Be Not Dismayed

When you sit down and start speaking with people, so many of them have difficult stories to tell. Adversity visits each and every one of us from time to time.

Hudson Taylor is someone who comes to mind. He established China Inland Mission in the mid-1800s. Over his long career, he suffered ill health, survived two rebellions and several typhoons, endured the death of both of his wives and many of his children, and yet God took care of him and used him in a mighty way.

        Be not dismayed whate'er betide,   God will take care of you;   beneath his wings of love abide,   God will take care of you.  Refrain:  God will take care of you,   through every day, o'er all the way;   he will take care of you,   God will take care of you.  2. Through days of toil when heart doth fail,   God will take care of you;   when dangers fierce your path assail,   God will take care of you.  

Refrain:  God will take care of you,   through every day, o'er all the way;   he will take care of you,   God will take care of you.

Perhaps there is someone you know today who is faced with a difficult trial. Perhaps that someone is you. Do you feel like no one cares? Is anyone there for you? The answer is yes! There is!

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 3:16

The Israelites were facing a seemingly insurmountable problem - defeating the Canaanites. Yet God told them he would take care of them.

Much as we love our children, we don't take perfect care of them. There are times we fail. God never does. His loving eye never leaves us. We are forever under his watch-care. What a beautiful, comforting thought in the midst of the worst trial.

All you may need he will provide,   God will take care of you;   nothing you ask will be denied,   God will take care of you.  
Refrain:  God will take care of you,   through every day, o'er all the way;   he will take care of you,   God will take care of you.   4. No matter what may be the test,   God will take care of you;  lean, weary one, upon his breast,   God will take care of you.  
Refrain:  God will take care of you,   through every day, o'er all the way;   he will take care of you,   God will take care of you.
