GOD MOVES IN ...

God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace;
Behind a frowning providence,
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a better taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.

William Cowper

 

'...God has a way about making our lives reflect His eternal plan. Even when we think we are in charge, He lets us know who is really running the show. His wisdom is unfolding in our lives every day. Take time to thank Him for bringing you through dangers unseen, and problems solved, in His time....'

We are made wise not by the recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future./George Bernard Shaw
