unstoppale

I’m unstoppable, I’m a Porsche with no brakes

I’m invincible. Yeah, I win every single game

I’m so powerful, I don’t need batteries to play

I’m so confident. Yeah, I’m unstoppable today

The above lyrics are from a song by Australian singer-songwriter, Sia. Written by Sia and Christopher Braide, it was recorded in 2016. It has become popular in the US in recent years due to its use in commercials and TikTok.

I’m not sure how I became aware of this song. The “electro-pop” genre is not really my style. I’m more inclined to listen to Perry Como, Eddy Arnold, or Ray Price. But the catchy refrain struck a nerve with me. It came at a time of frustration in our new church building project.

This thing is dragging out. For all the work we have put into it we have nothing to show for it. We are still waiting for building permits. Still waiting for construction to begin.

But the song reminded me that this project is unstoppable. God will get it done in spite of the obstacles. In the meantime, our job is to sit tight, be patient, and wait on the Lord.
