Still, Still With Thee - Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotional

STILL, STILL WITH THEE

SONG DEVOTIONAL

Beloved, one of the greatest blessings of salvation is the daily fellowship we have with our precious Lord Jesus. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, we have been brought into the very presence of Almighty God and invited to fellowship and walk with Him each day. Beloved, how astonishing and wonderful is that! Jesus is not a distant Savior but an ever-present Shepherd who delights in the fellowship with His blood-bought sheep.

Whether in the quietness of the morning, the responsibilities of the day, or the stillness of the evening, Jesus remains with us always. He feeds us and strengthens us through His Word; He comforts us by His Spirit, and faithfully guides us in the paths of RIGHTEOUSNESS for His great Name's sake. O the sweet sweet fellowship with Jesus in RIGHTEOUSNESS! How it makes the heart to sing!

Beloved, what a privilege it is to begin each day with the simple desire: "Still, still with Thee." As we abide in Him, we grow in His agape love, we feed on His Word, we reflect on His RIGHTEOUS character, and find our greatest delight in His ETERNAL presence. One day, beloved, the fellowship we enjoy by faith in this fallen nature and world will become perfect ETERNAL sight as we dwell with our precious Savior's presence FOREVERMORE.

THOU ART MY GOD

 SONG DEVOTIONAL

"O God, You are my God; earnestly I seek You..." (Psalm 63:1)

David wrote Psalm 63 while he was being hunted down by King Saul. While on the run, David was continually surrounded by uncertainty and hardship, yet his greatest desire was not for comfort or deliverance but God Himself! O beloved, those are the very times when the Almighty is beyond precious and desired above all. Indeed, our soul thirsts for the living God, knowing that God's steadfast agape love is better than life itself (Psalm 63:3)!

The very same longing of the heart should fill every child of God, whatever season of life they find themselves in, for the Lord alone satisfies the deepest needs of our hearts. His ETERNAL presence brings peace in the our wilderness, His ETERNAL Word strengthens us in our weakness, and His ETERNAL faithful love gives us ETERNAL hope through every trial that comes our way. As we seek our Faithful Shepherd daily, we discover that our greatest joy is not found in life's changing circumstances but in our unchanging Savior.

Beloved, whether we walk through seasons of abundance or seasons of waiting, our song remains the same: "Thou art MY God." He is MY refuge, MY strength, MY portion, MY hope, MY portion, and MY EVERLASTING joy! Beloved, Almighty God is the believer's personal pronoun, God! Is He yours? As you abide in and follow your precious Jesus, He will comfort and lead, and your hearts will be filled with wondrous praise, knowing that He is always with you, and that one day your faith will become sight, and you will worship your God face to face FOREVER.

Heavenly Father,

You are my God, and my heart longs for You. Thank You for Your steadfast love that satisfies my soul and never fails. Help me to seek You above all else and to find my joy, hope, and strength in Your ETERNAL presence. Keep my eyes always fixed on my Jesus until the day I see You face to face.

In Jesus' name I ask these things, Amen.

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!

From Eagles Wings

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.

Unto the Chief Musician Music Song Devotional for Count it All Joy CD!

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.
