This brings it home even more powerfully and personally for me. Blessed words. Can you explain how an overall 9.5/10 rating is condemning a song entirely derived from Gods own book? And your family and your children We have a staff member, who will break into tongues and sobs uncontrollably when they play that song. If they had couched this song in the appropriate context with the responsibility that is laid out for those receiving the blessing, I would feel really differently about it all, but alas it made just made me sad. Sad that there are websites, blogs, and YouTube channels devoted to being critical of others for their expression of worship. *Copyright 2020 Worship Together Music (BMI) Writers Roof Publishing (BMI) Capitol CMG Paragon (BMI) Kari Jobe Carnes Music (BMI) (adm. at CapitolCMGPublishing.com), Elevation Worship Publishing (BMI) (admin at EssentialMusicPublishing.com). .

Therefore it could not be anything else but a song about mans speciality or entitlement to Blessings i.e self adolatery & false euphoric emotional abuse,coupled with easily equally applicable to any false god worship. This blessing always seems to come straight from the mouth of God, when I hear it. For people who suffer from depression, PTSD, anxiety, negative self-talk, repetition of good and positive things is often the only way to recovery, because of how potent and incessant the unhealthy thought patterns are. * Songs that are almost like God talking to us or how he feels about us are either in the 3rd or 4th category those ones are tricky. When this Psalm is read in its context (and exclusively in its context) one could legitimately say, 1) Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life unaccompanied by anything else suggests that God is pleased with unrepentant sinners as they are, who neither know, love, nor follow him (I substituted the Words from verse 6 in the place of He is for you in the original quote). For me, the repetition did just that I struggle from anxiety and this song just kept making its way into my mind and I couldnt get it out. First, Psalm 23 starts with The LORD is my shepherd. - Numbers 6:24-26. It also gives recourse to the author through the court system to stop misuse and to impose a penalty on those who refuse to comply with the authors limits on the use of his/her work. 26 May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.' Numbers 6:24-26 The New King James Version (NKJV) 24 "The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace." ' Numbers 6:24-26 New Century Version (NCV) The songs title summarizes the entire song. Like God's grace.His favor is also unmerited.

However, they could also be lead astray, thinking that God is with, within, and for them without repentance or faith. Comfort to all, Maggie.

[ section 2 Chorus ] which you are 100% correct about & under criteria 2 Bridge section 2, you add as proof text Jeremiah 23:23-24 Interesting though, the point I wish to make is exactly within the verses prior to vers 23 which expands on the commen Church Blessing & one could ask if it is in fact Biblical in all circumstances, or should one not be more careful in how we phrase it in general? If we are blessed, we must be a blessing to others and not just to those around us, but to the nations. Place me in a position to succeed. I also leave it playing on the TV when away as a cleansing of the house. It is elevating Him not blessing us worship is not for my or any believers blessing! who was, and is, and is to come..

So, the question becomes, if God doesnt forget, why can we and do we ask Him to remember? How do I respond to this?
