TO ALL MY CANADIAN READERS…
HAPPY CIVIC HOLIDAY!!!!

I Hope You’re relaxing.  As usual, I’m not sending out a devotion cause I’m out with the fam on this day off work riding the motorcycle to get ice-cream at the Dairy Freez!

 Get ready for tomorrow’s #SoulH2O devotion.
I share something about myself that you’d never guess!!!

I’ve received a lot of feedback from my DO YOU NEED TO TAKE DOWN A GOLIATH? post! It seems I’m not the only one facing tough times in their life.  People are reporting giants of all shapes and sizes.  Whether yours is: financial, relational, physical or spiritual; roaring in your ear at work, in the home, at school or on the field…

God wants you to take down your Goliath!

Giants are seldom taken down overnight, so I thought you might need a little more encouragement on the battlefield.  I know the podcasts and books I suggested in the previous post will help, but if you’ve listened to them and still need a boost, I’ve got just the right thing for you!

Music motivates me powerfully and I know it helps a bunch of you too.  In the past I’ve shared some of my favorite music in #MusicPics posts on the blog or just as Facebook links.  However I share them, I usually get word back from readers on how the song(s) inspire.  Take a look at this list of my latest #MusicPics complete with links to help bring your Goliath down!

I want to thank those readers who sent me some MUSIC THAT HELPS TAKE GIANTS DOWN for this list.

My favorite lines as recorded on AZ Lyrics (link above):

But the stone was just the right size
 To put the giant on the ground
 And the waves they don't seem so high
 From on top of them looking down
 I will soar with the wings of eagles
 When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
 Singing over me
