My Hand in God's Hand 1/21


(by Florence Scripps Kellogg)
Each morning when I wake, I say, 
"I place my hand in God's today!" 
I know He'll walk close by my side 
my every wandering step to guide.
He leads me with the tenderest care 
when paths are dark and I despair, 
no need for me to understand 
if I but hold fast to His Hand.
My hand in His! No surer way 
to walk in safety through each day. 
By His great bounty I am fed! 
Warmed by His love, and comforted.
When at day's end I seek my rest 
and realize how much I am blessed, 
My thanks pour out to Him, and then 
I place my hand in God's again.

My Comments: I wish I could say that I am faithful at giving God my life every day, for the whole day. I tend to start out well, but it doesn’t take long for me to run ahead or lag behind His leading. Then I have to run back to His tender care to meet the needs I face.
