“GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU”

A couple of weeks ago, we sang the hymn, “God Will Take Care Of You,” and, for what ever reason, that song came to mind again. Consider the words of the first two verses and the chorus:

(Verse 1) Be not dismayed whate'er betide, God will take care of you; beneath his wings of love abide, God will take care of you.

(Verse 2) Through days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you; when dangers fierce your path assail, God will take care of you.

(Chorus) God will take care of you, through every day, o'er all the way; he will take care of you, God will take care of you.

Though some of the words are not in our common vernacular, they are encouraging and lift our spirits. Songs like this are memorable and precious to many, but Scripture ought to be even more important and precious, as it is God’s Word - His revelation to us. Today, I encourage you to treasure up the following passages from God’s Word in your heart for those times you need it most.

It is the LORD who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed." (Deut. 31:8 ESV)

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7 ESV)

Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:6-7 ESV)

Though the road may not always be easy, please remember, God WILL take care of you!

In His grip,
