~ God Sees - God Values ~

~ God Sees - God Values ~

If you are daily feeling that the stress, trials and negativity that you face and all whom you interact with are not at all worth it or question if your life holds any real value—you are not alone. But, friend, you are loved, valued and needed here, right where God has planted you, in this season of your life!


Let's remember to always look to our Awesome God for His Word faithfully reminds us of the tremendous value He places on every human life and how He shows us that He has great plans for each of our lives as Ambassadors of Christ/Children of God!

Here are but a few mentions of how much He values you. And me ...

1) “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27).

2) “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11).

3) “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you” (Jeremiah 31:3).

4) “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).

5) “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

6) “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1).

9) “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ … that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:4–7).

What great joy to be reminded that you and I belong to God and as we seek and do His will, clinging to the vine, His Word claims over and over that we are His cherished and valued treasure!

As I conclude this devotional to you this morning it is my hope that you were blessed and encouraged, as you read it.

~ The Master Songwriter ~




Yahweh, the master of sound, songwriting and music inspires, grows and strengthens us anew as we sing praise to Him. In our minds. In our spirits. In our souls. In our bodies.
He has intentionally designed music to move us, to transport us into a place of unique beauty and grace as His instruments reach within us.





"Sing to Yahweh a new song, for He has done wonderful things! His right hand and His holy arm have worked salvation for Him." Psalm 98:1

As followers of our Messiah, we are called to continue the old Hebrew tradition by 'singing a new song to the Lord'. Serving Him with gladness.





Both newly written or introduced songs can glorify our God while building us up! However, new songs are not meant to replace or take the place of old songs and hymns. Here's why ...

Old songs are 'new' to those hearing them for the first time.

Old songs may become 'new' when sung differently.

Our old songs and hymns become genuinely new songs when some new truth is discovered by the minds and hearts of those singing them for the first time. Let us enjoy God's grace and love by letting Him put a new song in our hearts according to His will and way!

May we be ever found 'Letting the word of Christ dwell in us richly, teaching and admonishing one and other with all wisdom, and singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with thankfulness in our hearts to our Father/God'. (Colossians 3:16)




Take good care, my friends!

"I will sing praise to ADONAI, my God, as long as I live." Psalm 104:33a

Keep growing, and sing out His praises!
