Have Faith in God

My mind continues to return to the concept of providence. Providence is the doctrine that teaches us about God's care for his creation and his people. It speaks of his provision and care. The hymn, "Have Faith in God," reminds us of God's care.

Have faith in God when your pathway is lonely,
He sees and knows all the way you have trod;
Never alone are the least of his children;
Have faith in God, have faith in God.

Have faith in God when your pray'rs are unanswered,
Your earnest plea he will never forget;
Wait on the Lord, trust his Word and be patient,
Have faith in God, he'll answer yet.

(Chorus)
Have faith in God, he's on his throne;
Have faith in God he watches o'er his own;
He cannot fail, he must prevail;
Have faith in God, have faith in God.

Have faith in God in your pain and your sorrow,
His heart is touched with your grief and despair;
Cast all you cares and your burdens upon him,
And leave them there, oh, leave them there.

Have faith in God tho all else fail about you;
Have faith in God, he provides for his own;
He cannot fail tho all kingdoms shall perish,
He rules, he reigns upon his throne.

I am comforted to know that the Reigning One is willing and able to provide for his own. May this hymn compel us to have faith in God. He is surely worthy.
