Lord, I am so thankful,
all is in Your control
oh, how knowing this . . .
my heart it consoles.
For, if it weren’t for You,
being all knowing
I would be alarmed . . .
at the way things are going.
Lord, I am so grateful,
Your wisdom is without limit
oh, how unearthing this . . .
calms my restless spirit.
For, if I did not believe,
You have a perfect plan
I would be frightened . . .
by the evilness of man.
Oh, Lord I am thankful,
everything You control . . .
will work out for the good
of each and every soul!
~~~~~~
Romans 8:28
And we know that all things
work together for good to
them that love God, to them
who are the called according
to his purpose.

God holds the stars,
right in their place
sets the whole earth
into orbit’s race.
He commands the sun,
to up and shine
then tells it when
it needs to recline.
He moves the clouds,
seasons He forms
He controls the calm
orders up the storms.
He tells the moon,
when it’s time to rise
then orders it to dip
right into the skies.
God holds the universe,
right in His hands . . .
for His own pleasure
according to His plans!
~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 147:4
He telleth the number of the stars;
he calleth them all by their names.
Revelation 4:11ย
Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honour
and power: for thou hast created
all things, and for thy pleasure
they are and were created.

Faith is like an airport,
with extended delays
holdups and long waits
turbulence that dismays.
Cancellations and deferments,
can throw our faith in a tailspin
but, if we trust Godโs plans . . .
we can have His peace within.
Faith is like a freeway,
thereโs going to be traffic
sometimes all goes smooth
other times itโs pure havoc.
Postponements and deters,
can set our faith back . . .
but, if we trust Godโs pacing . . .
our confidence will not lack.
Faith is an eventful journey,
we can go along just for the ride
or we can trust Godโs timing . . .
and learn in Him how to abide!

Acts 1:7
And he said unto them,
It is not for you to know
the times or the seasons,
which the Father hath put
in his own power.
Habakkuk 2:3
For the vision is yet for an appointed time,
but at the end it shall speak, and not lie:
though it tarry, wait for it; because it will
surely come, it will not tarry.

I don’t know the future,
or what for me it has in store
I don’t know if it’ll come
peacefully or with a roar.
I don’t know if it’ll hold,
thunderous clouds or blue skies
I don’t know if it’ll bring
me smiles or teary eyes.
I don’t know if it’ll arrive
to add or take from my life
I don’t know if it’ll send
more happiness or strife.
I don’t know if it’ll appear,
as a vapor or as a stream
I don’t know if it’ll produce
in me joy or a scream.
I don’t know the future
or what lies ahead . . .
but I am certain
I will be Spirit lead!
~~~~~~~
James 4:13-15
Go to now, ye that say, To day
or to morrow we will go into such
a city, and continue there a year,
and buy and sell, and get gain:
Whereas ye know not what shall be
on the morrow. For what is your life?
It is even a vapour, that appeareth
for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
For that ye ought to say,
If the Lord will, we shall live,
and do this, or that.

Negative thoughts,
coming from nowhere
bombarding our hearts
with distrust and despair.
From out of the blue,
they attack our mind
robbing us of our hope
leaving anxiety behind.
Negatives thoughts,
blown in like aย whirlwind
til under their control
we find ourselves pinned.
From places unknown,
they come to the surface
assaulting our knowledge
of God and His purpose.
Negative thoughts,
we must take captive
to them we cannot be
inactive or passive!
~~~~~~~~
2 Corinthians 10:5
“Casting down imaginations,
and every high thing that
exalteth itself against
the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity
every thought to the
obedience of Christ;

The hand of God,
is not too short
His plans no man
can ever thwart.
They are powerful,
they are strong
they can make right
all that is wrong.
The hand of God,
can pluck and save
those who are to sin
its worldly slave.
They are freeing,
they are liberating
they can bring change
that is life-saving.
The hand of God,
reaches wide and far
He can touch you
right where you are!
~~~~~~~~

is not shortened,
that it cannot save;”

You’re never too old,
for God to use you
any year of your life
be ready to do.
By faith be willing,
to participate
in the tasks God has
for you to undertake
You’re not over the hill,
until God says so
any day He may say
here is where to go.
Just trust and obey,
where you He sends
and your inheritance
will draw dividends.
You’re not too old,
nor over the hill
to go and do . . .
your Father’s will!
~~~~~~~~
Hebrews 11:8
“By faith Abraham,
when he was called to go
out into a place which he
should after receive for
an inheritance, obeyed;
and he went out, not knowing
whither he went.”

Be patient with God,
He knows what He’s doing
sometimes to our prayers
He takes His time moving.
Be patient with God,
enjoy the time waiting
for the answers to our prayers
He’s carefully delegating.
Be patient with God,
He is working out His plan
you will need a lot of faith
to fill in the time span.
Be patient with God,
give Him the time He needs
not all of His answers
come at rapid speeds.
Be patient with God,
trust Him and be still
He’s working out for you
what is His perfect will.
Be patient with God,
your times are in His hands
and for you He is working on
His awesome, amazing plans!
