THE GUIDING HAND OF GOD

THE GUIDING HAND OF GOD


KNOWING where to go
With your life
Can be a DIFFICULT adventure


Sometimes life
Can be very lonely


LOOKING around-it seems like
EVERYONE else knows exactly
WHERE they are going


They seem so confident
In the choices they make-
WHERE did there doubt go?
The doubt that I am felling-or how do they
Get around the confusing periods of life?


“The Lord called me
From birth


From my mother's womb
He gave me my name” Isaiah 49:1


But I found God
ALONG the way


And finding God in the
DEEP dark recesses of my heart and soul
Has made ALL the difference
In my life


Finding-
THE GUIDING HAND OF GOD


“For this God
Is our God
FOREVER and ever


He will be our GUIDE
Even to the end” Psalm 48:14


“The Lord
Will GUIDE you always


He will satisfy
Your needs
In a sun-scorched land


And will strengthen
Your frame


You will be
A well-watered garden
Like a spring
Whose waters NEVER FAIL” Isaiah 58:11


You will NOT lose
Your step
ALL doubt will ease-
You will find CONFIDENCE-again
In the GUIDING HAND OF GOD


“But when he
The SPIRIT OF TRUTH comes
He will guide you
Into ALL THE truth” John 16:13


ONCE you find him
The HAND OF GOD
Is always there


GUIDING US-comforting us
Even when we go down
The wrong path


He brings us back-
To the PATH
The path he set us on-BEFORE birth


It is the path
That leads us
BACK TO GOD


No matter how far that we stray
And no matter how disconnected
We become from him


It is OUR BLESSED birthright
As HEIRS to God
And co-heirs to Christ


It is
The GUIDING HAND OF GOD
That brings us home


Dear Lord-help us to be
As patient with ourselves
As you are with us


As your plans for our life-UNFOLDS-
In Jesus' name-we pray
