Almost a year ago, the band, The Fray , came out with a new album. I loved the album but my favorite song from their new album, was “You Found Me.”

Now, this song stirred up a lot of controversy from the Christian community because they claimed that the song was questioning God (since it’s pretty well known that most of the band is Chrsitian). That’s not at ALL what the song is doing. The song is not questioning God, rather, it’s questioning His timing. At one point at or another, we’ve all questioned God’s timing! We’ve wondered why did someone we love have to leave us so soon. We’ve wondered why we got laid-off a couple days before the landlord came to collect the money for the rent. We’ve wondered where God was when it seemed like our life was falling apart.

The beautiful part of the song is the chorus. It says, “You found me. You found me. Lost and insecure, You found me.” It’s true. He found me. Lost and insecure… He found me. He found you. He came to the rescue, and found us. He came to the rescue and has wiped away our tears. He came to the rescue and has chosen to love us despite knowing the millions of times we’d hurt Him. He came to the rescue and sacrificed His only Son for you…. for me.

God knew we’d eventually question His timing so he left us with a little bit of wisdom in Isaiah 40:31. It reads, “But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles,they run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind.”

Have you ever doubted or questioned God’s timing? How did the situation end up? Did God use it to build you or make you stronger?
