Pushing past the fear and doubt.

On a return flight from Marrakech to Manchester, United Kingdom, I opened my YouTube music app to play any downloaded music since we had no network connection on air. I actually believed I had saved a couple of songs offline, but to my surprise, i found only one song on my offline downloads.

The only song I found was ‘God will work it out’ by Maverick City featuring Naomi Raine and Israel Houghton.

It is not a new song to me, I had played it often especially on my way to work on the days I didn’t feel like showing up, and on my way back from work after a rough day.

Today, I was hoping to find a secular song that can take my mind off the fact that I hated the whole plane taking off moment and steadying on air.

I went ahead to play it through my headphones, I relaxed into my chair with my eyes closed, head tilted, chin lifted, and hands folded into the other.

Shortly after the first verse, the second verse went through the crevices of my anxious mind and held it together. It goes thus ‘pushing past the fear, fighting to believe he is making ways for me. And he won’t let me down…’.

Then the chorus ‘when my heart is full of doubt, feels like faith is running out; I have come to far to turn back now, I know God will work it out, one thing I know, one thing I have found, God will work it out’.

At that moment, all I could think of was how things have come together to bring me to this very moment where I can afford to get into a flight and travel for leisure. This is a life I only dreamt of few years ago but I was convinced would be my reality in time to come.

It is becoming clear as day, just as the ending of the song said ‘God is working now!’.
