Be The Hope - YouTube

I believe music can inspire, give hope, make you cry, make you think, and a million other things. I want to start posting some music that I really think speak to the times we are in. As you know, I listen to everything so tune in every day, never know what you will get.

For our 10th song, I picked Be The Hope by Creed Fisher. He is one of my favorite country artists. I really like this song because he talks about keeping your faith and being the hope in these dark times.

lyrics:

In a road full of darkness I still see the light
Get down on my knees and thank the Lord every night
For always providing everything that I need
I feel the power of Jesus, and His bible I read

The hard times are taking a toll
There’s a war going on for my heart and my soul
Look up toward the sky, the King still on His throne
Stand strong in your faith and be the hope

I’ve always loved the good old US of A
It comes from the heart when I stand up and say:
I’ll never run from the devil, oh, no
I know the good Lord above is still the one in control

These hard times are taking a toll
There’s a war going on for your heart and your soul
Look up toward the sky, the King still on His throne
Stand strong in your faith and be the hope

These hard times are taking a toll
There’s a war going on for my heart and my soul
Look up toward the sky, the King still on His throne
Stand strong in your faith and be the hope
Look up toward the sky, the King still on His throne
Stand strong in your faith and be the hope
Stand strong in your faith and be the hope

I Do Not Fight Alone

A reader shared this on her blog the other day and it reminded me that maybe it is time I repost it on mine.  I need warriors to go with me and fight this fight.

Society wants me to conform. I will not conform.

I have had enough. I could not take It anymore. I had tried and tried but no one would go with me. If no one will go with me, I will do it alone.

I don’t see things any differently than anyone else. They all see the world is falling apart. The difference is I couldn’t sit still and watch it get worse. I couldn’t stay quiet and let the evil keep talking.

You know what they say, there is no God, he isn’t here, he doesn’t care. If there was a God then why….If there was a God then where was he when….

Well, didn’t we ask him to leave? We took him out of schools, court,  any kind of gathering. We let the minority rule. If one person doesn’t like it then no one can enjoy it. It’s no wonder suicides have increased, opioid epidemic, mass shootings, over the counter meds for anxiety,  divorce.

Nothing is sacred anymore.

I left to face the demons on my own. It wasn’t long before they had gathered to defeat me.

I drew my sword and drew a line in the sand.

I said,  “If you are not a believer, you can not cross this line.”

The demons smiled at me as they approached the line. “My dearest friend, do you not know, even we demons believe.”

The demons crossed the line and I took a step back. The demons drooled and laughed. “So, friend , you do fear us.”

To their surprise, I then took a step forward with a smile on my face.

“I am not your friend.”

I knew what they did not. The demons hesitated for a second but that’s all I needed.

I drew my sword but it was only for a diversion. The demons attacked.

The demons were so consumed with me that they didn’t notice the warrior angels that had surrounded them.
