In the midst of tragedy, loss, and defeat, it’s not uncommon to question the power, goodness, and wisdom of God. But Scripture affirms both good and evil are under the control of a sovereign God who holds us in his loving and almighty hands. J.I. Packer said it this way: “All things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to his purpose (Rom 8:28). Not just some things, note, but all things! Every single thing that happens to us expresses God’s love to us, and comes to us for the furthering of God’s purpose for us.” This song reminds us of those precious truths, and assures us that God has ordained everything in our past, present, and future for his endless glory and our eternal joy.
