As I sat in church Sunday morning I was deeply touched by the song "God is Able". I told myself "Oh my what a beautiful song...the beautiful lyrics has always touched me, and it's so true" I scanned the whole sanctuary and saw that everyone was in great spirits. Everyone had a smile on their face as the sang the song at the top of their lungs. Then I told myself "too bad that same smile won't last the whole week". The same might we sang it with will be tested during the week , and some of us might keep up the smile while others crumble under the pressure of what reality has hurled at them. Then I had a genius thought.....(mind you I don't have many of those on a weekly basis heck even monthly)
Often times under great pressure we forget GOD's promises to us. We forget the words GOD gave our preacher to preach to us...we even forget the songs that we sang that made us feel so good, and gave us goosebumps. So I have a great solution and if you came up with this before me :p...you didn't talk about it so it's a Juby Laila Original for every day of the week we should have a song that reminds us of God's goodness and promises. For example, you wake up Monday morning....before you can even open your eyes the enemy is fighting you in the rim of your mind. Before you know it every single seed that was planted in your starts to slowly wither, because we start seeing everything in the natural.....so for Monday remember
GOD IS ABLE:
God is able to do just what he said he would do.
He's going to fulfill every promise to you
Don't give up on GOD
Cause he won't give up on you
HE'S ABLE
Tuesday morning while driving to work you car starts smoking.You panic, but remember NO MATTER WHAT:
I’m running back to your promises one more time, Lord that’s all I can hold on to, I gotta say this has taken me by surprise, but nothing surprises you. Before a heartache can ever touch my life, it has to go through Your hands, and even though I, keep asking why, I keep asking why.
Wednesday morning you get news that someone you care about has been diagnosed with _____________. You immediately remember "By his stripes we are healed"
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You
I trust in You
I believe You're my Healer
I believe You are all I need
I believe You're my Portion
I believe You're more than enough for me
Jesus You're all I need
Thursday you feel down...you're not sure if GOD is really listening I mean nothing has changed. The preacher said change is on it's way, and my situation looks the same.
I waited for you today
But You didn't show
No.No.No.
I needed You today
So where did you go?
You told me to call
you said You'd be there
And though I haven't seen You
Are You still there?
I cried out with no reply and
I can't feel You by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone.
And though I can not see You
and I can't explain why.
Such a deep, deep reassurance
You've placed in my life oh
We cannot separate
'Cause You're part of me
and though You're invisible
I'll trust the unseen
Friday you know Sunday is just around the corner....so you sing "What a mighty GOD we serve"
Come Saturday as you prep yourself for GOD's house you have a recap of the week and you sing
We've come this far by faith
Pick up your pace and don't you be late
I'm hear to tell ya about the good news
Somethin' about the path that we choose y'all
Wisdom has built this house now
Integrity will bring your pride out
If you know how to pray the situation out
Prayer is the answer..There is no doubt
Monday we held it together and..
Wednesday we had stormy weather and..

Sunday we heard the news.
There you have it ladies it gentlemen...the survival guide to most of the enemies traps....of course prayer and staying in the word is key....
