Through it All

This time in quarantine has taught me several things, but there is one thing that stands out to me the most. I’m learning more and more to worry less and leave it all in God’s hands.

As a child, we instantly start our lives depending on some one else. Our parents. I don’t remember worrying about what my next meal would be. I don’t remember worrying about how I would get from point A to point B. I relied on my parents to do it all for me.

As adults, we all too often worry about everything. How we are gonna pay our bills. What we will feed our children. How we will pay to get the broken down car fixed. How we will do this or that by this time.

The Lord tells us in His word that He will supply our needs. So why then do we worry?

This evening as I sat down with my guitar, a song came to mind and it’s been on my heart all evening.

Through it All by Andraé Crouch

I’ve had many tears and sorrows,
I’ve had questions for tomorrow,
there’s been times I didn’t know right from wrong
But in every situation,
God gave me blessed consolation,
that my trials come to only make me strong.Through it all,
through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God. Through it all,
through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word. I’ve been to lots of places,
I’ve seen a lot of faces,
there’s been times I felt so all alone.
But in my lonely hours,
yes, those precious lonely hours,
Jesus lets me know that I was His own Through it all,
through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God. Through it all,
through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word. I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I’d never had a problem,
I wouldn’t know God could solve them,
I’d never know what faith in God could do

Read that third verse again.

I thank God for the mountains I thank God for the valleys, I thank Him for the storms He brought me through. For if I’d never had a problem I wouldn’t know God could solve them. I’d never know what faith in God could do

When you think about it, why do you believe God will pull you through the storms this world brings? What gives you the testimony? You had to have faith in Him to answer a prayer in order for Him to answer it and give you the testimony that you have about answered prayers, right?

Throughout this whole situation at hand, I have had such a peace. I’ve had no stress or worries. I know God has it all in His hand. He’s building my faith stronger and stronger every day.

Through it all I’m learning more to trust in Jesus and depend upon His word.

Thank Him for the mountains and valleys and storms. They are your testimony of what He’s brought you through. They are your testimony of what faith can do. Believe that. When you learn to fully really on God, nothing of this world should scare you. Hasn’t He brought you through it all?
