“WHEN YOU CAN’T TRACE HIS HAND TRUST HIS HEART”

“WHEN YOU CAN’T TRACE HIS HAND TRUST HIS HEART”

“All things work for our good Though sometimes we don’t see how they could Struggles that break our hearts in two Sometimes blind us to the truth Our Father knows what’s best for us His ways are not our own So when your pathway grows dim And you just don’t see Him Remember you’re never alone. He sees the master plan And He holds our future in His hand so don’t live as those who have no hope All our hope is found in Him We see the present clearly But He sees the first and the last And like a tapestry He’s weaving you and me To someday be just like Him God is too wise to be mistaken God is too good to be unkind So when you don’t understand When you don’t see His plan WHEN YOU CAN’T TRACE HIS HAND TRUST HIS HEART” (Babbie Mason)

At times we try to follow Gods hand in determining what direction He’s leading. In our limited capacity to comprehend the things of God we figure we can move along with Him and his way of thinking, but then all of a sudden we don’t have a clue so we panic.

Maybe it is the death of a love one, or maybe being laid off of what you had considered the perfect job, or maybe your child is not the child you thought you had raised as a Christian but now has a mind of their own and that mind has nothing to do with the God you serve.

Or maybe you have been diagnose with cancer along with all the other trials in your life, God IT JUST ANT RIGHT. My friends we live under the umbrella of uncertainty each day but as a child of God, it is God’s hand and heart that guides us. In addition, I feel at times it is appropriate to fall on our knees and ask God what’s going on, WHERE IS YOUR HEART.

I also know you will not always get a answer but like the song tells us “LIKE A TAPESTRY HE’S WEAVING YOU AND ME TO SOMEDAY BE JUST LIKE HIM” by definition a TAPESTRY is a piece of fabric consisting of material that you bend or twist out of shape, upon which colored threads are woven by hand to produce a design.

Those bends and twist are each of the Trials we face each day but its all about shaping us into a design that is pleasing in His sight and one day with no reservations God can say these are my children and they are “safe to save” It is not the perfect life that prepares us for the kingdom of God.

On the contrary, it is the constraints and contentions, the mountains and valleys of despair that advance us in our Christian course while at the same time we continue to yield to the will of God without restriction and without choice.

For the only choice that has any meaning in a child of God’s life is the choice that we have made to serve God as we tread cheerfully every day in the path in which faith, Grace, love, mercy, humility, endurance and God’s Providence and where He leads.

Consistent with this, we have God’s assurance that He “will never leave us or forsake us”  we also know the hand of God is guiding our life as we continue to say Lord “not my will but thou will be done.” TRUST my friends allow your Faith to be stretched to the limit and with no reservation that God’s will and power is in control.

Remember our “Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 (NKJV)

So friends If you will keep your focus on God’s only begotten SON and what He went THROUGH ON THE CROSS to save His Children for in Joshua 1:9 (NKJV) it say’s  “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.” weather at night or day, in the storm or in sunshine and please never forget

“WHEN YOU CAN’T TRACE HIS HAND TRUST HIS HEART”

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
