Worship Song Sunday Inspired by Habakkuk 3

Posted on December 7, 2025 by Mark Shields

All week, my heart has leaned into the study of Habakkuk 3: to build something that lasts—not just for today, but for every tomorrow. I’ve sought truth that stirs me now, igniting a deeper desire to walk in God’s Way. And I’ve listened for something I can carry forward, a sound that keeps me stepping ahead in faith. Out of this pursuit, a worship song has emerged—born from scripture, shaped by reflection, and filled with the hope that what has been built will continue to sing life into every season.

Statements of Faith Friday 12-05-2025

Posted on December 5, 2025 by Mark Shields

As we set sail into the future God has prepared for us, our statements of faith serve as anchors, ⚓ keeping us grounded and aligned to His Way. Set in the powerful truths of Habakkuk 3, these declarations are more than words—they are spiritual affirmations that strengthen our resolve and renew our hope. Whether spoken aloud, written in a journal, or quietly meditated upon, they carry the potential to give us a lift and empower us like wind in our sails. Let them be a source of encouragement this weekend as the Spirit guides throughout the week ahead, reminding us that God’s Way is steadfast, victorious, and full of promise.

🌾 Vision and Faith

I begin today with a seed of faith, trusting God to bring the harvest in His time.
My small acts of obedience are part of God’s greater plan—He multiplies what I surrender.
I praise You, Lord, for Your power to make possible what seems impossible.
I walk in vision, not just sight—You are the God of unfolding miracles.
My faith unlocks Divine potential, releasing heaven’s provision into earthly places.
I am confident in Your character, Lord—You are faithful, capable, and kind.
I offer songs of praise for Your capacity to do exceedingly more than I imagine.
You, O Lord, multiply my efforts when I move in trust and obedience.
What I start small today, You will grow into something mighty tomorrow.
I believe in Your ability to shift outcomes, rewrite stories, and redeem what was lost.
I keep on believing, even when the evidence says otherwise—You are the God of the possible.
My vision is anchored in Your promises, and my reflection leads me to praise.
I am part of Your big picture, and You are painting beauty with every step I take.
I praise You, Lord, not just for what You’ve done—but for what You’re about to do.
I trust that You are working behind the scenes, multiplying what I place in Your hands.

Thoughts for Thursday 12-04-2025

Posted on December 4, 2025 by Mark Shields

Our thoughts are powerful catalysts, sparking the momentum that propels us forward on the path God has designed. They shape our perspective, energize, direct our steps, and ignite our passion like fuel to a flame as we carry out God’s plan for us. Below is a thought from Habakkuk 3.

In the spirit of Habakkuk’s prayer, we lift our hearts in reflection and vision—praising the Lord for the unshakable assurance of His character. He is faithful, mighty, and merciful, making possible what seems impossible. We offer songs of gratitude for His power to transform the smallest seed into a bountiful harvest. Today, we begin with humble steps, trusting that our small acts of obedience will be woven into His grand design. We believe He will multiply our efforts and let our faith-filled beginnings become a part of His big picture.

Faith That Moves Mountains

Posted on December 3, 2025 by Mark Shields

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from there, ‘and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” – Matthew 17:20

In Habakkuk 3 and written about in “Faith in the Face of the Impossible”, the thought is that God’s power defies earthly limits—He can make things happen that shouldn’t, and often does. When the landscape looks barren and logic says “not possible,” faith becomes the gateway to breakthroughs. Let that faith be your fuel—unlocking hidden potential and empowering you beyond your own strength. Even the smallest beginnings carry extraordinary weight in God’s hands. Start where you are, with what you have, and trust that He will multiply your effort. Big things often grow from quiet seeds of prayer watered by persistent belief that God is big enough to make it happen.

The song Multiplied by Needtobreathe offers a breathtaking expression of divine wonder, painting God’s love as radiant diamonds—priceless, unshakable, and brilliantly pure. Each lyric feels like a reverent whisper into eternity, where mercy doesn’t just forgive but astonishes us into awe. The invitation to surrender to His design reflects a deep trust, letting go of our plans to be shaped by His perfect will. And when our hallelujahs multiply, it’s more than praise—it’s a ripple effect of gratitude and faith echoing through hearts. It’s the kind of anthem that takes God’s word and spreads it like wildfire.
