The Lord Will Fight for You: Encouragement from the Word and an Inspirational College Student
Inspiration from the Halls of College…
We’ve featured Shirley’s inspiring videos (find her at FarAwayDistance on Youtube) before on SOAR. Since then she’s started college and has been learning to grow closer to God throughout the struggles and journey. In this video she shares how no matter what you’re going through God will stand and fight for you – you just have to trust Him with your battles.
Some of the verses Shirley shares in this video:
This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.” from 2 Chronicles 20
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? from Romans 8
This God—His way is perfect; the word of the LORD proves true; He is a shield for all those who take refuge in Him. from Psalm 18
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. from Exodus 14
From Shirley: Sorry it’s been so long! College is crazy! But you are BEAUTIFUL and I just want you to know that no matter what you’re going through, you’re not alone. God is with you no matter what you’re facing. Keep holding on. God is GREATER than whatever you are facing.

SOAR Christmas Playlist Part 1: Born Tonight and Christmas Together from Jamie Grace
The SOAR Christmas Playlist will feature awesome songs to inspire you this Christmas Season from some of our favorite artists. Check back for more on our Christmas Playlist…
Born Tonight from Jamie Grace
“Born Tonight” is from the new EP “Family Christmas: Songs by Jamie Grace & Morgan Harper Nichols” which you can get here on iTunes. The album features two Christmas songs by Jamie Grace, two songs by Morgan and a song by Harper Still, the collective name for the two sisters who regularly write and perform together. I love the refreshing sounds that make for very unique and moving Christmas music.
Here’s another fun and heart-warming video from Jamie Grace’s Christmas EP, Christmas Together – it’ll get you smiling and in the Christmas spirit! I love how she got her family and friends together on her birthday to shoot the video, and the lyrics and feel of the song are cleverly melded and entertaining. You can get her Christmas EP on iTunes by clicking here!

Music Spotlight & Inspiration: Fix My Eyes & Without You from For King and Country and the Story Behind the Songs
For King and Country “Fix My Eyes” Live in Studio at KLOVE
“The things of Earth are dimming in the light of Your glory and grace – I’ll set my sights upon Heaven I’m fixing my eyes on You…”
For King and Country‘s song “Fix My Eyes” from their latest album “Run Wild. Live Free. Love Strong.” is definitely an energetic anthem of faith – and it’s so darn infectious! Watch the brothers sing live above and tell the story behind the song below as they remind us to set our eyes on what is eternal and unseen instead of the temporary, as the word reminds us…
For King and Country “Fix My Eyes” Story Behind the Song
Another song from their sophomore album with a solemn, honest and heart-moving message is “Without You” which shares the story of Luke’s bout with a draining illness and the journey he and his wife Courtney (who is featured in the song) had learning to trust God whatever the outcome of the sickness would be. Watch both the official music video and the story behind the song below:

“Fix My Eyes” Lyrics
Hit rewind
Click delete
Stand face to face with the younger me
All of the mistakes
All of the heartbreak
Here’s what I’d do differently
I’d love like I’m not scared
Give when it’s not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on you
