Just as our lives often come together in God's time - not ours - my song choice has developed some interesting meaning in recent days. What a difference it made to wait, rather than hurrying to get my comments out at the same time as the song. This YouTube video of Phil's Story Behind The Song would have been absolutely overlooked. And here's the timing part - the story behind the song couldn't be MORE appropriate for my life right now. Like "John" I've been so worried about bills and money and the financial future that I took my eye off the most important things in my life. I was not completely broken down, but close to it, and this song has helped me re-focus. What started as a comfort became a call to action.
I know that I needed these events to unfold exactly as they have - in God's time. I received both comfort and a great message - "If we are faithful in the things we know we are supposed to be : to our partners and spouses; to our children and especially to our God; then He will be faithful to us..." Safe, calmed, comforted, up-lifted, healed - couldn't we all use a healthy dose of that?
