An immensely talented musician, Danny Gokey, turned in an emotional and uplifting performance, singing about God's love, protection and faithfulness. 

Life is a series of unexpected events and situations, some of which can result in difficulty, hurt and sorrow. Everyone walking on Earth will encounter unfair and unpredictable circumstances, periods of confusion and dark valleys. Some times will pull, test and stretch the faith of Christians - even those who have followed Christ for decades.

However, God, in His word, promises on multiple occasions to never leave or forsake us during our time of need. He understands the situations, knows our hearts and is still in control even when He may appear to be absent. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, former American Idol contest Danny Gokey sings, “I Got You.” It’s a tune about relying upon God, having faith and knowing He is still there through everything. He is by our side through every high and every low. God is faithful.

“Why should I tremble with worry and fear?
If I am your temple, You’re already here
Heaven surrounds me when I call Your name
There’s nothing that You cannot change”

Those beautifully written lyrics reinforce the idea found several times throughout God’s word that He is always guiding, directing and protecting. He provides healing and comfort during the storm. He can also bring hope to a situation that, at first and even second look, would appear to be hopeless. 

Everyone will face terrible situations, hardships and trials. Those times may even cause us to ask questions of God. But Christians can stand on God’s promise that he will never leave or forsake us. He is merciful and loving and uses all things for the good of those who love Him. 

Deuteronomy 7:9 “Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;”
