11/14-11/18 Devo Two

This video is the second devotional for the week of November 14 through November 18. We can all sing the words to songs, but is something blocking our hearts from truly entering in to worship? This brief, reflective video will challenge you to think about and adjust your readiness to praise God. Featuring the song "Doxology" from Page CXVI (pagecxvi.com). Video produced by Shift Worship What do you think?


BIO
Shift Worship is the company Valley Christian gets most of it's backgrounds, countdowns, and videos from. The newer version of "Doxology" is fresh and reflective. Page CXVI is a project started with the idea of making Hymns accessible and known again (http://pagecxvi.com/). Hymns are some of the richest, most meaningful, and moving pieces of music ever written. The name Page CXVI comes from a reference to page 116 in one copy of The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis. It is a poignant passage where Aslan begins to sing Narnia into creation out of a black void. It starts,
“In the darkness something was happening at last. A voice had begun to sing. It was very far away and Digory found it hard to decide from what direction it was coming. Sometimes it seemed to come from all directions at once. Sometimes he almost thought it was coming out of the earth beneath them. Its lower notes were deep enough to be the voice of the earth herself. There were no words. There was hardly even a tune. But it was, beyond comparison, the most beautiful noise he had ever heard. It was so beautiful he could hardly bear it.” ~ C.S. Lewis

  1. A good reminder to evaluate the things in our life that may be hindering our ability to connect with God. The video points out lots of good places to look for these hindrances, such as anger, fear, unrepentance, idols. Rather than being in bondage to these things, we should enter His gates with thanksgiving and into His courts with praise.
