February 3, 2013- Sunday
We reunited with the
other coworkers here in town for community. They greeted us with a package of
food items and maps for our town! So generous. We are a little limited in
resources for community here. We have no praise band or guitar, but instead we
have a few old hymnals one of the coworkers brought. Even with the minimal
resources we had, Father spoke to us in song today.
Day by Day
“Day by day, and
with each passing moment, Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my
Father’s wise bestowment, I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He, whose heart is
kind beyond all measure, gives unto each day what He deems best,
Lovingly its part of
pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest.
Every day the Father
Himself is near me, with a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counselor and Pow’r.
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counselor and Pow’r.
The protection of
His child and treasure is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,” this the pledge to me He made.
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,” this the pledge to me He made.
Help me then, in
every tribulation, so to trust thy promises, O Father, that I lose not faith’s
sweet consolation, offered me within thy holy Word. Help me Father when toil
and trouble meeting, E’er to take as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till with The Son I stand. “
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till with The Son I stand. “
