In the third week of the “Anthems” series, Pastor Nate speaks about the song ‘Old Town Road’ and the stance of the artist, Little Nas X, when he was faced with adversity. Instead of becoming upset when the Country Music Charts removed his song, Little Nas X continued to pursue his dream. He reached out to a famous country artist to help him get back onto the charts. In the bible, Joseph received great opposition about the dream God placed in his heart when he decided to follow God. In Psalm 109, David wrote a song about his experience throughout life, meeting opposition to his dreams. Instead of “getting even”, David asks God to take care of those who caused him adversity. Similarly, Little Nas X let the Country Charts lose their own popularity when the fans became outraged about the injustice served him. It’s not for us to stop pursuing our dreams because of adversity, so long as we trust in God, He’ll make a way for us to achieve our dream, so long as it brings others to Him.
