"Good Plans" by Tasha Layton: Trusting God's Plan For Us


"Good Plans (Live)" by Tasha Layton is a magnificent cover of Red Rocks Worship's original. It's a song that reassures us that God has a plan for our lives. Tasha's rendition of this song was recorded live in Franklin, TN, and is one of the tracks on her album "Worship Through It." The lyrics echo passages found in Psalm 23, passages that offer peace and encourage us to trust in God's guidance. Tasha shares, "I love that God has a plan for us even when we may not see it right in front of us. This song, originally by Red Rocks Worship, has been a constant reminder for me."

Tasha Layton - Good Plans (Live) (Red Rocks Worship Cover)I don't know about you, but I often need this reminder when I can't see the road ahead or start to question what's "the good" about some of the situations I face--"He has good plans for me, so I will take heart in deserts and gardens."

The lyrics encourage us to surrender to God's sovereignty: "The Lord is my shepherd, and He is everything I need… No weapon formed against me will prosper." It's a declaration of faith that may need repeating many times before we can truly trust His provision and protection, especially in those toughest moments that life can throw at us. I feel humbled as I hear Tasha sing, "Surely, Your goodness and mercy will follow after me," remembering His promise to us, that fear cannot thrive in His presence.

Tasha beautifully adds her signature to the warm embrace that the message of this song gives. In all of the excitement and all of the unknown that we are all facing across the world today, we may stand firm in the fact that we know our Father and trust that He has good plans for us.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:1-4; Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 54:17)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt - Miracle In The Works (CCM)

Bryan & Katie Torwalt has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Miracle In The Works. LYRICS: Some may say it’s hopeless They must have never met my God  Some may say it’s over But it was finished on the cross Some may say it’s broken But the Healer’s in the room  Some may say it’s hopeless But I know    God’s about to move...   There’s a miracle in the works I can feel it There’s revival in the church I believe it   Some may see an ocean But He’s made a highway through Some may see a mountain  But we’ve seen a mountain move Some may see a graveyard But we’ve seen His empty tomb Some may see a battle But I know   Reignite us, reawaken Breath of God, come breathe again Like the dry bones started shaking All that died will live again  Oh the miracle You’re making The beginning not the end Eternity is waiting  To see Your church alive again   You are my miracle Jesus You are my miracle   #BryanandKatieTorw...

"Empty Hand" by Marcus & Jalyn McGill: Embracing God’s Presence as the Ultimate Gift

The idea behind Marcus & Jalyn McGill's new song, "Empty Hand," was triggered by a deeply personal season of infertility. One of their writers, Jennifer, had a vision where God was extending His hand to her, not holding the longed-for child, but an empty hand offering something much greater… His presence in the waiting. This vision became the center of this song and is an important message for anyone who is holding onto a wish/longing for a miracle that hasn't come to pass.  In this song we hear the message that comes along with His extended hand. "I've been watching as you've been waiting / As you focus on your lack," reminding us that it's so easy to get trapped in our pain when prayers don't seem to be answered. It's a pain that distracts and causes us to forget that He's "… more than enough." God already has a miracle for you, "I'm holding out My hand to you // Don't think because it's empty // I h...
