"Good Plans" by Tasha Layton: Trusting God's Plan For Us


"Good Plans (Live)" by Tasha Layton is a magnificent cover of Red Rocks Worship's original. It's a song that reassures us that God has a plan for our lives. Tasha's rendition of this song was recorded live in Franklin, TN, and is one of the tracks on her album "Worship Through It." The lyrics echo passages found in Psalm 23, passages that offer peace and encourage us to trust in God's guidance. Tasha shares, "I love that God has a plan for us even when we may not see it right in front of us. This song, originally by Red Rocks Worship, has been a constant reminder for me."

Tasha Layton - Good Plans (Live) (Red Rocks Worship Cover)I don't know about you, but I often need this reminder when I can't see the road ahead or start to question what's "the good" about some of the situations I face--"He has good plans for me, so I will take heart in deserts and gardens."

The lyrics encourage us to surrender to God's sovereignty: "The Lord is my shepherd, and He is everything I need… No weapon formed against me will prosper." It's a declaration of faith that may need repeating many times before we can truly trust His provision and protection, especially in those toughest moments that life can throw at us. I feel humbled as I hear Tasha sing, "Surely, Your goodness and mercy will follow after me," remembering His promise to us, that fear cannot thrive in His presence.

Tasha beautifully adds her signature to the warm embrace that the message of this song gives. In all of the excitement and all of the unknown that we are all facing across the world today, we may stand firm in the fact that we know our Father and trust that He has good plans for us.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:1-4; Jeremiah 29:11; Isaiah 54:17)

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
