I Sing Because
This was not the day I had planned but God’s plans were apparently different. As Mom and I spent the afternoon at an auto repair shop, it was hard not to cry but, as He always does, God brought a song to mind. It was Squire Parson’s song, “I Sing Because.” What better time to praise the Lord than at a time when it was hard to see any good that could come out of the situation. God has promised that all things work together for good to those who love Him so I don’t doubt Him. I may not see it but I know it’s there.
As much as I wanted to be on the road to our next destination, I could see God’s hand at every turn, including providing a patient person to stay with us until we knew the vehicle couldn’t be fixed today, then he drove us around town until we found a rental car so we could get back on the road. I don’t know how God will use this for His glory but I know He will. Even if it was a ploy of the enemy to slow us down, God is greater and will redeem the situation. This is where faith steps in. I only see in part now but I know His plan is bigger than I can imagine.
I share this because I think sometimes it’s easy for people who read my posts to assume life is always easy for me. No, not always, but I serve a God who is very good to me and I want to praise Him as long as I have breath (or in this case fingers) to do so. Paul tells us, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of Christ Jesus.” May I ever be faithful to do so. Today I’m singing “just because.”
