Tiffanesha Williams recommended this gem. I met her when I taught at Mizzou. She was a graduate student and a leader. She always had a quiet strength about her. This song explains why she always had a calmness about her. We were both on a committee and would sit in meetings that could get long and contentious. I never saw Tiffanesha ruffled. She would just smile and respond with wisdom and confidence. Not surprised this is her song.
This song reminds us that no matter what we are going through we should give God praise. God provides, rescues, lifts us up. We should be thankful for the consistency of God’s hand in our lives. Whatever trials that come my way, and they do when I least expect them, they are surmountable. These trials a real — the loss of loved ones, problems at work, children or spouses going through difficulties, illness, broken friendships, financial woes – all these mountains will be defeated. That’s what our faith is for. Even a tiny measure of faith in that notion of victory is enough to incrementally pull us through. For this we give God praise.
Matt 17:20 – If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say to this mountain ‘move from here’ and it shall move and nothing shall be impossible for you.
