Have Faith in God - Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotional

 

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, there are seasons along our pilgrim journey when Almighty God's will simply does not seem to make any sense. The pathway may be filled with unknowns, tears, disappointments, and unanswered questions. Yet it is in those very moments that our Heavenly Father lovingly calls His children to simply have faith in Him! Faith does not rest upon what we can presently see or understand, but upon the unchanging RIGHTEOUS character and integrity of the One who faithfully leads us through life's floods and fires.

Like David, who “encouraged himself in the LORD his God” (1 Sam. 30:6), we must sometimes preach this simple truth to our own hearts: “Have faith in God” (Mark 11:22). Though we cannot always understand His purposes, by faith we know our Faithful Shepherd is leading and discipling us in it all! We know by faith His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS integrity and character, His ETERNAL agape love, His ETERNAL wisdom, and His ETERNAL precious promises will never let us down. Therefore, beloved, we can confidently believe that Almighty God is working all things together for our good as He disciples us and conforms us into the image of His precious Son (Rom. 8:28–29). It is in such horrific unknowns that, by having faith in our Heavenly Father's precious Son and pressing on, that we discover how precious our precious Shepherd is.

Beloved, even when “my tears have been my meat day and night” (Psalm 42:3), Almighty God remains ETERNALLY faithful. He uses every trial to deepen our faith, draw us closer to Jesus, and teach us to walk by faith rather than by sight. These present difficulties are temporary, but they are working toward an “ETERNAL weight of glory” beyond comparison (2 Cor. 4:17–18). Therefore beloved, keep your eyes upon Jesus and the prize at the end of your pilgrim journey! There is a "well done thou good and faithful servant" awaiting for you! When you cannot understand His hand, trust His heart. When you cannot see the pathway, follow your ETERNAL Faithful Shepherd and lean not on your own understanding. Whatever today may bring you, encourage your own heart once again in your Faithful Shepherd and have faith in God!

Am I, by faith, trusting in Almighty God's unchanging character when I cannot understand His plan?

What precious promise from God's Word can I hold onto and believe today?

How is my Heavenly Father using this present trial to deepen my faith and draw me closer to my precious Jesus?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Help me trust You when I cannot understand Your ways. Strengthen my faith through every trial, and keep my eyes fixed upon Jesus, knowing You are always faithful and at work for my ETERNAL good and Your glory.

We praise You and thank You in Jesus' precious Name. Even so come. Amen!

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, our Heavenly Father never intended His children to live weighed down by the cares and troubles of this fallen last days world. Instead, He calls us to lift our hearts and minds by faith on High to our risen victorious Savior, Who is seated at the right hand of Almighty God the Father (Psalm 110:1, Eph. 2:6, Col. 3:1-4)! He commands us to set all our hope and expectations on all of His ETERNAL precious promises found within His Holy Word (John 17:17, Eph. 1, Colossians 3:1–4).

As an eagle soars high above the storm by just spreading its wings, the child of God learns to rise far above all doubt, fear and discouragement by simple childlike faith in their ETERNAL Rock, Foundation, and Faithful Shepherd (Heb. 11:6). We do not ever rise by our own strength or by our own efforts, but we rise with child like faith, trusting in our Heavenly Father's Word and resting in His ETERNAL faithful care. It is He that guides, provides, and leads us through the valley of the shadow of death. It is He in His strength that allows us to soar far over all calamity and strife, and when the worst is yet to be, we know that He has a purpose and plan in it all. Beloved, we are to always find our hope in Him, to know that He is faithful and that He always is with us (Isa. 26:3, Phil. 4:6-7).

Beloved, as we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, His peace steadies our hearts and His truth becomes our weapon against all fear, temptation, and the lies of the enemy. Our Heavenly Father reminds us that our true ETERNAL life is hidden with Christ, and one day we will appear before Him in glory with exceedingly great joy!

No matter what we face today, we can live with an ETERNAL perspective rooted in our precious Heavenly Father. Our Faithful Shepherd as well is always faithfully leading us through Death's dark valleys, strengthening us, and carrying us by His grace until the day we see Him face to face and are with Him FOREVERMORE. Indeed God gives us eagles wings in this demonic fallen world, as we soar over it all by faith into His very presence one day!

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for giving me ETERNAL hope that reaches beyond this temporal fallen world. Please help me to keep my eyes fixed on my precious Jesus and to live with a biblical ETERNAL perspective.

When fear, sorrow, or discouragement comes, please graciously remind me that my life is hidden with Christ and that You are always faithfully working in me. Teach me to trust Your promises, stand upon Your Word, and walk by faith each day until I am with You.

Strengthen me through Your Holy Spirit to rise far above the horrific storms of life, knowing that You are always with me and that Your grace is always sufficient. May my life reflect the hope, peace, and joy that are found only in Jesus Christ.

I ask these things in the precious name of Jesus. Even so come. Amen.

Beloved, welcome to the Unto the Chief Musician Music Devotional Library!

Every song has a story, and our Heavenly Father's tender working and discipleship in it (Gal. 2:20, Eph. 2:10, Phil. 2:13).

Before it became a melody, it was first a work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts through His Word. As the Lord has faithfully taught, comforted, corrected, strengthened, and transformed us by His grace, many of those moments became songs of worship. These songs are ultimately a testimony of His faithfulness and His ongoing work in the lives of His people.

Our prayer, beloved, is that this devotional library will take you beyond simply listening to the music and into the Scriptures that inspired each song. Every devotion is centered on God's Word and reflects His work in us through passages such as Ephesians 2:10, Philippians 2:13, Matthew 11:28–30, Galatians 2:20, and John 15:1–9.

We invite you to read the devotion, meditate on the Scriptures, listen to the song, and allow the Lord to encourage and strengthen your walk with Him. It is our desire that these resources would help you know Christ more deeply, abide more fully in Him, and worship Him more wholeheartedly.

As the little boy offered his five loaves and two fish to Jesus, we humbly offer these songs and devotions to the Lord, trusting Him to use them according to His perfect will and for His glory alone.

"Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory." — Psalm 115:1

Count It All Joy!

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, trials are never ever easy, but our Heavenly Father calls His blood-bought children to see them through the eyes of faith and to focus on His ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS integrity and sovereignty for His good working in us (Phil. 2:13).

James tells us, "Count it all joy...when you meet trials of various kinds." Our joy is not in the trial itself, but in knowing that our loving Heavenly Father is using it to grow our faith, strengthen our character, and make us more like Jesus Christ.

As we cling to our Heavenly Father's ETERNAL promises, our hearts begin to burst into melody even in the fire. We know through past experiences that He has not abandoned us, that He is always with us, discipling us through every fiery trial and faithfully working all things together for good for those who love Him in Spirit and Truth (Romans 8:28).

Like gold refined by fire, our Precious Heavenly Father uses trials to purify our faith and deepen our dependence upon Him. Every tear, every struggle, and every hardship is held in the hands of our ETERNAL sovereign Shepherd, who is completing the good work He began in us (Philippians 1:6).

When the fire has accomplished our Heavenly Father's purpose, we will look back with exceeding joy and say, "The Lord was with me every step of the way." What once seemed impossible becomes another testimony of His faithfulness, and our hearts can fully and truly count it all joy!

PRAYER

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank You for never leaving me in the midst of life's trials. Help me to trust that You are working even when I cannot see what You are doing. Strengthen my faith to stand on Your ETERNAL promises and to rejoice in Your perfect ETERNAL plan for my life.

Use every trial to purify my heart, deepen my love for You, teach me in the ways of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and conform me to the image of Your dear and precious Son. Fill my heart with songs of praise, knowing that all things are working together for Your glory and my ETERNAL good.

Teach me, dear Lord, to walk by faith until Your work is complete, so that my life may testify that You were faithful through every fire. Receive the glory in all of this.

I ask these things in Your precious name, Lord Jesus. Even so come. Amen.

My Precious Lord - Unto the Chief Musician Song Devotional

My Precious Lord

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, the ETERNAL greatest gift God has ever given us is not simply His blessings; it is His own beloved, precious Son, where all ETERNAL fullness, glory, wisdom, power, grace, and blessing are found in RIGHTEOUSNESS.

As we walk with our precious Jesus each day, His Word and Person become more and more precious to us because it reveals the true beauty of His heart, His faithfulness, and His EVERLASTING agape love. Like the psalmist, as we learn to delight in His Word and Person and apply it in our pilgrim lives, we come to personally know and experience our precious Lord's heart more intimately and deeply (Psalm 119).

Our Good and Faithful Shepherd never withholds what is truly good for His children. He lovingly gives us grace for today, strength for every trial, wisdom for every decision, and hope for every tomorrow. Above all, He has freely given Himself to us to be our precious treasure and heart's desire and love.

The more we abide in Christ, the more we discover that He is our greatest treasure. His presence alone satisfies our weary hearts far more than anything this world can ever offer.

My Precious Lord is more than a song; it is the joyful confession of a surrendered abiding heart that has found its greatest delight in Jesus Christ, their Lord and Savior.

• James 1:17

 REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. Is Jesus Himself my greatest precious treasure, or have I become more focused on His blessings and gifts than on Him?

2. How has God's Word helped me know and love my precious Lord more deeply?

3. What good thing has God faithfully provided in my life that reminds me of His agape love and tender personal care?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for giving me Your precious Beloved Son. Thank You for Your precious Word, which reveals Your ETERNAL loving heart and patiently teaches me to know, trust, and love You more and more each day. Help me, dear Lord, to delight in You above everything else and to treasure Your presence more than the passing things of this fallen, dying world of ETERNAL vanity.

Thank You for being my faithful, precious Shepherd who never withholds what is truly good from me. Continue to disciple my heart, strengthen my faith, and help me abide in Your agape love. May my life continually declare that You, Lord Jesus, are my greatest treasure.

I ask these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Even so come, Lord. Amen.

Slayer of Giants - Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotional

Slayer of Giants

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, it is no secret that this pilgrim life is filled with many giants. We face life's trials, temptations, fears, suffering, loss, and spiritual battles that seem far greater than our own strength. Yet the Bible continually reminds us that our hope is never to be found in ourselves; it is ONLY to be found in Almighty God, our ETERNAL Slayer of Giants.

The same God who delivered David from Goliath is still the ETERNAL Slayer of Giants of today. He is the ETERNAL Lord of Hosts (Armies), our ETERNAL refuge, our ETERNAL strength, and our precious Faithful Shepherd who lives in us and walks with us through every battle that this pilgrim life throws at us. His ETERNAL presence gives us great confidence and courage because He has promised to NEVER leave us nor forsake us, and His ETERNAL victory strengthens our hearts because none can FOREVER stand before Him (Rev. 4-5).

The greatest giants that God's people will ever have to face are sin, the world, death, the grave, and Satan. Through Jesus' cross and glorious resurrection, Jesus has absolutely conquered them all FOREVER. He indeed is the ETERNAL Mighty Conquering Savior and lover of our very souls. Beloved, He is indeed our ETERNAL victorious Lord and King who reigns ETERNALLY in all power and might and who can EVER stand before Him. Because we are in Christ, we can face every trial by faith, knowing that nothing is greater than our God. He ETERNALLY stands alone victorious and uncontested.

Whatever giant stands before you today, remember that it stands before Almighty God first. He is working through every battle to strengthen your faith, display His glory, and draw you closer to Himself in His perfect agape love.

Our confidence is not in the size of our faith, but in the greatness of our God.

He is indeed our ETERNAL Slayer of Giants, our ETERNAL Deliverer, our ETERNAL Defender, and the Savior of our souls. Beloved, how wonderful is that (Rev. 1:17-18)!

2. How does remembering Jesus’ ETERNAL victory over sin, death, the world, and Satan strengthen my faith during life's battles?

3. Am I focusing more on the size of my problems or on the ETERNAL greatness of my God?

PRAYER

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for being my ETERNAL Slayer of Giants. Thank You that no battle is too great for You and no trial is beyond Your ETERNAL sovereign care. Help me, my precious Savior, to keep my eyes fixed on Your ETERNAL greatness rather than on the giants before me that scare and frighten me.

Strengthen my faith to trust in Your ETERNAL promises, walk in Your ETERNAL presence, and rest in Your perfect ETERNAL will. Thank You that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, You have destroyed, obliterated, and conquered sin, death, and Satan FOREVER.

As I abide in You, continue to disciple and quiet my heart and remind me that You are ALWAYS with me. May my life boldly proclaim that You alone are my Deliverer, my Defender, my Slayer of Giants and the ETERNAL Savior of my soul.

I ask these things in the mighty and victorious name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
