In our hearts, we know that God is good and that He loves us, but every now and then, the world around us can obscure our vision, making us believe that God no longer cares. When the sun sets each day, leaving us in darkness, we know that it is still there. In the same way, we can enter a season where it seems like God has left us, but He is still there, just out of sight. In “Sunrise,” River Valley AGES reminds us that before long, we will always see God’s glory shining into our lives to light up our darkest moments.

It is amazing to think that the same kind of praise we lift up to God today is the same kind of praise that the heroes of the Bible proclaimed to God so long ago. Though the words and melodies may be different, the spirit of our worship to Christ remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. For eternity in heaven, we will join the songs of the angels, the saints before us, and the saints to come. In “Holy Forever,” Chris Tomlin reminds us of this fact, shifting our perspectives on our worship of God. On that glorious day in heaven, we will sing with a thousand generations, all lifting the same sound of praise to God. This is an encouraging and inspiring reminder of the day of our coming victory with Christ.

Not all of us are poetic enough to craft a groundbreaking and fully original faith statement, but that does not mean that our proclamation of belief is any less powerful. In “I Believe It (The Life Of Jesus),” Jon Reddick provides us with a straightforward, yet profoundly effective anthem for declaring our faith in Christ. Through this song, Reddick shows us that a simple statement can affirm our faith just as much as a complex one, as long as it is genuine.

Many of us think that we need to bring God amazing, extravagant offerings to be worthy of his time. We assume that our humble praise and our simple showings will be looked down on by God instead of appreciated for what they are. In “ Honest Offering / I Surrender All,” CAIN shows us that our offerings might seem pitiful to us, but to God, as long as we are praising and honoring Him in any way we can. To God, the smallest offerings and the smallest praises can be the most valuable if they are given in humility and earnestness.
