"When it's dark and it's cold and I can't feel my soul You are still good. When the world has gone gray and the rain's here to stay You are still good. With every breath I take in I'll tell you I'm grateful again. And the storm may swell even then it is well You are good "
It reminds me of the Tree 63 Song.....
"Blessed be Your name when the sun’s shining down on me When the world’s “all as it should be” Blessed be Your name And blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering Though there’s pain in the offering Blessed be Your name ... You give and take away... My heart will choose to say - Lord blessed be Your Name.... Every Blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise... When the darkness closes in Lord still I am going to say...."
God's character does not EVER Change - NEVER. When all around is sinking sand its Christ the solid rock we stand.
A co-worker lost her husband tonight - this was not expected at all. He was I believe in his early 50's. He loved the Lord raised his family with God's leading and direction. Life just changed for her and her 2 daughters. The life they knew is now different. The norm is not the norm any more. Once they get past the shock of life without their Husband, Dad, Friend, they will begin to try and figure out how to live & move forward without him.
Once again - he immediately stepped into his eternity and although he is better off - life for those left behind stinks.
And once agian - I hold onto the truth - God does not change - His goodness and faithfulness is still the same. Even when it feels dark and cold or we can't see whats ahead - we focus on Who He is so we can remember Whose we are.
