If you got up this morning it wasn’t by accident. God in His mercy and grace, is the sole reason you are alive and reading this song description. Yes, every person on earth having breath in their lungs, have it so, because God has filled them and caused them to function in sustaining their lives. You are alive right now not because of anything you have done to extend your life or to safeguard your physical health, but as a result of God’s benevolent and merciful involvements carried out in your behalf to bring you safely to this point. 

Whether your present state is filled with one unexpected positive experience after another, or you are being pushed to the limits of your human endurance, you are a ready recipient of opportunities to experience life at its fullest possible level. You have been given the precious gift of time to experience life that’s not detrimental in its affects upon you, but instrumental in causing you to realize life as it was meant to be; steeped in fulfillment, purpose, reward and lasting satisfaction. Acknowledge God as the only One responsible for your destiny, and “Let him have all your worries and cares, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you.” (1 Peter 5:7 The Living Bible) So much good awaits you! But you must come to the place in your life where you realize how bad things would be if it were not for God working ever faithfully in your behalf, and saying with all conviction of heart to Him: How sad things would be for me dear Lord, if not for You!

If Not For You
