Skyscraper

 

Many of you may be familiar with the song "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato...but what you may not know is that it can be related to your walk with Christ.

One evening as my friend and I were listening to the Boyce Avenue cover of "Skyscaper" we heard a few particular lines and began to really analyze of what they could also mean. Now I know what you may be thinking...this is what she and her friends do in their free time? And to answer your question, no we do not. However,they seemed to jump out at me if you will, and got me thinking.

In this modern world it is easy to break down, completely lose it, and fall to the ways in which society is portrayed. However, YOU have the ability to rise from those low valleys to high mountains. 

The chorus starts with the lines "You can take everything I have, You can break everything I am, Like I'm made of glass, Like I'm made of paper." This can easily be translated into the struggles that we encounter on a day to day basis. We are constantly thrown into temptation where it be through work, school, friends, family etc. I know first hand how difficult life can be and how challenging it is to trust someone completely...but God will take your worries and burdens and give you strength to push through any obstacle.

Philippians 4:13- I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

As the song continues to go on it plays my favorite part of the whole song. "Go on and try to tear me down I will be rising from the ground Like a skyscraper!" No matter what others, or even Satan, may whisper in your ear God is ALWAYS there, right beside you, to help you RISE from your struggles.

John 16:33- I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

Therefore, whatever the circumstance...whatever is thrown your way...you can rise from the ground, from the ashes, from the valley... because God has overcome this world and you can make it through any battle.
