I'm a Cannonball in His Hands reminds us that God is more interested in preparing us than promoting us. We often want the launch before the lesson, the spotlight before the surrender, and the victory before the refining. But every season of waiting has a purpose.
Favorite Lyric
They wink in the shadows, smile too wide. Tightrope shaking where I tried to hide. Reaching for my darling, calling my name, but the Lion of Judah stepped into flame. Behold, the Lion of Judah has prevailed. He saves His darling… His darling He saved.

A circus cannonball captures the crowd's attention for only a few seconds, but countless hours of preparation happen before the launch. The cannon must be inspected, the barrel cleaned, the aim carefully set, and every detail checked before anyone is fired through the air. In the same way, God often does His greatest work in the hidden seasons. Before He calls us into a greater purpose, He shapes our character, strengthens our faith, and teaches us to trust His timing.
I'm a Cannonball in His Hands is a reminder that God's delays are not His denials. He knows exactly when we are ready to be released into the plans He has prepared for us. Rather than rushing ahead in our own strength, we are called to remain in His hands, allowing Him to aim every step of our lives. The safest place is not flying on our own but resting in the hands of the Master who never misses His mark.

The crowd watched the cannon, but Heaven watched the hands that prepared it. While everyone else measured the distance of the flight, God measured the depth of my faith. I wanted the applause that came after the launch, but He wanted a heart that trusted Him before the fire was ever lit.
There were days when waiting felt heavier than moving. I questioned the silence, the hidden places, and the slow work I could not see. Yet every prayer became another layer of strength, every trial another lesson in trust, and every delay another reminder that God's timing is never late.
Then I realized the greatest miracle was not how far I would fly, but whose hands were holding me. I no longer feared the waiting because I knew the Master Cannoneer never wastes a season. He prepares every shot with purpose, every direction with wisdom, and every landing with grace.
So I rest in His hands until He says, "Now." I do not launch myself, chase the spotlight, or race ahead of His will. When the moment comes, I will fly exactly where He intended, because the safest place before the boom is still in the hands of the One who never misses His mark.
