This was one that I thought would make it into the top 5 it is just so catchy... under da sea! But what is this song all about... really what do you guys think this song is about?

There is an old adage that goes "The Grass is always greener on the other side" This is something that we really perpetuate in the world today, the idea that we must have it the worst out of every one and that if we could just be someone else or live somewhere else or have different friends or a nicer car or a bigger, faster, better life then we would be happy. The crazy thing about that is there are all of these celebrities in the news all the time who are just miserable.  They are always getting caught up in drugs and affairs, they are living the American dream with wealth and power and they are more unhappy than the man who gets up every morning and works his tail off 12 hours a day to barely take care of his family.  What I want us to realize when we think about this song under the sea is that God has put us where we are for a reason.  He knows what is going on in the world and in all history and He has a plan for us right where we are... check this out

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. You see God really does know what it best for us and He is always trying to give us the best of everything look at this verse here

Matt. 7:9-11

"You parents-if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?  Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

If we can agree that your parents are not idiots, and God is much smarter than they are then God must really know how to give the best gifts. I know that some of you are thinking... "Well Patrick what about the times when things are going bad, what about when I feel like the whole world is against me?" Well God tells us about those times as well and gives us several promises to look at.

1 Corinthians 10:13 The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

It all comes down to the idea that we need to

Trust in God and the plans He has for US!
