Hive Open Mic 🎤 week 193 ~ Rescue || A cover song by Princessbusayo.

It's another beautiful weekend and also just 2 days to Christmas. Who is excited already? I am feeling this joy in me knowing that we would be welcoming a new year in a few days and I can't wait to embrace it with me starting a new life in a new state while serving my country.

This week 193 with the theme "Yeshua", I did a cover song titled "Rescue" by Lauren Daigle. Lauren has been one of my favourite artists who knows how to deliver inspirational and hopeful songs making me always remember how I have been favoured by God. Her songs are always on point and thrilling too. Just some days ago, I listened to @merit.ahama sing the cover of one of her songs "Look Up Child" and that was the first song I listened to which made me click on the follow button to keep me updated with her songs.

I had a long trip yesterday to meet with my family for the festive season and I was so overjoyed seeing them in good health as we had a warm embrace and were happy to see each other again. Though we last saw in August/September during Mama's burial ceremony, it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time. It was a nice trip even though I became stressed — a 7 hrs trip on the bus and I just couldn't do anything other than be served hot jollof rice and cold water, then I slept off.

So, why am I saying this? According to the theme for the week, Yeshua is a Greek word which was coined from the name of a boy; Yehoshua which means to save, deliver, rescue etc. Yeshua is also a worship song in which in a way the author appreciates God for delivering and saving him. For the song I chose, Lauren is in a way trusting God to deliver her, and in her song, there is a promise by God to send an army to find His children who are in danger and need help from Him. We are being reminded of God's promise to rescue us as long as we call on His name because He has assured us that He will deliver us from the day of trouble.

This was how Jesus, the son of God rescued His disciples while He was sleeping in the boat and this wind came trying to sink their boat, they were so frightened that one of them had to tap Jesus and say, "Master, do you care that we perish?" One thing I hold onto in that story was that they had to acknowledge their master and call His attention to what was happening to them and He was able to save them by commanding the wind to stop and peace was restored to them. It wasn't like Jesus didn't know what was going on, He knew but just decided to test their faith. The disciples were so surprised that they uttered "What manner of man is this that even the wind obey Him?"

God is always waiting for us to call on Him and it doesn't mean He isn't aware of what we are going through; He only wants us to acknowledge Him to be our deliverer and anytime we call, He is always around to answer us. God is able to rescue us when we call on His name and there is no problem He wouldn't solve and mountains He wouldn't bring down for our sake. I hope this song blesses you and keeps you assured that He can save you with His outstretched arms.

Thanks for your time on my blog.
