His Will: What does it look like?

Song: I will
Band: Citizen Way

Driving home the other night this song came on and as the words “He will carry you through darkness until we see the sun again” played, I just said within myself how I just want to do God’s will. And in that moment of life, I didn’t feel my life was going according to God’s will. Does it look like His will? Heck no. How can this be God’s will? It looks the opposite.
But God then reminded me of Moses, hunted as an infant and raised in the home of his enemies, the very people who tried to kill him; Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers because his father loved him more; Samson, betrayed by Delilah; Jesus going to the cross after being beaten beyond recognition though he was innocent, and dying on a cross like a criminal.
I thought to myself, their lives don’t look at all how a popular (or in my opinion popular) idea of what God’s will is. Their lives were hard, they weren’t always filled with sunshine and rainbows. They were lied about, betrayed, rejected. But these men did God’s will.
Moses delivered God’s people, Samson got back at the Philistines, Joseph was second to Pharaoh, and Jesus is King of kings.

That line “He will carry you through darkness until we see the sun again.” The image of Jesus swooping down and carrying me up like an Eagle to its baby came to mind. He will carry me, He is with me through the darkness, and taking me toward the sun.
So if things don’t seem like how you thought or how you think God wants them to be, listen to this song, be encouraged. Think of the heroes of the Bible, their lives, what they went through, how God got them through.

He will.
