#222: "He Still Does" by Hawk Nelson

Released May 21, 2018 by More Than a Song - Michelle Nezat

 

We all want the miracle, but are we willing to do our part? Are we willing to seek Him? Are we willing to walk in God's ways? Hawk Nelson reminds us that God is in the miracle business through their song "He Still Does." King Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah experienced an amazing miracle one morning in the desert. The Lord was with King Jehoshaphat -- join me as we explore why. On this week's episode I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Read in context Refer to an outline Consult a map Write out Scripture Make a list Share with a friend How the big picture of Chronicles points to the central role of worship and the importance of the temple and ultimately to Jesus Making a list of the characteristics of Jehoshaphat - 2 Chronicles 17:3-6 Focusing in on why the "Lord was with" Jehoshaphat That the benefits and miracles of God are a result of our seeking and following Him The promise made to Jehoshaphat's father, Asa - 2 Chronicles 15:2 How the Lord isn't going to follow our agenda, but He will be with us when we are with Him An outline of Jehoshaphat's reign The miracle defeat in 2 Chronicles 20 The map I consulted as I studied this account - Bible-History.com The three verbs used to describe how Jehoshaphat responded to an impending attack Resolved Inquired Proclaimed How the answer from God came through a Levite - 2 Chronicles 20:15-17 How the worship team led the way toward God's miracle - 2 Chronicles 20:22-25   Additional Resources Lyrics Chords Story Behind the Song "He Still Does" by Hawk Nelson - YouTube Video This Week's Challenge Read 2 Chronicles 17-20 for yourself! Consider the story of King Jehoshaphat…the good, the bad, and the ugly. Ponder the characteristics of God and His ability (and desire) to perform miracles in the lives of those who seek Him. Resolve to inquire of the Lord. Involve others in the process — we were never meant to walk all of this alone. Set your heart to delight in the ways of the Lord. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. The Lord will be with you.
