Lately, many songs from the younger moments of my childhood have been constantly perusing my mind. And I don’t mind –unless it’s something like “pigs in a blanket, cows on the floor, eat one bite and you run for the door”, or “skin, skin, skin, I’m so glad that I’ve got skin [repeat many times]“. Those get a little irritating both to Ellen and me. But seriously, the following lyrics in particular have been especially present, in good way. They’ve played through my mind during those little difficulties of a normal (what’s that?) day; I’m reminded to Rejoice in Him. And at different times, when those colossal moments of the week seem to hover over my head, blocking all rays of light, I am reminded, God never moves without purpose or plan.

God never moves without purpose or plan
When trying His servant and molding a man.
Give thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long;
In darkness He giveth a song.

O Rejoice in the LORD
He makes no mistake,
He knoweth the end of each path that I take,
For when I am tried
And purified,
I shall come forth as gold.

I could not see through the shadows ahead;
So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead.
I bowed to the will of the Master that day;

Then peace came and tears fled away. Now I can see testing comes from above;
God strengthens His children and purges in love.
My Father knows best, and I trust in His care;
Through purging more fruit I will bear. –Ron Hamilton

Hey, it’s kind of fun to blog–as long as you’re quoting someone else for most of the content. :D Next time, maybe I can find the lyrics to the pig song…
