Do you ever come to a time in your life when you just don’t know what to do? You’ve tried everything and looked at all the angles and still can’t see what God is doing and why things are going the way they are.
What should our response be then?
Honestly, it should be what in good times we bow the knee to worship God with heart felt praise and adoration and thanksgiving. It is easy then.
But that’s the same thing we should do when times get tough. It’s a lot harder then, but that is also the times to bow our knees to worship God with heart felt adoration and praise and thanksgiving.
That’s when our faith and trust is tested. That’s when we step back and trust that God is love and He loves me and He knows what is best in the eternal scheme of things.
Chris Machen words it perfectly in marvellous hymn ‘Bow The Knee.’
There are moments on our journey following the Lord
Where God illumines ev'ry step we take
There are times when circumstances make perfect sense to us
As we try to understand each move He makes
When the path grows dim and our questions have no answers, turn to Him
Bow the knee
Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the knee
Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity
And when you don't understand the purpose of His plan
In the presence of the King, bow the knee
There are days when clouds surround us, and the rain begins to fall
The cold and lonely winds won't cease to blow
And there seems to be no reason for the suffering we feel
We are tempted to believe God does not know
When the storms arise, don't forget we live by faith and not by sight
Bow the knee
Trust the heart of your Father when the answer goes beyond what you can see
Bow the knee
Lift your eyes toward heaven and believe the One who holds eternity
And when you don't understand the purpose of His plan
In the presence of the King, bow the knee
