Understanding God’s Guidance Through Trust

FLOYD ROGERS

Learning how God works comes through experience and obedience. As a person follows God’s leading and responds to His direction, they begin to notice patterns in how He moves in different situations. With time, it becomes clearer how God responds when certain choices are made. This gradual understanding helps believers recognise His ways.

While God willingly offers guidance, some matters remain known only to Him. He chooses not to explain every reason behind what happens in life. People often feel the need to understand everything, believing it will bring them peace. However, peace does not come from having all the answers. It comes from trusting God, especially when the reasons are unclear.

Even without knowing why, peace is possible through trusting Him.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all [b]comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

The Rogers Family affirms the Lord’s eternal presence, power with “He’s Still God”

SPECIAL HORIZON & SONLITE RECORDS

Arden, North Carolina (September 26, 2025) — For their Horizon Records debut, The Rogers Family have chosen a rollicking affirmation of the Lord’s eternal presence and power that exemplifies the group’s respect for the Southern Gospel tradition — and their mastery of the genre’s signature harmonizing.

“We’re so excited to officially release our brand new single, ‘He’s Still God,'” enthuses Rebekah Shields, who takes the lead through most of the song. “This upbeat and joyful song has quickly become one of our favorites to sing, and we pray it becomes an encouragement to you as well. No matter what life brings, it’s a powerful reminder that He’s still God… and He’s still on the throne!”

Kicked off with an interchange between legendary studio multi-instrumentalist David Johnson’s fiddle and the piano of the family’s mother, Kim Shields, “He’s Still God” features the group’s own creative arrangement. Its first verse is sung by the trio of youngsters — Rebekah, Samuel and Hannah Shields — but another verse follows as Rebekah takes the lead, and as the song progresses, the shape of the chorus is repeatedly recast, with different voices emerging to take the lead and offer the triumphant lyric:

He’s still God (He’s still God), who rolled back the troubled water
He’s still God (He’s still God) and He’s still in control
He’s still God (He’s still God) though the world may be raging
He’s still God (He’s still God) He can calm your troubled soul
When it seems (when it seems that) that you have been defeated
Speak His name (Speak His name) and you are not alone
He’s ever listening (He’s ever listening) for the cry of His children
He’s still God (He’s still God) and He’s still on the throne

With its snappy call-and-response, down home feeling and intricately intertwined voices, “He’s Still God” offers both a memorable listening experience and, for those who have not yet heard them, an outstanding introduction to The Rogers Family.

The Comfort of the Shepherd’s Care

Psalm 23:4 says that the shepherd’s rod and staff bring comfort. These were not random objects. The staff, with its curve, guided sheep when they wandered into danger. The rod, a strong club, protected the flock by driving away predators. One corrected mistakes made by the sheep, while the other defended them from outside threats.

For David, both were signs of safety, and the same is true for us. Living under God’s care means His hand reaches into our struggles, whether they come from our own choices or from enemies around us. Because of this, we should not push back when God disciplines us. His correction is for our good, and His protection is certain.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

Romans 8:31

Why Believers Need Each Other

Hebrews 10:25 reminds us not to give up meeting with other believers. While this verse is often seen as a simple call to attend church, it actually points to something deeper. The message is about how important it is for Christians to stay connected with one another in regular, meaningful ways.

Gathering with fellow believers helps us grow in love and good actions. It’s a time when we encourage and support one another. The Christian life is not meant to be lived alone. The New Testament gives many instructions that involve relationships with others. We hear of praying together, correcting each other, offering love, and giving comfort. These can only happen when believers come together in fellowship.

When someone chooses to stay away from the church community, they miss out on the spiritual help and accountability that come with it. Following Jesus faithfully becomes much harder if we try to go it alone.

Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2

Trusting God’s Guidance Even When It Doesn’t Make Sense

God offers guidance to those who seek it. When we ask Him for direction, it’s important that we follow what He reveals, even if it doesn’t immediately make sense to us. Often, people hesitate because they can’t fully understand God’s plan. In those moments, they may be tempted to choose what seems easier or more appealing to them. However, relying on human judgement over God’s wisdom leads us off course.

God’s word reminds us that He understanding far exceeds our own. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

The Bible is the source of light for those seeking direction. If we want the truth, we need to listen carefully to God through His Word and obey, setting aside personal feelings or opinions.

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and [a]without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

James 1:5-6
