\"\"<\/a>If you were to walk into my office right about now, you\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here are the lyrics to \u201cDays of Elijah.\u201d Take a look.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cDays of Elijah\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are the days of Elijah,
\nDeclaring the word of the Lord:
\nAnd these are the days of Your servant Moses,
\nRighteousness being restored.
\nAnd though these are days of great trial,
\nOf famine and darkness and sword,
\nStill, we are the voice in the desert crying
\n‘Prepare ye the way of the Lord!’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Behold He comes riding on the clouds,
\nShining like the sun at the trumpet call;
\nLift your voice, it’s the year of jubilee,
\nAnd out of Zion’s hill salvation comes.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are the days of Ezekiel,
\nThe dry bones becoming as flesh;
\nAnd these are the days of Your servant David,
\nRebuilding a temple of praise.
\nThese are the days of the harvest,
\nThe fields are as white in Your world,
\nAnd we are the laborers in Your vineyard,
\nDeclaring the word of the Lord!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s no God like Jehovah.
\nThere’s no God like Jehovah![i]<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The author of \u201cDays of Elijah\u201d scrolls through history and shares the biblical character\u2019s view of their circumstance. Declaration, restoration, guidance, revival, praise, harvest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I see how relevant God\u2019s Word and message are in our world. Each biblical character followed God\u2019s commands and were servants of the Almighty. But as they served God, they also experienced difficulties. Isolation, slavery, trials, famine, darkness, war, death, rubble.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These are some of the situations we find ourselves in or experience in our lives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We too can experience these in our lives when we come to know God as our heavenly Father and Jesus as our personal Savior.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This song offers hope. Joy. Love. And because we have found hope, we offer praise to the God who provided it all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jesus is that hope. Riding on the clouds. Shining like the sun. Coming to offer salvation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will you accept that offer of salvation? Will today be your day of jubilee?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve 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?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are you ready to dance with me? If so, here\u2019s the link <\/a>to a great version of this song. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today, declare with me that there is no God like Jehovah! \u201cBehold, 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.\u201d<\/em> (Isaiah 12:2 \u2013 KJV)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
