GOD OF MYSTERIES

November 5.                                      John ch 18-20

IN HIS OWN WAY AT HIS OWN TIME

1 God moves in a mysterious way

 His wonders to perform:

He plants His footsteps in the sea, 

And rides upon the storm.

2

 Deep in unfathomable mines

Of never-failing skill,

He treasures up His bright designs,

And works His sovereign will.

3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;

The clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break

In blessings on your head.

4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

But trust Him for His grace;

Behind a frowning providence

He hides a smiling face.

5 His purposes will ripen fast,

Unfolding every hour:

The bud may have a bitter taste,

But sweet will be the flower.

6

 Blind unbelief is sure to err,

And scan His work in vain;

God is His own Interpreter,

And He will make it plain.

GOOD DAY: God is a mystery that man cannot fully understand. Use this hymn to celebrate the mystery God of all mysteries. 

PRAY: Dear Lord, even when I do not understand Your ways, help me to trust Your love for me.
