The Beauty of Uncertainty
Benjamin William Hastings’ Faith Journey
Known for his role in Hillsong United, Benjamin William Hastings music often touches us deeply because it mirrors the unpredictability and sincerity of real life. He spoke with Family Life Radio about his approach to songwriting. His ability to find God in all things reminds us to look for the divine in every aspect of our lives.
Benjamin attributes his authenticity to where he chooses to begin. “If you start with the answer, the question feels a whole lot less sincere,” he explains.
He trusts that God will provide the answers or that the answers are already within God’s infinite wisdom. “You trust that God’s going to either give you the answer or even if he doesn’t, that somewhere in Him is the answer.” (See Isaiah 55:8-11.)
Acknowledging his own limitations, Benjamin says, “I do not have it all figured out. And I think if God’s infinite, then how arrogant of me to think I even have a clue. …There’s so much to know, and I’m excited to continue to go on that journey and figure out what more that I can know about God.”
His excitement about his journey speaks about uncovering new truths about God and growing in his understanding.
