Romans 4 - I Believe || Bible in Song || ❤️ NO AI! || by Project of Love #145

A little heads-up beforehand: I made this song, Romans 4, so it can be sung as a personal declaration and proclamation.

So instead of "Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life," I sing "I believe in the God, etc."

Why?
Well, verse 16 tells us this:
"So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are ALL certain to receive it (..) if we have FAITH LIKE Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of ALL who believe."

That means you and me. So sing this song like you mean it, and it will build your faith!

Now, this is probably going to sound silly to some of you, but I wrote this song after somebody died—a family member. She was the black sheep of the family. Quite literally, actually.

I'm talking about one of our sheep, Blackie. But we considered her part of the family, like all our animals.

She died a horrible death; she was attacked by a vicious dog and succumbed to her wounds, unfortunately. The whole thing was a tragic accident, but still, it impacted us deeply.

The timing was suspicious as well. It was a time when we felt like we were under attack. Project of Love was targeted by many trolls and 'haters', my family was attacked (this was right around the time I wrote Psalm 16; readers of my Psalm 16 devotional know what I'm talking about), and the animals in our animal shelter were under attack.

So, Blackie, our sheep, killed by a mad dog, felt pretty prophetic. (Acts 20: 28/29)

Then I read Romans 4. "The God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing", surely He could bring back Blackie.

Two years before that, I had seen God do a miracle. I prayed for a chicken that had died, and she came back. The same with a cat I prayed for.

After all, God created this earth and its creation out of nothing. He created an army with a couple of bones; surely a sheep would not prove to be a problem. I had faith.

We, Janis and I, prayed for three days, but unfortunately, no miracle occurred.

Sure, I felt defeated. But I chose, and still choose, to believe this scripture in spite of my experience. It's not always easy, though. You can hear all these emotions in my voice and in this song.

But if I let my own personal experience dictate my faith, then I basically place my reality, my experience, above what God says, what the Word says. I refuse to do that.

I'm on a journey. And I still have a lot to learn. That means I don't know everything. And that's alright. 'Cause I choose to believe. "Even if there is no reason for hope, I keep hoping." (Rom 4:18 NLT).
Just like Abraham: I believe.

Romans 4 - I Believe

17. [I believe] in the God who brings the dead back to life
and who creates new things out of nothing.

18. Even [if] there [is] no reason for hope,
[I keep] hoping

20. In fact, [my] faith [grows] stronger,
and in this [I bring] glory to God.

21. [I am] fully convinced
that God is able to do whatever He promises.
