THIS Song for Such a Time as THIS
It's May 2020 and it sure does seem like the world has been turned upside down. But maybe God is seeing fit to turn it right-side up!
There seems to be no end to major tragedies worldwide from the global pandemic to job loss and loss of life. However, God is still in control and He is having His way with all of us for His purposes, His glory, and all for our good. And it really is for our good whether we believe it or not, because He is good. He is very good. And most of all He is very kind.
The best place to be in all this turmoil is to be grounded in God's Word, to be constantly prayerful, and to be busy doing the work He has called us each to do. That's what we are to do with our gifts and talents, to flourish in them, just like the loaves of bread and fish that supernaturally multiplied and fed thousands of hungry souls!
But we can't humble ourselves and be intentionally loving God wholeheartedly and loving people unconditionally if we don't believe God is in control. He has glorious purposes in what looks like worldwide chaos to us!
In the midst of all this, I know the word of God and the worship of God is key in getting in our right minds. It scatters the darkness and exposes the light and love of Christ. As I have been writing posts in Instagram and my blogs (yes, I have two blogs now) I have often asked our West Coast Daughter Grace, who lives in Los Angeles, if she would record a certain songs so I could post them with my writings. She is an anointed worship leader and a fully-trained classical singer with a M.A. in Worship Arts from Fuller Theological Seminary. I know she sings for the glory of God and that makes my heart sing.
So for such a time as this the classic "God is in Control" song by Twila Paris has been on my playlist and I asked Grace to record it for me so I could post it. Here is the link to the song (under 4 minutes). The lyrics are Scripture based so its truth is timeless and very encouraging. I pray you will worship along with these powerful words of life.
For the glory of God and the good of the world,

God Is in Control
This is no time for fear
This is a time for faith and determination
Don't lose the vision here
Carried away by the motion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together
This is a time for faith and determination
Don't lose the vision here
Carried away by the motion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together
God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control
History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh, but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh, but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever
He has never let you down
Why start to worry now? (2x)
He is still the Lord of all we see
And He is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me
Why start to worry now? (2x)
He is still the Lord of all we see
And He is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me
God is Sovereign:
Psalm 139
Romans 8:28
Acts 17: 24-28
Isaiah 54:17
For the glory of God and the good of the world,
