Another "Accidental" Occurance

Or not...........

The last verse of this hymn was one thing the Lord brought to mind in my Quiet Time this morning.

Do you think it was an accident that my freind Amy requested this hymn at our Bible Study this morning?

Our hymnal has over 600 hymns in it. The math alone, makes it seem that an accident in this case, is impossible.

Through my choked up throat, I sang of "consolation" that comes only from trusting His word.

Need I remind you, this type of thing has happened to me twice in the last week & a half! God is quietly reminding me that He is at work.

When has the Lord done something like that for you? I would love to hear about it, as these types of stories are so encouraging!

"Day by Day"

Day by day, and with each passing moment,

Strength I find, to meet my trials here;

Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,

I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.

He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure

Gives unto each day what He deems best—

Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,

Mingling toil with peace and rest.

Every day, the Lord Himself is near me

With a special mercy for each hour;

All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,

He Whose Name is Counselor and Pow’r.

The protection of His child and treasure

Is a charge that on Himself He laid;

“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”

This the pledge to me He made.

Help me then in every tribulation

So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,

That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation

Offered me within Thy holy Word.

Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,

E’er to take, as from a father’s hand,

One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,

Till I reach the promised land.
