Scripture: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” — Hebrews 13:5
There are moments in life when uncertainty looms, when circumstances shake us, and when our faith is tested. In those times, we are faced with a choice: to stand firm on God's promises or to let doubt creep in. The song I Know That I Know by The Belonging Co is an anthem of unwavering faith—a declaration that, no matter what comes, we can be sure of God's goodness and faithfulness.
A Faith That Stands Firm
The first verse reminds us of a fundamental truth: God has been good all our lives. His character does not waver, and His promises never fail. “You've been good, good for all my life. So nothing could ever change my mind.” No situation—no valley, no storm—can change who He is. When we reflect on our lives, we can see His faithfulness woven through every season, both in the highs and the lows.
But faith isn't just about what we've experienced. It's also about what we choose to believe, even when we can't see. “I've got a faith that's sure of things I cannot see.” This echoes Hebrews 11:1, which says, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” True faith stands even when sight fails, even when the road ahead is unclear.
A Faith That Anchors
The second verse declares a bold commitment: “I won't look to the left or right, and I will keep heaven in my sight.” How often do distractions pull our gaze away from Jesus? When Peter walked on water, he was fine as long as his eyes were on Christ. But the moment he focused on the wind and waves, he began to sink (Matthew 14:29-30). This song reminds us to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
The bridge drives this truth even deeper: “I won't stand on words of man, God I'll stand on Yours instead.” Human wisdom is fragile. Trends shift, opinions change, and promises are broken. But the Word of God stands forever (Isaiah 40:8). When we anchor our lives in His truth, we build on an unshakable foundation (Matthew 7:24-25).
A Faith That Declares
Worship is more than just words—it's a declaration of what we know to be true. The chorus bursts forth with confidence: “Oh, I know that I know, You won't ever let me go.” This is not a hesitant hope; this is a certainty that God is faithful in every high and every low.
David echoes this in Psalm 37:25: “I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken.” Even when circumstances suggest otherwise, we can boldly proclaim that God is still good. He is still working. He is still holding us.
A Faith That Endures
As the song closes with repeated declarations—“You're faithful all the time”—we are reminded of Lamentations 3:22-23: “Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”
No matter what season you are in today, let this song be your anthem. Stand firm. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Declare His faithfulness. Because in the end, when all else fades, one thing remains: We know that we know—our God is good, and He will never let us go.
Reflection Questions:
When has God proven His faithfulness in your life?
What distractions are pulling your focus away from Jesus?
How can you anchor your heart in God's Word instead of the words of man?
What promises of God do you need to declare over your life today?
Prayer:Lord, thank You for being faithful all the time. Help me to stand firm on Your promises, even when I cannot see the way ahead. Strengthen my faith so that I will not be moved by circumstances, but instead, I will fix my eyes on You. I declare today that I know that I know—You are good, and You will never let me go. Amen.
