Sit, Walk, Stand


Did you ever notice how a song stays with you?  When it comes to memorizing Scripture, whatever verses I have put to memory by repetition I have usually forgotten.

But psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, I remember.  For decades.

We all remember songs from way back when.  There is something about a song that has that kind of staying power.  I am so grateful for this!  

I have written a song about some foundational truths from Ephesians.  The song reminds us of:

1. Who we are in Christ.  We are seated with Christ in the Heavenly realms.  This is our position in Christ—“SIT” (2:6)
2. How we are to walk, or live, as Christians worthy of our calling —“WALK” (4:1)
3. How we take our stand against the enemy and his schemes —“STAND” (6:11)

Ephesians 2:6, NLT: "For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus."

Ephesians 4:1, NIV: "As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received."

Ephesians 6:11, NIV: "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." 

I can pretty much guarantee that you will forget the words of this blog.  But my song?  It will stick with you.  

I thank God for songs that get in our souls and spirits and minds to help transform us!
