Romans 8:28

O, I'm looking around and I'm wondering, have I done something wrong?
Did I fall down and not see it?
Send your mercy, Lord, I need it.
Seems like things are not turning out
A downward spiral leading to who knows where.

CHORUS
I don't know Your ways, they are higher up than mine
You are doing something, though I may not see it at this time
When I cannot see your grace, I know that You're still there,
You are my good Father and You care

Seems like my hopes for other things are put up on a shelf for a little while
I feel like life's on stall
But You are sovereign LORD and You promised in Your word
That for my good You're working in it all

CHORUS

Tag- repeat as desired
All things You work together for my good.
I believe, I believe!
All things You work together for my good.
I will trust You.  I will trust You!
All things You work together for my good,
and I will rejoice in You!

Rom 8:28
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

Is 55:9
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Ps 31:7
I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have known the distress of my soul,

1 Peter 5:7
casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.



I was feeling a bit discouraged this morning because I had to lower the wage I would accept (and I still don't have a job) and it seems like lately, as far as careers go, I may be going towards things that do not use my skills so much.  This kind of gums up how I had imagined things going.  Part of me was afraid that I had done something wrong and so things were going poorly.  I do not think so.  However, no matter what I know that God works in all things and all situations for my good, that I may be like Christ and know Him more, so I can rejoice in Him.  Hopefully this can be encouraging to anyone who has ever felt or currently feels likewise!

Sovereign is not an oft used word, the way I am using it describes how God is powerful over all and has a huge and grand master plan which is being completed, though we do all have free will and bad things happen.  How exactly that works, I am not sure, but it is sweet, and the way I used it in the song was to express that God has control.

Blessings to you, and may you be encouraged in His love!
