Hello precious one of God, I hope you’ve had an awesome day in The Lord.
Today’s song is quite interesting because we’ll continue in the theme of yesterday. In our previous post, we outlined the fact that with God, nothing is impossible. We also clearly said that when we’re facing difficult situations, it’s easy to lose hope but that once we remember how God helped us previously our faith is renewed.
As Pastor Steven Furtick says it so beautifully:
”We can borrow the faith for our next battle from our previous victories in Christ”.
This is probably what inspired him, Matt Redman, Chris Brown and Mack Brock to write “Do it Again” one of my favourite Elevation Worship songs.
In my yongest years I thought that being a Christian meant that you would never have to face any struggles. However, with time, I realized that it’s not because you’re a Christian that you won’t face difficult seasons, or that there won’t be any storms in your life. In fact, Jesus said this:
John 16:33 NIV
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”
Jesus Himself said that we would have many trials and sorrows. There are a few people in The Bible who came to realize the hard way that being with Jesus all the time didn’t mean that they would never have storms in their lives.
Luke 8: 22-25 NLT
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?” The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When Hhe gives a command, even the wind and waves obey Him!”
- Why was Jesus so calm despite the storm?
- Why did Jesus ask them where was their faith?
- Why did Jesus calm the storm?
David said moreover, The Lord that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the Lord be with thee.
Exercise
- Remember one time where all hope seemed lost and God Helped you anyway
- Thank God for this
- Borrow faith from that previous victory in order to fight the battle in which you’re now
- Sleep tight tonight, knowing that Jesus is in your boat, thus it’s going to be ok (no sleepless night tonight)
It’s Now Your Turn
