Plans

 

"I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "

plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope."

Jeremiah 29:11

 

We all plan and save for our future but things never turn out just like we pictured they would.  Something comes along that takes a huge chuck of our savings and then we start to worry will we have enough to live on in our golden age retirement days.

 

I have come to the conclusion that I don't need to worry.  All I need to do is turn everything over to God for He tells me in His Word not to worry.  I am to walk with Him daily, live one day at a time, making the best of each and every day for His glory.  I have no control over what happened yesterday for it is already gone and tomorrow is not here yet.  I am to live today, in the present, for it is a gift from God.

 

Trust Him with all those cares and trust in Him to get you through whatever storms come your way.

 

I Need Thee Every Hour

by Annie S. Hawks, 1872

 

I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;

No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.

 

I need Thee, O I need Thee;

Every hour I need Thee;

O bless me now, my Savior,

I come to Thee.

 

I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby;

Temptations lose their power when Thou are nigh.
