He Rides Upon the Storm

Many people are being humbled by the weather we have been having. All of a sudden we have been overwhelmed by forces literally beyond our control. Faith in God is real in any and all circumstances of life. We may not understand everything that happens in life, but we keep trusting the Lord. There is no better path for us. God moves in a mysterious way.

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sov’reign will.
          Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
          The clouds ye so much dread
          Are big with mercy and shall break
          In blessings on your head.
                    Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
                    But trust Him for His grace;
                    Behind a frowning providence
                    He hides a smiling face.
                              His purposes will ripen fast,
                              Unfolding every hour;
         &nbsp                    The bud may have a bitter taste,
         &nbsp                    But sweet will be the flow’r.
                                        Blind unbelief is sure to err
                                        And scan His work in vain;
                                        God is His own interpreter,
                                        And He will make it plain.
