What began as merely adding a song of praise to my playlist, launched me into God's Word and thrilling discovery as God revealed new things. I can't wait to share where this week's song by Selah, "You Amaze Us", leads us in Scripture!

Music is key in our worship, but we discover this week what our worship needs to include...you might be surprised!

This Week's Challenge
First...slow down and remember. Perhaps this is the first episode you have heard and you never heard the challenge to write down what God has done for you in Episode 35. Perhaps you heard the challenge and you keep thinking you'll get "around to it". Slow down and remember. In Psalm 105 where the verses in common end, the remembrances begin. A recounting of what God had done in the history of Israel. Recount what God has done in your life. Remember. Write it down. And then add in what you have learned and challenge yourself to discover if you have responded in faith and obedience. Use Psalm 105 as inspiration for what a Psalm of remembrance looks like. Use Psalm 143 as an example of what an earnest appeal for guidance and deliverance looks like, if that is the season you are in. Meditate on 1 Chronicles 16 and focus on the Levites who Scripture says were "expressly named to give thanks to the Lord" and see what you can learn from their assignment and response.
