A new day is upon us; what waits, we do not know
Only the One who grants it can see where it will go
Then, with this sweet assurance that He will lead the way
We ought not to proceed, love, before we pause to pray
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged,
for the LORD your God will be with you
wherever you go."
An Important Truth to learn and remember
whether we are very young or very old...
We don’t know what the day will bring
Before its fling is through
We don’t what we’ll lose or win
But Lord, you do
We don’t always love like we should
Or use time’s gifted due
To work toward the greater good
But Lord, you do
We don’t have what it takes to earn
Eternal life, it’s true
Or open Heaven’s gates in turn
But Lord, you do

Deut.6:5-8
and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.
Talk about them when you sit at home
and when you walk along the road,
when you lie down and when you get up.
8Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
