No Matter What Today Will Bring

 

This poem 'pressed' to the forefront this morning instead

of the pursuit of another.

My prayer is that it will cheer and bless,

and help us as we keep our eyes fixed on a prize

that ought to challenge our motives daily!

No one knows what today will bring

but we do know on Whom we can cast all care

And ask Him to be our strength as we cheer each other on...

1 Pet.5:6-7

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,

 that He may exalt you in due time,

 7casting all your care upon Him, 

for He cares for you.

I had fully intended to incorporate these quirky quackers

into today's poem...

I am helping a friend with some gardening this week

and their ducks are an endless source of amusement and delight!

May we all find opportunity to be amazed and awed by

the beauty, diversity and wonders of God's creation!

May we be His hands and feet and pray that 

He helps us hunger and thirst for righteousness

so we may be filled 

And protected from a futile 'chasing of the wind'...

How great our God and King

How wonderful indeed

No matter what today will bring

He will supply our need

Oh, may we not forget

No circumstance can sway

The love and grace that paid the debt

Mortal could never pay

The hope of humankind

Is anchored in the Word

Of He who does not change His mind

His purpose undeterred

He keeps His promises

How wonderful to know

His justice, truth and righteousness

No one can overthrow

Then shout for joy, and sing

God, trustworthy and true

No matter what today will bring

Will care for me and you
