Job 33:4

My new song is called “Amadeo”, which is derived from the Latin term meaning “lover of God”. The inspiration for the song came a few months back as I observed one of my dear friends go through one of the most painful situations a person could face. Watching someone navigate tremendous grief in such a God-honoring manner changed the way I have approached the Lord over the past months.

"Worship Forever" is the latest album from Michael W. Smith where he re-imagines his original 2001 "Worship" album with a symphony orchestra. This companion 5-day devotional is a journey back to the 'heart of worship', to renew our dependence on God and to draw closer to Him not only in singing worship, but living every day in the awe of our AWESOME GOD.

These five daily devotions are based on Max Lucado’s book and Bible study, Help Is Here. You don’t need to walk this path alone. You don’t have to carry weight you were not intended to bear. It’s time for you to enjoy the presence of the Holy Spirit and experience the vigorous life he offers.

One way to view life’s most painful journeys is through the prism of grieve, breathe, receive (GBR). When Friday’s sudden darkness (grief) leads to Saturday’s confusion and questions (breathe), we eagerly await Sunday’s resurrected peace and possibility (receive). Along the way, we can embrace the process or resist it. I pray that in these devotionals, you will glimpse the power of grace, mercy, love, and hope for your own journey.
