The God Who Gives and Take Away

An uplifting song by Matt Redman - Blessed be Your Name

An excerpt

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

Whenever you face challenges and are in need of comfort, remember this song which
says that our God is the god who gives peace and joy, in exchange for your sorrows.
Many times, we depend on our own selves to get out of sticky situations, or the
comforting words of our friends to make us feel better.

Been there, done that. I can tell you that none of those is comparable to the peace
that God gives when we sing His praises wholeheartedly, even in bad times. God sees
that as a precious sacrifice and He rewards those who seek and praise Him with
abundant peace and joy.

Blessed be the Name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob forever and ever, amen!
