God's ways are so much higher than ours. We can't fathom His wisdom and knowledge and love for us. And I wouldn't want to! I want a God who is bigger than I am! The last verse is comforting to me, because I know I can trust Him to bring about His perfect plan. And that He is working all things to bring me more in conformity to His image - to fit me for Heven!

It is one of the paintings that was stolen from the Isabella Gardner museum 20+ years ago. I was fortunate enough to have seen it shortly before the theft occurred.<br /> What really strikes me about Cowper's poem, is that God's ways are many times hidden from us, and we do not understand them, but still we must have faith because he will bring about his intended purposes. Not always easy to do, life is so often made up of heartbreaking events, and that can be so hard to try and deal with. <br /> But as difficult as it is to keep faith that the Lord will bring good out of life's circumstances, I think is impossible to live this life without a belief and trust in him.<br />Linda JosephsonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10102628518857539414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382629264175127167.post-91804158609590039392016-03-14T10:07:56.904-04:002016-03-14T10:07:56.904-04:00The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and...The clouds ye so much dread<br />Are big with mercy and shall break<br />In blessings on your head.<br /><br />These verses reminded me of a personal word our pastor gave to Tim & me many years ago. He said that when we were surrounded by clouds, don't fear because it was just the dust from Jesus' feet as He goes ahead of us to prepare the way. I needed to be reminded of this today because I have been struggling with many things that my dear husband is no longer here to take care of for me. God is my husband now & He WILL provide all my needs!
