Nothing compares to the promise I have in You

"I sing for joy at the work of Your hands." - from song: shout to the Lord

I always refer 'the work of Your hands' to God's creation like the sky, the moon, the stars, the galaxy, etc. But then this morning as I was worshiping, it hit me..that the 'works of Your hands' could also mean His hands moulding me, shaping me, correcting me, disciplining me, making me into His image.

Can I still sing for joy at the work of His hands when the discipline gets tough?

Can I still sing for joy at the work of His hands when it's painful?

For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. Hebrews 12:10-11


I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
Forever I'll love you, Forever I'll stand,
Nothing compares to the promise I have in You.
