INSTRUMENTAL
Always On Time (feat. Bella Cordero) - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song "Always On Time" by Elevation Worship is a beautiful testament to God's unwavering presence and faithfulness in our lives. It echoes the sentiments found in Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." The lyrics of the song and this verse both remind us that God is always with us, in every moment, every circumstance, and every season of our lives.
The song's chorus, "Jesus, I was tossed in the water, but I never went under. You were always on time," resonates with the story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-41. Even when the disciples were terrified, thinking they would perish, Jesus was there, calming the storm and their fears. Similarly, the verse, "Jesus, when I went through the fire, You were right there beside me," brings to mind the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace in Daniel 3. They were not alone in the fire; a fourth figure, God, was with them, protecting them.
The song's bridge, "There's never been a day, never been a minute, never been a moment that You weren't in it," is a powerful affirmation of God's omnipresence, reminiscent of Psalm 139:7-10, "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there."
The song and these scriptures remind us that God is not just a distant observer. He is an active participant in our lives, always present, always working, always on time. He is there in our joy and our sorrow, our triumphs and our trials, our calm and our storms. He is not just a God of the mountaintop, but also of the valley. He is not just a God of the daylight, but also of the night.
As we reflect on the lyrics of this song and the corresponding scriptures, let's ask ourselves: Do we truly believe that God is always with us? Do we trust that He is always on time, even when our circumstances suggest otherwise? How can we cultivate a deeper awareness of God's constant presence and perfect timing in our daily lives? Let's take some time to ponder these questions and invite God to reveal Himself more fully to us. Let's remember that He is always on time, always present, and always faithful.
