There are times that I would feel anxious to see far down the road of my life and overly concerned about the next steps I'll be taking in fear of failure. Once caught in this situation, I will always pray to God and find comfort. There are times that He answers me with the books I read and this poems really touched my heart...
Dark is the sky! and veiled the unknown morrow!
Dark is life's way, for night is not yet o'er
The longed-for glimpse I may not meanwhile borrow;
But this I know and trust, HE GOES BEFORE
Dangers are near! and fear my mind are shaking;
Heart seems to dread what life may hold in store;
But I am His--He knows the way I'm taking
More Blessed even still- HE GOES BEFORE
Doubt's cast their weird, unwelcome shadows o'er me
Doubt's that life's best---life's choicest things are o'er
What but His Word can strengthen, can restore me,
And this blest fact--HE GOES BEFORE.
HE GOES BEFORE! Be this my consolation!
HE GOES BEFORE! On this my heart would dwell!
HE GOES BEFORE! This guarantees salvation!
HE GOES BEFORE! And therefore all is well.
-J. Damson Smith
Our good shepherd Jesus Christ always walked ahead of His sheep. He is in my tomorrow but it seems that tomorrows that fills people with fear....I take heart for
God is in every tomorrowTherefore I live for todayCertain at finding at sunrise,Guidance and strength for my way;Power for each moment of weaknessHope for each moment of painComfort for every sorrow,Sunshine and joy after rain
