God Knows


It's comforting to know that God is ever mindful of His children. For every task, big or small, He provides the strength to accomplish it. It's so true that the Lord does not give us grace for our imaginations of tomorrow, but grants us enough for one day at a time. Knowing this truth helps me to become more and more dependent on Him. There is nothing better than to be completely dependent on God. If I need strength, I can be sure I will have it. That is the nature of the God we serve. Even when I am overwhelmed, He knows my path.


When my spirit was overwhelmed within me,
then Thou knewest my path. psalms 142:3

DO not yield to the temptation of looking at everything at once,
as if everything would happen at once,
and all the events of the day be crowded into an hour.
Do not thus forecast,
but take each thing as it comes to you,
and look upon it as the present expression of the will of God concerning you;
then regard the next in the same way,
and thus receive your day piece by piece
from Him who will remember always
when He gives you work to do,
that you need strength to do it.

…if you need more strength,
you will have it, be sure of that;
or the call to greater exertion may never come to you.
Your business is with the present;
leave the future in His hands
who will be sure to do the best,
the very best for you.
priscilla maurice
