The Unquenchable Worshipper" written by Matt Redman. In it he discusses how we are to be so amazed by God and His wonder's that from our hearts burns a love and passion for Him that cannot be extinguished.The prophet Habakkuk is an example of an this kind of unquenchable worshipper. Though the fig-tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. (Habakkuk 3:17-18)
Though the fire for the Lord in Habakkuk's heart was trying so hard to be extinguished by the events going on around Him, Habakkuk found rest in the Lord. The decision had been made in Habakkuk's heart to rejoice and praise God in all circumstances, even when his world seemed to be crumbling. He decided that he would choose to respond to God's worth no matter how bleak a season he found himself in.
