Blessings (by Laura Story)

I love this song "Blessings" by Laura Story. The words are amazingly applicable to all of us mere human beings and the struggles we have with trusting in God's sovereignty and the contentment we can possess if we simply trust.  Having ceaseless faith in His will is something I've struggled with since I first came to realize years ago that His will is not always my own. I know, in my head, that His will is infallible and perfect and mine is...well...not. It's just when His will is accompanied by pain or loneliness that I, from time to time, begin to "wonder". But, the truth is, if we look hard enough, we can ALWAYS see evidence of Him in our past. And often times in the most obvious of ways. And He's the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. If He was with me in the past, I know He's with me in the present. Even when I can't necessarily see or hear Him, I know from experience that some day, in the not too distant future, I'll be able to look back and say, "Ah. There You were. I can see clearly now how You worked during that time. And I can see them...Your blessings." 

"Once again I'll go over what God has done,
      lay out on the table the ancient wonders;
   I'll ponder all the things you've accomplished,
      and give a long, loving look at your acts."
