It is Sunday morning and I am not in church. I so miss all my friends there, but I still have this 'virus'. Is that what it is after two weeks? I am definitely learning the part where we can remain in His love and we can trust in His care when it doesn't seem obvious.
That reminds me of a song I learned in the days when I attended Prairie Bible Institute - LONG time ago - 1977! A man on staff sang it one Sunday morning and I have never forgotten it.
“I Will Trust When I Cannot See”J.W.P
When I cannot understand God’s leading,
When I do not know the reason why
He should choose the path that lies before me,
Still to Him in faith I can reply:
I will trust when I cannot see,
When I’m faced with adversity,
And believe Your will is always best for me–
I will trust when I cannot see.
When I feel the sting of disappointment
And my dreams lie crumbled in the dust,
When my best adds up to loss and failure
And the things that happen seem unjust:
I will trust when I cannot see,
When I’m faced with adversity,
And believe Your will is always best for me–
I will trust when I cannot see.
When I face the furnace of affliction
And the pain seems more than I can bear,
When I think it strange–this fiery trial–
Still I’ll tell my blessed Lord in prayer:
I will trust when I cannot see,
When I’m faced with adversity,
And believe Your will is always best for me–
I will trust when I cannot see.
Lest any of you think that I put my 'virus' in the category of 'furnace of affliction', I want to be sure to let you know - NOT! ;) It is the whole concept of trusting God when I cannot see what He's doing or when I cannot understand the reasons for what I'm going through - no matter how big or small.
I trust all of you have a wonderful day in the Lord! I pray that you will be touched by His presence in worship, in the teaching of His Word and in fellowship with each other! May you receive all that you need for the coming week and lots of extra to share with everyone you meet!
