Embracing God's Perfect Timing: Nick Dyer's "Master Plan"


Nick Dyer - Master Plan"Master Plan" by Nick Dyer reminds us that God's timing is always right, even though we may believe things aren't going the way we think they should be going. Nick takes us back to a time when the world was looking for a mighty king. But in God's plan, that King came in the form of a baby named Jesus, who was born in a manger. When Mary and Joseph held Jesus in their arms and looked at their baby, as parents do, they had no idea that one day His hands and feet would be pierced on a cross. 

The song recounts Jesus' life from the time He was a baby until He died on the cross and rose from the dead. It is through God's "Master plan" that we all may receive hope and eternal life if we believe in Him. Nick tells us to just trust His plan because God's love is constantly at work in ways we might not be able to see or understand. "Master Plan" is a beautiful reminder that when we have doubts, just place your faith in God's only Son, because His Plan will give your lives hope, purpose, and direction, even when we don't understand how everything is going to work out and fall into place. 

Go ahead and give "Master Plan" by Nick Dyer a listen. Enjoy!

"You Are Holy" by Spirit Worship: Honest Worship When Hope Runs Thin

Honest worship starts exactly where your pain is. Years of loss pushed the songwriter behind “You Are Holy” into a wilderness. Loved ones died, jobs and homes disappeared, health and finances faltered, and a church plant that failed. Most worship songs felt dishonest to him during that season, so the Psalms became his lifeline. “You Are Holy” sits down beside you and tells the truth. “It’s hard to be patient with nothing but time.” “It’s hard to be hopeful when everything dies.” Have you ever whispered something like that? That’s okay, it’s what we do next that makes a difference! “Yet though I am suffering, I’ll trust in Your name.” David faced that same kind of challenge in Psalm 13. He opens with “How long, O LORD?” and lands here: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” His circumstances barely moved between the first verse and verse five, but his gaze did. You can do the same today. Be honest with God. Tell Him exactly how heavy e...

"My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)" by Avery Stafford: One Heart at Peace Can Change the Room

Peace begins in a willing heart. When did you last open your own time capsule? Avery Stafford found a time capsule somewhere in his mind and opens it in his song “My Love of Christmas (Peace Starts in Me)”. His time capsule contained a Folgers can filled with buttons and thread, a crystal globe, a denim patch, and the scent of Avon cologne. Seemingly ordinary treasures, but each one carries a Christmas that he’s never stopped loving. Avery blends gospel warmth with soulful pop to speak to the child in all of us, the child who still believes that Love leads the way. In the bridge, he wishes that child well, “forever dancing under the starlight with stories yet to tell.” The song also reminds us that memories alone cannot fix a restless / broken world, and he knows it: “We long for happily ever afters, but none of us really knows.” So where does peace begin? Not in a headline, a treaty, the outcome of the midterms, or a December calendar. Paul gives us an answer in Colossians 3:15: “And...

"The Manger King" by Prestonwood Worship: God With Us, Hope For The World

Where do you find hope this Christmas? “The Manger King” by Prestonwood Worship opens with a question and gives you no time to dodge it: “Can you hear it? Can you see it now?” A strong male lead and a full choir carry the song, with strings, piano, synths and drums building a sound big enough for the news it brings. The news is Emmanuel, “God with us” . Matthew 1:22–23 gives the name its meaning: “All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us)” . Think about that. The Creator of Heaven and Earth chose a feeding trough, a cold night, and a poor family. He didn’t shout from a distance. He came close enough to touch. The lyrics make it clear how Love came, “In the silence, heaven touched the ground.” Does your silence feel heavy? Are you going through a hard season, a strained family table, confronted with an empty chair? Do you believe He enters ...
