Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.Proverbs 3:5 NASB1995
The song says “I will trust in the Lord. I will trust in the Lord until I die”. As a youth and young adult, it worked my nerves every time the senior choir sang the hymn “I Will Trust In Lord.” As a person that hears the sounds of music, It seemed everybody in the church picked their own note and melody to sing it by. It didn’t matter if it was 10 people or 110 people in the church, it always sounded the same…OFF! And let’s not forget the random “Yes Sir!” From the men’s corner. Drove me nuts!
Now as a seasoned adult, that is, and have lived through some stuff, I’m screaming this song all off key right along with the senior choir.
As I’ve become wiser, I have realized that everyone was singing a different note and tune because to each one this song carried a different testimony. Every note that was held too long was powered with the praise that the Father had come through on His promise.
Every note sung off-key symbolized the expectation of hope.
Every shake in someone’s voice caused by the flowing of tears witnessed to the glory of our Lord and Savior turning sorrow to joy.
What was unpleasing to me was a sweet sound to heaven.
Are you trusting Him today? Or are you like I was? So confused by the noise that you are missing your moments in His presence.
How would you sound if you sang the song I Will Trust in the Lord? Would tears fall? Would you be off key? Would he hear your praise in the melody?
Psalm 20:7-8 says Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm.
Sing your tune! Don’t get distracted! Trust Him! And as His word promised you will stand.
