Short and Sweet

So after my "book" I wrote last time, I won't write one quite as long. Have you ever had one of those days when you know God's teaching you something, but you don't know what it is? And it's almost as though everything that happens is specifically pointing you to that one thing God's trying to teach you? This is most definitely one of those days...actually it's one of those weeks! But I find that the more I hide myself in God and His Word, the clearer it all becomes. (Profound, I know!) But it's amazing to know that even though it's driving me NUTS not knowing exactly what God's teaching me, that He's still in control. So many emotions...so many thoughts. God's leading...and I'm really glad He's in control. Scary to think of what I would do if I were in control!

How can I make it thru another day--
My heart is troubled so?
It seems the blessings always pass me by,
And heartache's all I know.
The trials in my life,
Such struggles how they burden so!
No hope lies in my flesh
To Him I now must go.

As for my God, His way is perfect
His Word has never failed the test.
His words of promise cheer me always
All my doubts I know confess.
Oh, He's a shield from Satan's fiery darts,
He will always be my stay.
I will never find a closer friend,
He's beside me all the way.

Where can I turn when friends reject my love,
And no one seems to care?
And all life's troubles come from every side
And strife is in the air?
My God's still on the throne.
His tender love He longs to share.
My hope is now in Him,
My burdens He helps bear!
