In HIS Hands

I waited patiently for the Lord to help me,

and He turned to me and heard my cry.

HE lifted me...
HE set my feet on solid ground

and steadied me as I walked along.

HE has given me a new song to sing,

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see what HE has done and be astounded.

They will put their trust in the Lord.

Yesterday, my wise brother and I were discussing my future health and its impact on their lives.  I was telling him that I feel guilty - bad - sad that if my health doesn't get any better, it will put a lot of pressure on them.  First Kevin reminded me (not his exact words as he can state things better than I can) that our loving God is in control of my health, my life, my situation, etc.  He's right there with me.  Then he told me something that was a new thought:  the Lord may take them - my brother and sister-in-law - on a new journey too.  Their journey is also in His hands.  Dah!!!  That gave me such peace.   

Oh, the joys of those who trust the LORD...

My only hope is in Your unfailing love and faithfulness.
