Listen only to the good stuffs...

Yo yo yo!! VaZe here... I bring you good news of great joy in the end times...

Yeah man... Today i gonna share with ya all a song that inspires me again... Its from the Christian rock band Petra, entitled "No Doubt"

Petra - No Doubt

There are times when you feel like you can't go on
There are times when you feel like giving in
And there are times when you feel like you can't try anymore
There are times of trouble in believing

This test of your faith will last
As long as it takes to pass
Till you have no more doubt you'll endure
And your faith will emerge true and pure

(Chorus)
No doubt it'll be alright
With God it'll work together for good
No doubt in the end it will be understood
No doubt it'll all work out
With faith He can move any mountain for us
No doubt in the power of Jesus
And after all is done we find out
All we really need to have is no doubt

There's a time to take a reckless leap of faith
There's a time to be cautious and to wait
And there's a way of learning from the past
That this time of trouble won't last

And sometimes we want to think we know
The ways He will choose to make us grow
But it's never the way of our choosing
And we can't always see what He's using

(Bridge)
There will be winters in the seasons of our soul
With a cold and bitter wind that chills our lives
But our faith can be building a fire
That will warm us till springtime arrives

Can you relate to this song? No doubt all of us can relate to this song... There are certainly times of our lives when we lose hope, in people, in church, in our friends, family and work... And so tight we are that we can hardly breathe, hanging on the line, no strength to push a centimetre more... Your brothers and sisters advice and encourage ya to pray... But it seems that you just can't find God... You may even lose hope and faith in God and yourself...

But read the 2nd stanza of the song... These dry seasons of your life is to test your faith, and it will certainly take some time to pass... These dry seasons taps and tests the substance deep down in your hearts, whether is God the central focus of your heart... If God is the central focus of our hearts, then we will be able to endure!! And our faith wlll emerge true and pure...

Chorus tells us through these times of trials and hardships, we will not understand why all these are happening... But the author says that God will certainly make a way out for us and bring us through... And at the end of the trial and sufferings, we will know why all these are happening...

The author also tells us that times of trouble won't last... Isn't it so encouraging to know that no matter how dark the skies are, it will have to go eventually... Ultimately... It all boils down to whether we can last thru the storms or not... Remember that the author says that we need to endure...

Many times we pray to God to ask Him to show us how my life be like, what to expect when He moulds us to grow... But the author says that this is not up to us to choose... And we cannot see what God is using to teach us and craft us... God uses the circumstances and the people around us to teach us, many times unexpected and unprepared for.. For His ways are higher than our ways...

Going on to the bridge of the song... Life batters us with coldness and chills... Many times we feel cold, no one to lean on, no one to depend on... But when all else fails, ultimately the one God doesn't fail us... And thus the author says that our faith will keep us warm, keep us accompanied and sheltered till the times of trials are over...

My brothers and sisters... Our last cell group meeting made me realized that many people in our cell are facing problems of finding Hope, Comfort, Encouragement... May this song speaks to you and make u realize that when all else out there fails, when all else out there are uncertain and you do not know why bad things jus happen and keep coming, there is a God that never fails, His faithfulness carry you thru...

So yeah... wanna encourage ya to listen to the song.. Its really inspiring and I feel that the lyrics of the song speaks volume and fortitude of the author in his walk with Jesus... Its certainly a song that makes us go the distance...
