I’m not sure why certain songs resonate with me, but this one did from the very first time I heard it! Maybe it’s the “in the waiting, the same God who’s working all things out” line. Or “You won’t fail me now” knowing that he’s with me through the highs and lows. He works things …
It's been said that God works in mysterious ways, and I certainly believe this. My devotional this morning took me back to a blog post I recently wrote about keeping your eyes on Jesus.
