Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
The above are two stanzas from one of my favorite hymns "Be Still My Soul." Although I can't get into too much detail of what's going on with us right now, I can testify that God is SOVEREIGN!
Below is a snip-it of an article from Spurgeon that my pastor shared with me:
"He can overrule my trials in such a way that out of confusion he will bring order; and from seeming evil, produce lasting good. He who bridles the storm, and puts the bit in the mouth of the tempest, surely he can restrain my trial, and keep my sorrows in subjection."

Only a heart that has been captured by Christ could these words be believed wholeheartedly. What an encouraging post to remind us of our faithful Father and to never lose hope. Thank you for this!
A lovely hymn. "Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end." Amen.
