Let Come What May
“He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.” Psalm 91:4-6
I must spend too much time on Facebook. Some of my “friends” post some of the most horrific news of events that have happened, will happen, or might happen. I know they mean well and are trying to be the watchman on the tower; however, it’s enough to drive me to bed, pull the covers over my head, and cry out to God to “take me home now, please!” But alas, I am still here and God gently reminded me this morning of my favorite hymn from long ago:
I’m Living In His Love*
(Sung to the tune of “Danny Boy”)
He did not come to spare me
All the woes of life
Or bear me up
On flow’ry beds of ease
He does not shield my ears
From cries of pain and strife
Nor hide my eyes from scenes
That may displease
But sure am I His pow’r has form’d
This world I see
And stronger still
His mighty love for me
So without fear I’m living
In that love each day
My God will take me
Thru the storms
Let come what may
I cannot tell what lies beyond
The tow’ring range
Or what the distant valley holds for me
My pathways lead through lands
And waters cold and strange
Tomorrow comes but has no guarantee
But sure am I His pow’r has form’d
This world I see
And stronger still
His saving grace for me
So without fear I’m living
In God’s love each day
My God will take me thru the storms
Let come what may
I am so glad that God covers me with His feathers and that I don’t need to fear anything that comes my way. Aren’t you?
Thank You, God, that You will take me through the storms of life. Thank You that You have the power to restore all the enemy has stolen from mankind. I am still here, which means that You are not done with me yet. Please give me Your peace to make it through today, doing Your will. Let come what may. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Beautifully illustrated….and I would love to forward this to a dear friend, however, she gets over 500 e-mails (mostly junk) each day and most likely will not read it. Perhaps I should forward anyway, and when that day comes, it may just be the right time for her, as God’s timing is always perfect. For instance, I’m reading this on July 1st…
God Bless You…..
