If you were to walk into my office right about now, you’d see me dancing in my seat. I love this song and while the tune and rhythm and style grab my attention (and perhaps yours as well), the lyric of this song brings a smile to my face.

Here are the lyrics to “Days of Elijah.” Take a look.

“Days of Elijah”

These are the days of Elijah,
Declaring the word of the Lord:
And these are the days of Your servant Moses,
Righteousness being restored.
And though these are days of great trial,
Of famine and darkness and sword,
Still, we are the voice in the desert crying
‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord!’

Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
Shining like the sun at the trumpet call;
Lift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
And out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.

These are the days of Ezekiel,
The dry bones becoming as flesh;
And these are the days of Your servant David,
Rebuilding a temple of praise.
These are the days of the harvest,
The fields are as white in Your world,
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard,
Declaring the word of the Lord!

There’s no God like Jehovah.
There’s no God like Jehovah![i]

The author of “Days of Elijah” scrolls through history and shares the biblical character’s view of their circumstance. Declaration, restoration, guidance, revival, praise, harvest.

I see how relevant God’s Word and message are in our world. Each biblical character followed God’s commands and were servants of the Almighty. But as they served God, they also experienced difficulties. Isolation, slavery, trials, famine, darkness, war, death, rubble.

These are some of the situations we find ourselves in or experience in our lives.

And yet, we find these great leaders of the Bible also found refuge in God. He provided all that was needed. A message. Freedom. Comfort. Provision. Light. Peace. Life. Beauty.

We too can experience these in our lives when we come to know God as our heavenly Father and Jesus as our personal Savior.

This song offers hope. Joy. Love. And because we have found hope, we offer praise to the God who provided it all.

Jesus is that hope. Riding on the clouds. Shining like the sun. Coming to offer salvation.

Will you accept that offer of salvation? Will today be your day of jubilee?

If you’ve already accepted this gift, are you praising the One who made it all possible? Are you sharing the message? Are you a laborer in the field of harvest?

Are you ready to dance with me? If so, here’s the link to a great version of this song. Enjoy!

Today, declare with me that there is no God like Jehovah! “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.” (Isaiah 12:2 – KJV)

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,

Donna
