God hath not promised
skies always blue,
flower strewn pathways
all our lives through;
God hath not promised
sun without rain,
joy without sorrow,
peace without pain...
but God hath promised
strength for the day,
rest for the labor,
light for the way,
grace for the trials,
Help from above,
unfailing symphony,
undying love...
so so love these words...
many people seem to believe God has called them to live successful lives...when in fact...He calls each one of us to live faithful lives...lives of obedience...devotion...worship...and service...
with each day there often remains a residue of things left undone...unsaid...unachieved...or unconquered...each day has its own measure of failure...its own degree of trouble...and its own lingering doubts...
as we conduct a full review of our days...the bad as well as the good...let us reflect on the words above...
you may not have been as successful today as you would have liked...but every day you are faithful to the Lord is a success for Him...remember the things He has promised and that regardless of your performance today...as you give your whole heart to Him...He makes up the difference...
and i'm sure thankful for that!
