Pastor Josh started the "Back To The Future" series today
How to apply biblical stories now, the pastors will convey
He read the passage from Luke 7, eleven to seventeen
In which Jesus fulfilled Isaiah sixty one, it is clearly seen
The story took place in a town called Nain
The widow's only son was able to live again
Pastor said she was in a desperate situation
"What to do?" and "where is God?, consternation!
In Exodus 20:18-19, the people were very afraid
To get Moses to intercede, they did then persuade
He said not to fear in verse number twenty
For them, there would be blessings aplenty
God is present, even in the darkest time and place
Only He can help with some challenges we face
And if He is with us, we can have real peace
From the enemy's grasp, He will us release
It is said that we can know God in the light
But only truly know Him in the dark of night
This came from Isaiah fifty verse ten
Trust and rely in God, again and again
Whether our challenges are external or in our heart
Trust God completely, for He will surely do His part
For no matter how much pain we may feel
Know that our God always wants to heal
And if walking by faith is what we do learn
Pastor said that fear will never be a concern
We will be tormented if we try to follow our own light
We cannot solve all problems each day or night
About this, Pastor gave Isaiah 50 : 11 a nod
For we can never figure out God for God
Returning to Luke 7:13 where God's compassion is shown
Although "do not weep" seems to be in a harsh tone
In fact, these words precede the miracle about to occur
Jesus knew what was happening, that is for sure
Pastor then referred to Ezekiel 37 verses one to eight
With prayer, life came to the bones despite their state
And in the passage, one thing we can all see
Ezekiel's obedience to God was clearly the key
In summary, Pastor read from Luke 7 once more
In verse 16, God's glory was then hard to ignore
Remember that the testimony comes after the test
In the end, God will be glorified for He is the best
