A collection of musicians gave a stirring performance, singing a tune about the goodness of the Lord.
The world is not always the friendliest, most uplifting and most encouraging place. In fact, often, it’s the exact opposite. People and circumstances in life can leave us beaten, battered and bruised. However, no matter what may happen, there is One who can be counted on to provide shelter and protection during the storm. He can make a way when it seems none is possible.
In Grand Rapids, Michigan, Bethel Music, David Funk and Amanda Cook perform “King of My Heart.” The song’s opening verse expresses the musicians’ request for God’s guidance and protection during troubling periods.
“Let the King of my heart
Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh, He is my song”
Later in the song, the musicians repeatedly mention God’s goodness.
Also, they sing that God will never let them down. How do they know this? How can they be so sure that He will always be there, guiding and protecting? Throughout God’s Word, it points out that He will never leave or forsake us. He will remain by our side even during the storms and uncertainties.
He has always been faithful, never letting us down before, why would He start now? The short and easy answer, of course, is that He won’t. The God mentioned in the Bible is the same yesterday, today and will be the same tomorrow.
However, despite the promises laid out in the Bible, humans are not perfect, and doubts and questions do arise. About halfway through the 9-minute clip, the lead singer addresses the crowd and mentions this, telling them to lay those doubts at the feet of the Lord.
Matthew 21:21 “And Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Truly I say to you, if you have faith, without doubting, not only may you do what has been done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, Be taken up and put into the seas, it will be done.’”
