A Lesson In Faith
All things work for good they say,
To those that love the Lord;
But it seems we only say such things,
When we can well afford,
To look upon another's cares,
And shake our heads in pity,
And hope and pray that for his sake,
His trials won't be too many;
But let the Lord look down and say,
We must give something up,
Or say that we must pack and leave,
Or fail to brim our cup;
At times like this we may forget,
All our abundant treasure.
It may be hard to realize,
That it's not by our measure,
That He decides to give and take,
But according to His plan.
God will bless and He will keep,
His children in His hand.
"NOW THE LORD SAID UNTO ABRAM,'GET THEE OUT OF THY COUNTRY,AND FROM THY KINDRED AND FROM THY FATHER'S HOUSE UNTO A LAND THAT I WILL SHEW THEE.'
SO ABRAM DEPARTED AS THE LORD HAD SPOKEN UNTO HIM, AND ABRAM WAS SEVENTY AND FIVE YEARS OLD WHEN HE DEPARTED OUT OF HARAN."
Genesis 12:1-4
