 Today I’m going to talk about Kanye West. He just released a new album called Jesus is King. I want to focus on the lyrics from one song today, God is. In his song God is, he says, “I know I won’t forget all He’s (talking about God) done, He’s the strength in this race that I run, Every time I look up, I see God’s faithfulness, And it shows just how much He is miraculous.” So Kanye West isn’t normally someone that people look up to for knowing right from wrong and to find truth from. However in his most recent album he really speaks a lot of truth. He says he won’t forget what God has done for him. And similarly, we should remember that God is always providing for us and always has our best interest in mind, even if it doesn’t seem like it. Next he says that God is his strength in the race that he runs. So he’s talking about the race of life and is saying that God gives him strength and perseverance to help him keep going. So we should all lean on God in good and bad times to give us the energy and perseverance we need to maintain our busy college lives. And then lastly he says that God is faithful and miraculous. So similarly to before, God is always providing for us and looking over our lives, and he is faithful in so many ways. And it may seem as though miracles don’t happen in our daily lives so it seems weird to call God miraculous, but one example of God’s miracles is Kanye’s conversion. He went from glorifying things not of God to praising his name and declaring his faithfulness. So as the semester winds to a close, I encourage you all to lean on God in this exhausting time in our lives, whether looks like just sitting and reflecting on his works, going to a worship service, or just praying and telling God that you’re struggling and you’re exhausted. In the words of Kanye, God is faithful, miraculous, and good.
