It’s been a non-stop day since waking up, Father. May I finish strong, hearing Your words for this day. Amen.

Sometimes my brain just needs a rest. Tonight is one of those times. So instead of an exposition on a passage of Scripture or a lesson pulled from my life or the nature around me, I just want to share a song.
You know I love all kinds of music, so I did one of those “close your eyes, open the Bible, and drop your finger on a passage” kinds of things. I open YouTube, typed the word hymns in the search bar, and this is the first song that came up.
This is one of those songs that we sang at the church my dad pastored in Parsons, West Virginia when I was in high school. The choir was composed of humble, simple people but they loved the Lord with all their hearts and sang His praises with the best of them. I was blessed to be a part of them.
This is what was below the song
Upon losing his wife at a young age, Ira Stanphill wrote “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow” expressing a prayer of surrender to his Savior under circumstances he didn’t understand. God doesn’t promise that walking with him will be easy, but what he does promise is that every day of our lives is in his hands and we can rest in the hope of his Son, Jesus Christ, who paid the punishment for our sins so that we can have hope and eternity with him!
The below video features The Petersens. This is a snippet of what they have to say about themselves.
We celebrate American roots music with family values, and perform full time in Branson, Missouri in the USA. The band consists of four siblings, Katie, Ellen, Matt, and Julianne, our mom Karen, and good friend Emmett Franz.
Enjoy listening to The Petersens singing “I Know Who Holds Tomorrow” and have a great weekend!
