Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.  James 1:17

This morning I was going over a song that I wrote some five or six years ago.  This particular song was written in the midst of my grasping for some sort of familiar foundation.  We were struggling to find a church home and it seemed like we were lost and wandering, unable to discern what was right.  It was a very difficult time of confusion and loss of connection.  We couldn’t seem to hear God’s voice; direction was a mystery.

I wish I could say that this was a unique time of feeling upside-down for me.  The truth is that I still struggle with that same type of feeling much of the time.  We belong to a great church, but those feelings of being lost and disconnected still present themselves.  I don’t know the reason my soul is so restless these days.  I know that God will take me where I need to go to know His rest, never once leaving my side.  He is not finished with me yet.  I will have victory in Jesus.  In the mean time I will remember my God and who He’ll always be; my Rock, my firm Foundation.

God is always good, always.  On my pilgrimage from earth to Heaven, through all the valleys and rough places, I encounter His goodness over and over again.  I remind myself that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
