This is the transcription file of the podcast “Kiki and Ingrid” a young chinese woman talkes to Ingrid, the singer, about her songs.

In this post we talk about the song: A good way

Standing in your presence makes me believe
You re the creator of universe who is leading everything
And full of love you take care on me you see where I am
You re reaching your loving hand you guide my way
And it s a good way you have for me when the night falls down
You light up a light for me so I never will get lost
It s a small way you are leading me, sometimes it s difficult to see
I see only a bit of it but it s prepared for all my days
And all the topics I worry about become so unimportant
When I put my hand in yours stop to be frightened
I long for more love and confidence to my father in heaven
Who takes care of all my needs long before I m praying
At least I ask who has created me gives life and gifts to me
Shall the Lord who is owning me not take care of his child
We are sheep in the shepherds hand we just go where he leads us
Valleys and mountains Rivers of streaming water

Below are some questions for sister in this song:

What does it mean to believe in the creator of the universe who leads everything?
Sister, do you really believe in this world created by God?

Yes. Because when we find a creation, there must be a creator. I the epistle of Romans, Paul wrote, that all humans can experience God by observing his creation.

All other philosophies and opinions don t make sense: When somebody thinks, the big bang is the origin of earth, so is my question, who initiated the big bang. When somebody says the earth created itself by coincidence, then my question is, how can something that formed itself by coincidence be so perfect. It is obvious, that there was a higher intelligence who worked creation and in the bible God presents himself as God the creator.

How does the presence of a loving God provide comfort and guidance in difficult times?
I am suffering from current work situation, face unfair workload and people who want to overuse me I truly hope to get this answer from God.

First of all, God gives us a user tutorial how we can live and manage our lives better and can achieve peace and comfort. This book is the bible and we can learn of the law and the words of Jesus as well as the life of many people who lived thousands of years before us with the same struggles as we have today.

When we have received Jesus as our Savior we are sealed with the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit is, to remember us in each situation on the words of the Bible and how we should adapt them to our situation. We are not always willing to obey, so his voice can be very silent and we lose ourselves in difficult situations. But when we learn to hear his voice and obey, we have together with God’s word a lamp unto our feed as it is written in the Salem’s and we know how to act in uncomfortable power struggles.

In case of problems with other people Jesus said: Come here and learn from me, because I am meek and humble from my heart. Sometimes it is wiser to be quiet or to give the other cheek and to pray, that God solves the problem for us.

And your question about the presence of God: When I begin to pray and having fellowship with him, I feel a great peace in my heart, that only he can give me.

What is the significance of the light that God provides when the night falls down?
And the light can lead us into a peaceful state. How does that kind of feeling?

We all know that life consists in day and night. Sometimes we have so joyful days, that we would like, that they never end, but then there can be days of sorrow and grief, too.

And because of this I wrote this down, when life is very hard and troubled, God gives us hope and carries us. He gives a light in the darkness. When I had sad days I prayed: Give me one thing to be happy this day and he answered, that there was a little star even the day was sad.

And after sad times and darkness come the day and the sun again. That is the way we live here on earth.

How does faith in God help to put worries and concerns into perspective?

Sometimes, there are worries which are very hard to handle, as the death of a beloved person or a near friend. In this moments we see, that Gods plan has not been that human beings die and that we are not prepared to face the death of someone we loved.

It is the consequence of Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, that they had to go out of Eden and to die.

Often we miss the person our whole life but God gives us the strength and the hope to go on with our live. He feeds us with good thoughts and we can read in the Salem’s 150 songs from people who lived ups and downs and about the promised savior.

What is the relationship between God as a shepherd and humans as sheep?

Jesus says I am the good shepherd who gives his life for his sheep.
We know his voice and follow him. And he knows us and he goes ahead.

And in Psalm 23 he says, that he leads us to grass and fresh water. When our soul is thirsty, he provides us with everything we need.

How does the natural world, such as valleys, mountains, and rivers, reflect the presence and care of God? How can we really feel him alive with us daily?

In Psalm 23 it is written, that he prepares a table in the presence of our enemies and even we have went in the valley of darkness, we don t fear.

Sometimes, before I fall asleep at night, I imagine the table, that Jesus prepares for me. That he feeds my soul and even there are enemies like the fallen angels, he is with me and keeps me save.

What you learnt after you created this song in your life?

I like this song very much, because I give glory to God with this song.

It is a song which is very true and I wrote it, because I wanted to give thanks to God for all his care.
