Not was, not may be, nor will be. "The LORD is my shepherd." He is on Sunday, on Monday and through every day of the week. He is in January, in December and every month of the year. He is when I'm at home and in China. He is during peace or war and in times of abundance or poverty. J. Hudson Taylor
HE will silently plan for you,
His object of omniscient care;
God Himself undertakes to be
Your Pilot through each subtle snare.
He WILL silently plan for you,
So certainly, He cannot fail!
Rest on the faithfulness of God,
In Him you surely will prevail.
He will SILENTLY plan for you
Some wonderful surprise of love.
No eyes has seen, no ear has heard,
But it is kept for you above.
He will silently PLAN for you
His purposes will all unfold;
Your tangled life will shine at last,
A masterpiece of skill untold.
He will silently plan FOR YOU,
Happy child of a Father's care,
As if no other claimed His love,
But you alone to Him were dear.
~E. Mary Grimes
Lately I have been trying to build up my study schedule...for my college classes, but mostly for my time in the Word. I find it very difficult to really dig in and study the Word in this house. It almost feels like a black hole or like the house is going to fall apart around me if I try...a spiritually dead place, which I guess it could be considering. One of the hardest things is that often times I will try to get some good deep studying in, but someone keeps coming and banging on my door to tell me to go do something (that apparently has to be done right that second) or the dogs start barking and break the silence right when I have a good thought. Ear plugs...I need to buy more ear plugs.
Remember that you are a light where ever you are and that you need to keep your light shining even with the intrusions into your study time. Right now it seems your mission field is right here at home.
