'Divine Assurance' (Album) by Karl Wise: Trusting God's timing and sufficiency


The album 'Divine Assurance' by Karl Wise (Faith|Crest) is all about placing unwavering trust in God's timing and sufficiency, afirming that all things are made beautiful in His time, and that Jesus is really more than enough for all of our needs.

Karl Wise - Divine AssuranceThe album consists of 8 songs, reflecting a journey that Karl (and many others) go through. A journey that often starts with questioning the very essence of hope & life, trusting God's perfect timing, embracing whatever comes our way with Christ by our side, and seeing how everything finally falls into place because God provides everything that we need. 

Karl shares how he faced lots of challenges in life, from lost opportunities, to broken relationships, and dreams that appeared to be just out of reach. He shares, 'With each setback, my spirit dimmed a little bit more, and I even started asking myself if I would ever find my way back to joy.' At that point, Karl's life felt pretty grim. He prayed, putting himself out there and asking God for help. He opened up to God and asked for help, strength, and a new sense of purpose. During one of these prayerful moments, Karl felt a blanket of peace come over him. That's also when Karl realized that God had a plan, a perfect plan that unfolds in His time, a ray of hope beyond the struggles he was facing. 

Each song represents a part of Karl's journey, and shares the lessons he learned and the love that he found along the way.

  1. In His Time sets the stage, a declaration of faith that reminds us all that God's timing is always perfect, even when we can't see it.

  2. Today Is Mine encourages listeners to embrace the present, to seize every moment as a gift, and to trust that God is working in our lives right now.

  3. No Turning Back is a song of determination, a reminder to forget about the world and just focus on moving forward with Christ.

  4. No More Delays - this is Karl's song about his decision to trust in God's timing, losing the self-inflicted burden called impatience, and embracing the journey ahead.

  5. In His Arms celebrates the protection and love we may find in God's embrace. It's a reminder that God will never abandon us.

  6. Jesus Is Enough is a song that, just like the title suggests, proclaims that Christ is always enough. He provides all we need in every situation. He is more than enough!

  7. My Proverbs 31 Woman is a tribute to the incredible woman in his life, celebrating her strength, wisdom, and joy as they wait together for God's perfect plan and timing.

  8. Faithful God wraps up this part of the journey with a powerful affirmation of God's unwavering love and faithfulness, and gives us another reminder that He is always by our side, and ready to guide us through every storm (if you let Him take the lead).

So, go ahead, give 'Divine Assurance' a listen. I trust that you will agree that the songs on this album are both relatable and a pleasure to listen to.

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller: A Tender Tribute to a Loyal Friend

Beneath this gentle Americana-style song, "Tucker's Song" by Stephen M. Miller, is the heartbreak of a seven-year-old boy. The day his grandson had to say goodbye to his dog, Tucker, he asked Stephen, "Will you write a song for Tucker? Can we pretend he's still around?" How can you not say "Yes" to such a request?  This song offers comfort by simply being honest. Instead of dramatizing the grief, the message sits with it and invites the listener to reflect as well. It's lines like "Sing the song to Tucker, sing to all dogs gone away" that remind us that precious memories endure. Have you ever asked yourself how to comfort a grieving child? I know that these situations often remind me that we're all searching for hope after more than one loss! On top of that, how can you extend that hope to a grieving child? Even in situations like the loss of a dear four-legged pet, there is a message of faith to be found: "Sing to God, the...
