All the Way

I woke up this morning with the words of an old hymn running through my head:

"All the way my Savior leads me, what have I to ask beside?  Can I doubt His tender mercy, who thro'  life has been my guide?  Heavenly peace, divinest comfort, here by faith in Him to dwell!  For I know whate're befall me, Jesus doeth all things well!

All the way my Savior leads me, cheers each winding path I tread;  gives me grace for every trial, feeds me with the Living Bread; Tho' my weary steps may falter, and my soul athirst may be; Gushing from the Rock before me, lo a spring of joy I see!"

The Lord knew I needed to remember this and sing it and preach to myself today that He is always directing my steps, and He will provide for every need that I have!

It's a little scary to know that our church has found a new pastor, and we will be leaving this place after 22 years.  I followed my husband once before...like Sarah following Abraham, not knowing where they were going...but it was a little easier at 28 years instead of 58 years!  I am grateful today, however, for God and His Word!  It daily gives me encouragement and teaches me that I am to walk by faith in Him and not by what I can see!  It assures me that He will take care of me and that everything He does is working for my good!

On a lighter side, I read this verse today, "The Lord is gracious and compassionate; He has given food to those who fear Him!"   Psalm 111:4-5   I know, once again, that I will not have to eat beans or spaghetti everyday for the rest of my life!  Even if I do, He will be with me...He will never leave me or forsake me!
