On the day of trouble of and fear     He has made my feet strong and steady My feet, like the feet of a deer; He allows me to walk on high places And I walk with confidence and I stand secure I will rejoice in You The Eternal One I will rejoice in You  Chorus: Oh Eternal One Only begotten Son Who sets my feet to run Your saving work is done Oh Eternal One Â

Habakkuk 3:1-15 In Wrath, Remember Mercy Rebekah Cageggi sings "Maranatha!"
Another rough passage of scripture that describes God's wrath as he judges His people for their actions. Chad digs into this and the similarities to the language from Exodus. Chad encourages to meditate on verse 2: "in wrath, remember mercy". And God has remembered, sending His beloved Son to earth to live and die in our place, rise again and break the cold chains of bondage that bind us all. Rebekah Caggegi sings "Maranatha!" and we look forward to the great day of the Lord when He, the great Judge makes everything forever right. Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Coming Home for Christmas: 1517 Advent Devotional Face to Face: A Novel of the Reformation by Amy Mantravadi Untamed Prayers: 365 Daily Devotions on Christ in the Book of Psalms by Chad Bird Remembering Your Baptism: A 40-Day Devotional by Kathryn Morales Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug More from the hosts: Chad Bird Lyrics for Maranatha! Verse: The mountains saw you and trembled A torrent of waters swept by The voice I heard from the deepest ocean Lifted its praises on high  And over the ancient pathways Eternal hills were sinking low The tallest mountains were all shattered When arrows flashed from your bow  Chorus Maranatha! Maranatha! You will return With rays flashing from your hand Sending terror across the land Maranatha! Maranatha! You will return And in Your wrath remember Mercy, the breath of life Mercy upon the earth  Let there be mercy Let there be mercy  Verse 3: The sun and moon stood in their place  at the flash of your glittering spear. You marched through the earth with a fury You shook the nations with fear  Was your anger against the rivers, Indignation against the seas, Still Your ways are everlasting And I fear for Your decrees  Your ways are perfect But I am not Without Your mercy I am lost  Chorus Maranatha! Maranatha! You will return With rays flashing from your hand Sending terror across the land Maranatha! Maranatha! You will return And in Your wrath remember Mercy, the breath of life Mercy upon the earth

Lamentations 5:1-22 Colin Heinrich sings "Please Restore Us"
For Jeremiah and the people he cares about, this is not a happy ending. Chad takes us by the hand through the devestation and somehow we emerge knowing that God will always hold on to us.

This is a tough passage. Defeat, humiliation, devestation, and the false prophets led the sheep to the slaughter. Chad meditates on this heavy lament from the prophet Jeremiah and reminds us that our only hope is in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Marvelle Figueroa sings the haunting song "Sandcastle".

Ever watching Our own sandcastle Disintegrating with wave after wave  I cannot trust in the hands of man When man believes in man Just like wishes in the sand They will all wash away And who could believe That those in whom we trusted Would practice to deceive And lead their sheep astray  Ever watching, ever waiting for a nation which we could not save. Ever watching Our own sandcastle Disintegrating with wave after wave  Chorus: Light of a better hope You arose, Jesus Christ Light to a darkened world You gave me faith, You gave me sight Light of a better hope Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ  Ever watching, ever praying for a nation Disintegrating Ever watching, ever praying For our own sandcastle Disintegrating

Lamentations 4:1-11 Chris Lizotte sings "Fear Not"
Well this is a tough one... not really the most encouraging passage of scripture to meditate on, but there is so much wealth in these verses. We are encouraged to remember that wealth and status and pleasure can pass in an instant and each of us could wake up broke, sick, hurt, humbled and changed by circumstance. In this passage Jeremiah laments over the misery he sees. Chad leads us through this passage and points us to the sure hope of Christ, our Savior, who holds onto us and will never abandon us. Our friend Chris Lizotte sings "Fear Not".

Now the holy stones lie scattered what we held sacred, is now profaned   Chorus "Fear not, fear not, do not fear Peace be with you" In this world of tribulation Christ has overcome the world "Fear not, fear not, do not fear Peace be with you" In this world of tribulation Christ has overcome the world Fear not    Now Your wrath Has kindled a fire That consumed our foundations, they're gone There's no drink, to quench for our thirst now Just the tune, of an old drunkards song  And the jackals Still feed their young But You've taken All  we've become We fall in the street, tripping on our feet We are all overrun
