God Only Knows [Meditation]

I feel like I want to make some blog posts focused on meditating on words, Scripture, song lyrics, etc., just anything that can be encouraging and help in day to day lifestyle. Henceforth, I shall add the [Meditation] to the end of the post's title to let you know in case you (the reader) want to use the blog search function and find other similar posts.

That being said, tonight I want to meditate upon the words of for KING & COUNTRY's song "God Only Knows".

This song is powerful. It serves as a reminder that no matter what you've been through, no matter what you're going through, no matter what you will go through, God knew it, knows about it, and already knows about it all. That while circumstances and life may all the sudden throw curveballs into your life and then things go upside down, He hasn't forsaken nor forgotten you yet, and He will not forget nor forsake you ever. There's nothing you could ever do to push God away. His love is greater than any love you could ever find or experience on Earth, and the amount of love He shows is almost unfathomable to our relatively basic human minds in comparison to His mind.

Times these days are getting confusing, a lot of people say it's the end times and the world's end is upon us. That this is going to lead into the apocalypse and it will really become survival of the fittest. Maybe that's true, maybe it isn't. What I want to focus on is that God has a plan and He's never surrendered authority before anything the world bends their knee to.

What's also great about the song for tonight's post is that if you're feeling a world of hurt, or feel alone because you feel that no one really knows how you feel about any given situation, God knows everything and is there to support you through everything.

Like the previous post regarding the song "joy.", I will provide a link to the music video for either you to watch, or just to listen to as you read along to the lyrics, which I will also provide:

Wide awake while the world is sound asleepin'
Too afraid of what might show up while you're dreamin'
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody, nobody would believe you
Every day you try to pick up all the pieces
All the memories, they somehow never leave you
Nobody, nobody, nobody sees you
Nobody, nobody, nobody would believe you

God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love

You keep a cover over every single secret
So afraid if someone saw them they would leave
But somebody, somebody, somebody sees you
Somebody, somebody will never leave you

God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows how it's killing you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love

For the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
Oh for the lonely, for the ashamed
The misunderstood, and the ones to blame
What if we could start over
We could start over
We could start over
'Cause there's a kind of love that God only knows

God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
But there's a kind of love that God only knows
God only knows what you've been through
God only knows what they say about you
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love
There's a kind of love that
There's a kind of love

God only knows where to find you
God only knows how to break through
God only knows the real you
There's a kind of love that God only knows

These are powerful lyrics. Lyrics that are inspiring and can help you find your calm in the storm. To know that the all powerful God of the universe is on your side and is there to be your support system. Know that you never have to face any of life's struggles or sudden life changes alone. That God is there for you, and He also provides people on earth to help you really feel the connection and the support.

I know that for myself, while I watched my world flip upside down over these past 2-3 months, that I had friends who helped me through it. To help me grow and realize my mistakes. To realize that God is still sovereign and will forever be sovereign. And these are all connections I wouldn't have made without God working in the background for all these years. Seemingly strange quirks or interests about me brought me connections I will forever be thankful for. And it's something you never would have expected. But that's awe-inspiring because over all the years, God has been working this for my good, and He has always been good.

So as you move along with your life, know that God knows what you're going through and will be there for you. Just cast your cares, your worries, your pains, your everything upon Him. He will be your strength and your rock. You can trust Him for anything you may be going through right now.

Go forth into a new dawn, with the assurance that God is working all things for each and every one of our good.
