Greetings, Precious Family:
May the Peace of the Lord be with you.
Family, as we continue through this final week of Black History Month, I want to share a song that is deeply meaningful to me. Earlier today, I called my mother to ask her the name of the song I used to request that she and my father perform for me in Daddy’s den. Even in the early stages of dementia, she responded without hesitation: “It was called God Specializes.”
As she softly spoke the opening line of the song, I felt tears begin to well in my eyes. One of the last times my father was well enough to play the keyboard for me, he and my mother sang this very song together. That moment remains etched in my heart.
Today, I invite us to let the message of this song serve as our devotional —reminding us that God specializes in what seems impossible and meets us with grace, strength, and faithfulness in every season.
Scripture Passage of the Day
Ephesians 3:20-21
New International Version
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Song Lyrics
God Specializes” – Lizz Wright
Have you any rivers
That seem uncrossable?
And have you any mountains
That you cannot tunnel through?
God specializes
In things thought impossible
And He will do what no other
No other power but holy power can do
(God specializes)
God specializes
(God specializes)
When your body
(God specializes)
Is full of disease
(God specializes)
And your medicines
(God specializes)
It don’t give you no ease
(God specializes)
God specializes
(God specializes)
Yeah, God specializes
