Leave it to Beth Moore to touch 3 generations of women in the same family with 1 study! My grandmother and mother have recently been finishing up Beth Moore’s Revelation bible study. Part of this study involved thinking about and … songs that you have “lived” or that have lyrics that relate perfectly to something you have gone through… Both my mom and grandma along with the many ladies that also participated in this study were uniquely affected by this particular part of the study. So how did this translate to me? Well, one day while riding in the car with my family, Nichole Nordeman’s song Brave happened to come on the radio. My mom, with what she had recently learned in the study still fresh on her mind, was listening to the lyrics closely. She made a comment about how this song could be a song that I have “lived.” Later, after looking up the exact lyrics and listening to the song again, I definitely agree! This song is truly AMAZING and completely fits what God has been teaching me and where I am headed! Over the last few days, this song has be a huge encouragement to me to keep following Christ with a completely abandoned heart despite how far away this is from the “safe and sound” status quo of modern day Christianity. This song is helping me to keep following the guidance of my Lord despite how far out of my comfort zone He is taking me!
Maybe you need to hear these words to. Maybe God is trying to draw you away from the “road paved in moderation” and deeper into the incredible plan He has for you. The joy and power and peace that comes from facing trials with complete knowledge that you are obediently following the King of kings!
Brave by Nichole Nordeman,
The gate is wide
The road is paved in moderation
The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in
Welcome to the middle ground
You're safe and sound and
Until now it's where I've been
'Cause it's been fear that ties me down to everything
But it's been love, Your love, that cuts the strings
So long status quo
I think I just let go
You make me want to be brave
The way it always was
Is no longer good enough
You make me want to be brave
Brave, brave
