 | | Manafest - Bring The Ruckus |
This song is called Bring the Ruckus by Manafest. Take a listen...
The chorus reads "You can try but you can't take me down. I'm standing on my ground. As all the fear inside me fades away. You can try to get a reaction, but you're no distraction to me. Bring the ruckus." To be a soldier is to be a fighter. Soldiers don't run AWAY from a fight or a scary situation, they run TOWARDS it.
As long as your faith lies within God, there is nothing in this world that will be able to shake you down. There is nothing to fear, because you know that God is in control. He made you a promise, and He isn't in the business of breaking them. Trust His words and know His truths.
Memorial Day - Soldiers
Joshua 1:8-9 (NIV)
8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.
When a soldier goes out to war, he goes prepared. He takes his MR-15 or whatever weapon was issued to him and he is coming out with one goal in mind....get the job done, no matter what the cost. All that the soldier knows is what the commanding officer has told him. The soldier doesn't ask question, but does what he is told. The commanding officer gives the soldier an order and knows that this order will be fulfilled.
It's the same way with God. We are given an order and we must follow that order with blind eyes and a heart full of faith. Our daily lives as Christians, is a war. Think of how the enemy wants to bring you down. Are you prepared for battle? When you walk out of your house every morning, do you find yourself prepared with your weapon? Do you carry with you the word of God and the strength that lies within it?
