I am so glad He is sovereign over my yesterdays. My God is the God of my yesterdays - all the way He has led me to follow Him, all of the mistakes I've made, all the triumphant moments - and He is the God of my tomorrows.
This Matt Redman song declares that we praise the God of our yesterdays, our todays, and our tomorrows.
This is particularly poignant to me as I meditate on the words of Psalm 124.
"Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,"
Let Israel now say,
"Had it not been the Lord who was on our side,
When men rose up against us..."
If not for the Lord; I can't even imagine. I see His Providential intervention even in the hidden stories of my yesterdays that I'm glad didn't end up in the yearbook or in the gossip circles. And I'm glad I can praise Him for the deliverance He provided through His strength alone.
"God of our Yesterdays," by Matt Redman, is on the Passion God of this City album (2208).
