Fighter Verse Songs

Set 1 – Romans 11:33-36 – Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

We all know glory when we see it.  We know what it is like from the Super Bowl to the Space Shuttle.  For these human achievements, consider what glory looks like.   What it tastes like as an experience.   How it sounds from the quiet before, to the roar of the moment.  What does it feel like?  How great is the intelligence that goes into human designs?  How often and how deep and how much glory do people get for things like the Super Bowl or the Space Shuttle?

Now, imagine God.  What do His designs look like? How great is His intelligence?  What does it feel like to behold the highest mountain?  What does it taste like to bite into a fresh strawberry on a hot summer day?  How does it sound when you are before the thundering of Niagara falls?

How often and how deep and how much glory does God get from you?  To him be glory forever. Amen.

Practical suggestions this week:

– Meditate upon God’s ways.  His judgments.  His design.  His infinite attributes.  His personal love for you. Listen to this song as you do so.

– Make an effort to notice God’s glory around you and remark upon it to others.  You will gain joy and give God glory.

– Pray that God will help you see Him, His glory and enjoy Him more and more each day.

Set 1 – John 1:12-13 – But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

All people who believe in Jesus Christ will be children of God.  It is not by ancestry or race that one becomes a child of God.  It is not by any human action or will.   To become a child of God is to be born of God.  It is a free gift from God!

Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins and that his free gift is to be a child of God?

Practical suggestions this week:

– If you do NOT believe in Jesus, pray to God that he would give you the gift of believing in Jesus. (Why pray to believe?)

– If you DO believe in Jesus, give thanks to God for His great mercy to you.  Your sin is great.  His love is greater!

– Pray that God will help you share his love with others.

Set 1 – Deuteronomy 10:12-13 – And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, 13and to keep the commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am commanding you today for your good?

All of God’s commandments are for our good.  Wow!  All of them?  Really?  Aren’t some of them a burden with no good in them?  No!  Not according to the Bible.  Keeping His commandments is loving and serving Him.  If you love God, you will keep His commandments. (1 John 5:3)

Do you feel that God’s commandments are for your good?

Practical suggestions this week:

– As you read through God’s commandments, give thanks to Him for them.  Thank Him for fulfilling His promises in Christ Jesus.

– Consider the disciples of Jesus.  Examine how they obeyed the Lord’s commandments.  Consider the joy that drove them to do so.

– Pray that God will help you to love Him and serve Him.  Because you love Him, pray for help to obey His commandments with joy just as Jesus Christ suffered the cross for the joy that was set before Him.

Set 1 – Deuteronomy 7:9 Know therefore that the LORD your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations…

God makes promises.  He keeps every single one.  Do you believe it?  If so, keep His commandments and love Him.  He is the only one who is faithful in everthing.  People disappoint us.  Those closest to us who love us break promises.  Each of us falls short.  Thankfully, God keeps His promises.  Those who love Him can rest easy in knowing, and feeling, that God loves you.  This is a bedrock promise to take with you every day.

Do you know that God IS God?  Do you feel it in your heart? With all your strength?  Deep in your soul?

Practical suggestions this week:

– Meditate upon God’s promises until you feel love and joy in Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength.

– Consider the Lord’s faithfulness to you.

– Pray that God will help you to know He is faithful, especially when you do not feel it.  Share God’s faithfulness to you with another each day.

Track 30 in Songs Set E – Matthew 10:18-20 And you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Talk about perspective as to when you need not fret about something.  Can you imagine being dragged before President Obama to bear witness to Christ?  Would you be nervous?  Paul was dragged before Caesar.  Peter was crucified.  All this and Jesus tells us not to be anxious about what we will say.

If you are not to be anxious when before kings, how much more can you rest each day?

Practical suggestions this week:

– Meditate upon God’s promises to you.  Pray that the you will be at rest as you face your day.

– Consider that Jesus calls Christians to bear witness.  Are you ready to bear witness in front of governors and kings for Jesus’ sake?

– As you bear witness to Jesus, may the Spirit speak through you.  Pray to God that this will be so as you meditate upon this verse each day.

Track 30 in Songs Set E –Matthew 7:26-27 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it. (Last week’s verse is also part of this song. Matthew 7:24-25 Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.)

If you count Jesus as your Savior, and you are believing His promise and obey His commands, rest easy!    Those who obey His commandments show evidence of a changed heart, and gain assurance of salvation.  Consequently, your fall will not be great.

If you do not hear the words of Jesus and do them, your fall will be great.

Have you built your house on the rock so that you will not have a great fall?

Practical suggestions this week:

– Consider if you have built your life upon the rock or the sand.  If you have built your house on the rock, thank the Lord for His kindness to you.  Jesus paid it all.  The cost of your sin was borne by Him.  If you have not built your house on the rock and believe in Jesus, pray to God.  Pray that he would change your heart to hear His word,  obey His word and find life and joy in Jesus.

– Meditate upon the word of God in the Bible and pray through it.  Ask the Lord to grant you assurance of belief in Him and how you are obeying His commandments.

The pressures of life, the lies of the devil and the distractions of the world get to us each and every day.  If you believe the words of Jesus and do them, you will stand against every trial that comes your way.  I cannot stand unless I have meditated upon the word of God and prayed through it, holding the cross of Christ before me each and every day.

How often are you blown off the rock each day?

Practical suggestions this week:

– Meditate upon the word of God in the Bible and pray through it.  By doing both in the Spirit, you will guard against your mind wandering and your heart hardening.

– Consider what you hear in the word that you do not believe and live out?  You will drive out your hypocrisy and kill sin by doing this. (Romans 8:13)

– When you are moved off the rock of Jesus Christ, grab a promise from the word of God and pray until you are moved by God’s promises and return to walking in the Spirit.

Track 30 in Songs Set E – Matthew 7:22-23 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’  (Last week’s verse is also part of this song.  Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.)

Many will do things in the name of Jesus that look like fruit that a believer bears.  However, their hearts are not believing in Jesus, nor having been transformed and given new life.  Those who do not do the will of the Father will be cast away from God.

How do you know that your faith is genuine?

Practical suggestions this week:

– Meditate upon this verse and pray for God to reveal sin in your life and also where you are obeying God’s commandments.

– What do you believe about Jesus?  Do you believe the Bible?  Does your stated faith match up with how you live practically every day?

– Are you showing genuine affection and love for others?

These are the marks of genuine faith.  (1 John 2:1-11)
