Been a hard week for the Krause family and some of my friends...this song by Sara Groves came to mind. The song is very beautiful and says what I feel so perfectly.
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
Morning by morning I wake up to find
The power and comfort of God’s hand in mine
Season by season I watch Him, amazed
In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful to me.
I can’t remember a trial or a pain
He did not recycle to bring me gain
I can’t remember one single regret
In serving God only, and trusting His hand
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful to me.
This is my anthem, this is my song
The theme of the stories I’ve heard for so long
God has been faithful, He will be again
His loving compassion, it knows no end
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful, He’s always been faithful
He’s always been faithful to me.
What a promise! God knows exactly what we need and His hand will provide for those needs. We can't see the big picture, but God knows exactly what His plan in our life is. I love the phrases, "Season by season, I watch him amazed. In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways" and "I can't remember a trial or a pain, He did not recycle to bring me gain". I know first hand the validity of these promises. God has "recycled" so many of my trials into such gains (reminds me of another favorite Sara Groves song "Less Like Scars").
Hoping you are all as blessed by the message of this song as I was.

Hey...I'm just reading this a week late and so sorry to hear it's been rough going. That song is so special to me because it comes on right after "going home" the song that meant so much to me (and my family) when my Dad passed away. Then when "he's always been faithful" came on it was such a promise of God's continued provision in whatever the storm. Good reminder to read those words tonight.
LOVE the new blog look--how'd you do that????!!!!!
