17 March 2013 - ENCS

Pastor Larry continued the "Back to the Future" series
Which is focused on several resurrection stories
Although the death was emotional in the story today
Remember that God wants to set us free, Pastor did say
For us to be discouraged is what the enemy wants
As a result, we should not listen to his many taunts
 
In 1 Samuel 22:1, David went to the Adullam Cave
He ran from Saul, trusting that God would save
For God, David was extremely zealous
Unfortunately King Saul became jealous
David and his family, Saul wanted to destroy
Despite David's loyalty since he was a boy
When we go to a cave, it is a dark dead end
Remember to trust God, for He is our friend
For David, God had a lesson he wanted to teach
In God, complete hope and trust we can reach
God answered David's prayers yet again
This was evident to the four hundred men
 
Similarly, God wants to heal our heart
On this topic, Pastor did his views impart
The title was "How to Manage Dead End Situations"
For all of us, there are often many complications
David led those in distress, debt, or discontent
From that stronghold cave to which he went
 
"Dead End Distress" involves anxiety and pain
If we rely on God, He frees us from this bane
But this requires that we rely on Him completely
In the passage, that was quite plain to see
We might run to a cave as a means of escape
But God draws us in to get us back into shape
Taking this further, Pastor Larry did then suggest
That without being healed, we will not get blessed
 
In Second Corinthians 1:8-10, this can also be seen
Paul escaped the hardship because God did intervene
Hardships and trials, we will definitely all face
But we can survive them thanks to God's grace
In Psalm 18 verse 6, to the Lord David did cry out
In distress, he needed God's help without a doubt
 
And that is the end of today's poem, I do fear
I will finish it when the rest of the sermon I hear
