This is another song that Alva sent me. I love the long-term vision of this song by William Murphy. Everything is working for my good, no matter what is going on. When we come to a speed bump in the road, our inclination is to turn back, but this song reminds us that these obstacles are fine because God is leaning in our direction. I also love the assertion that this is my season for grace and favor. And my “season” is every day of my life.
I love the idea of having access to God’s grace and favor. We can’t depend on people’s grace and favor. Nope. We have no control over them. But we are assured that God has an endless measure of grace (forgiveness, love) and favor (advantages, light) for us. As I head out the door, I walk in my season of favor and grace. If that article is not accepted by the journal, it’s ok. I’ll get an opportunity to make it even better and it will be accepted elsewhere. Like Job when he was going through his trials, even as my doubts overwhelm me, I have to remember God’s goodness and favor. Everything is working together for my good.
Job 10:12 You have granted me life and favor.
