See a Victory

Last updated

You know, worship is a powerful weapon. It's like a counter-attack on whatever the enemy is trying to bring against you. When you're facing or battling anxiety, choose to worship your way through it. If you're feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, you can choose worship. In 1 Corinthians 15, it says, thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. You can stand on the authority of the word of God, that whatever you're up against, it is no match for Jesus. He's never lost a battle before, and he's not going to start with yours. Our new song, "See A Victory," has become one of those songs that I've put in my own personal armory when I'm in the middle of a struggle or a fight. When I choose praise over fear, even in the face of overwhelming odds, I can trust that God is fighting my battles for me, and he's turning things around from my good in his glory. — Chris Brown [7]
