Who Is In Charge

Bear no grudge to anyone, nor fear man’s puny wrath Who makes the thunders roll, or quiet it’s rumbling sounds Who breathes the breath of life, or takes it with a word Who makes the winds to blow, or calms the troubled seas Who fed the children of Israel with manna, when from Egypt they did flee Who feeds the lilies of the fields, who give the birds their seeds Who fills the rain with nourishment, then on the fields they gentle fall Who makes the goats to bring forth kids and the sheep to have its kind Who makes a woman to have a child and a man the father of it be Who holds the seas to shore and the river banks from overflowing Who spreads the stars in space and holds the moon in its place Who gives earth an axis, so it can revolve around the sun Who made the sun to rule the day and the moon to shine by night Who was the light of day to wondering Israel and a flaming fire by night The Lord, strong and mighty in battle, the Lord of Host is He So let no one scare you into thinking, they have your life in hand Only the God of Heaven can say how and where you go When you put your trust in Him and your faith in Him is whole He the maker of us be and the keeper of our ways Bless the Lord for all His grace, in Heaven He prepares for us a place

Awesome, dear Joy! Amen! Only He has the power to give and take away, for Him and by Him, everything was made. Good to see you here today, even if just for a little while. I know that you'll be back in full swing shortly. Much love, Annalise

We need to remember this, Joy. People may try to intimidate us and make us feel as though they hold our lives in their hands, but only God decides how our life will go and by placing our faith in him, we can feel the blessings of his grace. Very nicely stated feelings. There is only one answer to all of the questions you pose. Love, Carolyn
