I Peter 5:5-7<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for ‘God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.’ Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Each day I receive many messages. Some of them are filled with pain and anguish because of the troubles they are going through. In many cases I feel totally inadequate in responding. I want to bring hope and comfort, yet at the same time I realize that God may very well choose to lead us through the painful experiences.<\/p>\n

Thinking back over the years of my life, I can vividly recall the difficult times, but for the most part, it is hard to call to mind the good times. I know they are there, but they just seem to melt into the background of my recollections. Now when I say that I recall the difficult times, it is not always with great joy. Sometimes it is with a pang of regret.<\/p>\n

Joyce and I were fortunate enough to attend a Christian high school. Strangely enough that was the name of our high school: Christian High School, in Nampa, Idaho. Fifty-five years ago, when we were seniors, our class chose a hymn that would be our special hymn. Please take time to read the words of this song. It was that wonderful hymn called: “God Will Take Care of You.”<\/p>\n

1. Be not dismayed whate\u2019er betide,
\nGod will take care of you;
\nBeneath His wings of love abide,
\nGod will take care of you.<\/p>\n

Refrain:
\nGod will take care of you,
\nThrough every day, o\u2019er all the way;
\nHe will take care of you,
\nGod will take care of you.<\/p>\n

2. Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
\nGod will take care of you;
\nWhen dangers fierce your path assail,
\nGod will take care of you.<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

3. All you may need He will provide,
\nGod will take care of you;
\nNothing you ask will be denied,
\nGod will take care of you.<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p>\n

4. No matter what may be the test,
\nGod will take care of you;
\nLean, weary one, upon His breast,
\nGod will take care of you.<\/p>\n

Refrain<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How true those words are! We have proved them over and over and no doubt will have the joy of proving them over again. No matter what frightening situation may be in your pathway, be assured that God will most certainly take care of you. It may not be in the way you were expecting it, but it will be in His timing and in His own way. Rest in His mighty arms–God will take care of you!<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Walk with God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing.<\/p>\n
