Lo, I am with you all the appointed days." (Matt. 28:20) (Variorum Version
Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in fear. Rather look at them with full hope that, as they arise, God, whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you hitherto; do you but hold fast to His dear hand, and He will lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms.
Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. The same everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace, then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. ━Frances do Sales
The Lord is my shepherd…."(Ps.
Not was, not may be, nor will be. "The Lord is my shepherd," is on Sunday, is on Monday, and is through every day of the week; is in January, is in December, and every month of the year; is at home, and is in China; is in peace, and, is in war; in abundance, and in penury. ━J. Hudson Taylor
HE will silently plan for thee
Object thou of omniscient care
God Himself undertakes to be
Thy Pilot through each subtle snare.
He WILL silently plan for thee
So certainly, He cannot fail
Rest on the faithfulness of God
In Him thou surely shalt prevail.
He will SILENTLY plan for thee
Some wonderful surprise of love.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard
But it is kept for thee above.
He will silently PLAN for thee
His purposes shall all unfold
The tangled skein shall shine at last
A masterpiece of skill untold.
He will silently plan FOR THEE
Happy child of a Father's care
As though no other claimed His love
But thou alone to Him wert dear.
