Trust His Heart

All things work for our good
Though sometimes we can't see how they could
Troubles that break our hearts in two
Sometimes blind us to the truth
Our Father knows what's best for us
His ways are not our own
So when your pathway grows dim
And you just can't see Him
Remember He's still on the throne

God is too wise to be mistaken
God is too good to be unkind
So when you don't understand
WHen you don't see His plan
When you can't trace His hand
Trust His heart

He sees the master plan
He holds the future in His hand
Don't live as those who have no hope
All our hope is found in Him
We see the present clearly
He sees the first and last
And like a tapestry
He's weaving you and me
To someday be like Him

He alone is faithful and true
He alone knows what's best for you

"One thing I have desired of the Lord, that will I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. To behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock...
When you said, "Seek My face," My heart said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek."
...I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord." Psa 27: 4-5, 8, 13-14

When all seems to collapse around you what do you do? When your feelings are raging all around out of control what do you do?

Beneath the raging winds of emotions there yet lies a sea of calm. There is pain, but not despair. There is disappointment, but there is hope. There is sadness, but there is joy. Beneath it all shines that glimmer, that spark, that faint light, that tells you that it is all going to be okay. Yes, you may feel this and feel that, but the truth remains, that it is all going to be okay. That is the Holy Spirit speaking. And our God is in control. "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul..."

Hold fast to the promises of God's Word. Hold fast to what you know of Him and how He has worked in your life. Remember how He has always worked everything for good; remember how He has never let you down; remember how He has always been faithful, through your unfaithfulness and despair. We do not know what's best; He does. We are incapable of steering our lives in the right direction, but He has that power and is waiting to exercise it. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall make your paths straight..."

From If I Stand by Rich Mullins,

If I stand let me stand on the promise, that you will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
