David's Daily Devotion for Sept. 9

September 9, 2022 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, September 9.

We have a worship tradition here at First Baptist Church of Center, Texas. At the beginning of each year - in January - and at the beginning of each church year - in September - we sing an extraordinary song. It's a song of hope, a song of purpose, a song of vision. It's called “Days of Elijah”.

Robin Mark is a worship leader in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Almost 30 years ago, he was inspired to write this unique worship song. A song that speaks of heroes of the faith like Ezekiel, David, Moses, John the Baptist, and the prophet Elijah. Men who lived in challenging times. Men who stood up and made a difference. Men after God’s own heart.

“Days of Elijah” is a stirring song. A song that leads us to praise. A song that encourages us to serve. A song that reminds us that we, too, can make a difference in our troubled times - through the power of our great God Jehovah!

We’ll be singing it again this Sunday morning. And you can sing it again today.

Behold He comes, riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun, at the trumpet call
Lift your voice, it’s the Year of Jubilee
And out of Zion’s Hill salvation comes!

Meet you back here on Monday,
Bro. David
