This past weekend I was watching the VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown with my wife and son when I encountered one of the most uplifting, hopeful and spirit-filled songs I have heard in a very long time. The band is called SafetySuit. I cannot speak to the religious convictions of the band members. I know it is is not "Christian" music. But if you are a Christ-follower, this song speaks to the condition of so many of those around you. People are hurting. Times are hard. And one of the most precious commodities the church has to offer is hope. If you are in student ministry and have not yet built a message around this song, then get busy. This video will inspire you, because whether intended or not, Jesus is all over it, just oozing from each frame. I hope it will move you as much as it did me. So here is the official music video for These Times...
"Throw up your hands and believe it. These times are hard. But they will pass..."
Because of Jesus,
Big C, I love this video. Beautiful post. One of my favorite sayings is that if you have hope, you have faith and if you have faith you have everything. So much the church can do in this arena - just hoping I can be part of it each day.

DeleteI see this is an older post, but so glad I stumbled across it today. When life beats me down like it has been this week, I need to remember that God will lift my head and carry me through. "Throw up my hands and believe" indeed! Thank you for speaking to my heart and offering hope. - Carrie Henderson
