Living by Faith

I care not today what the morrow may bring, If shadow or sunshine or rain, The Lord I know ruleth o'er everything, And all of my worries are vain.

Refrain:

Living by faith in Jesus above, Trusting, confiding in His great love; From all harm safe in His sheltering arm, I'm living by faith and feel no alarm.

Though tempests may blow and the storm clouds arise, Obscuring the brightness of life, I'm never alarmed at the overcast skies— The Master looks on at the strife.

I know that He safely will carry me through, No matter what evils betide; Why should I then care though the tempest may blow, if Jesus walks close to my side.

Our Lord will return for His loved ones some day, Our troubles will then all be o'er; The Master so gently will lead us away, Beyond that blest heavenly shore. the tempest may blow If Jesus walks close to my side.

The writer of Ecclesiastes wrote: be careful what you say to God!

Ecclesiastes 5:1-3

    Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil. Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few. For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words.

None of us on our own can perfectly keep his vows to God. Our Spirits are willing, but our flesh is weak. But we must mean what we say; we must intend to keep those promises, with God's help.

When we speak to Him, we ought to choose our words with care, because He holds us to the promises we make.

God hears everything we say.
