tomorrow, at church, i'm singing this song:
i love the message, and i love how it's the perfect song for me to be singing right now, in this season of my life. out of the six potential songs that i shared with our worship pastor, this is the one that he chose for me to sing tomorrow. couldn't be more perfect. it's not a coincidence either, that's for sure...
anyway, my favorite part about the song? in the chorus, it reads like this:
Hallelujah, hallelujah
whatever's in front of me
help me to sing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallellujah
whatever's in front of me
i'll choose to sing hallelujah
this is so true for me. how about you? there are times when "disaster" strikes and i need Him to remind me- "sing Hallelujah, this is for your good and for my glory. it is best and it is not a surprise to me. this is part of the plan. choose to see what I have for you." there are other times when i choose to sing hallelujah. not out of emotion, not out of desperation, [and certainly not because i'm so wonderful] but simply because, by His grace alone, i have remembered that all things have been ordained before the foundations of the earth. my God cannot be moved, He cannot be shaken. He is. and He is not surprised. He will bring all things together for the good of those who love Him and who have been called according to His purpose [Romans 8:28]. and even more, He will be glorified in my suffering, of that i can be sure. He won't allow anything to happen that's for no good reason. He has proven that He is worthy of my trust, worthy of my full dependence on His authority and His sovereignty. He's worthy of my resting in Him. because i know these things [i haven't always known these things, He's been patient and persistent in teaching them to me], i can sing hallelujah, whatever's in front me. and when i forget [because i know i will], my sincerest hope is that He would help me to remember.
