Dear Lord; Happy Wednesday Father!
While doing some Internet research today Lord, I came across a poem that I’d like to share.
I finally got a chance to finish reading “90 Minutes in Heaven” by Rev. Don Piper last night. And while I found it an inspiring, hope-filled story, Reverend Piper’s account left me with far more questions than answers. What I did take away from it however, was a reminder that we’re not meant to understand why some things happen; that’s where our Faith comes in. You’re the One with the “Big Picture” Father, so in Your capable, loving hands is where we need to lay our trust.
And with that thought running through my mind Lord, when I found this poem today it just begged to be shared. It’s entitled “He Maketh No Mistake”, and was written by A.M. Overton:
My Father’s way may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache,
But in my soul I’m glad to know,
He maketh no mistake.
My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away,
But I’ll trust my Lord to lead
For He doth know the way.
Tho’ night be dark, and it may seem
That day will never break,
I’ll pin my faith, my all in Him,
He maketh no mistake.
There’s so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight’s far too dim;
But come what may, I’ll simply trust
And leave it all to Him.
For by and by the mist will lift
And plain it all He’ll make,
Through all the way, tho’ dark to me
He made not one mistake.
Amen.

Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
One of those ones that make me want to keep reading that poem over and over again.
Just knowing the ‘Big Picture’ is just to trust in him.
Thanks.
Thank you Dy! I agree completely. 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
Great reminder that although we might understand we can rest knowing that He is sovereign and always gets in right the first time. We have to choose to trust Him.
Amen Eileen… It’s so easy sometimes when we see what we perceive as chaos all around us to forget that God’s in control, and it all has a purpose in His Plan.
Have a Blessed Day!
He makes no mistakes…AMEN! Nothing is a surprise to Him. He sees the bigger picture. Love this!
Thank you Jenifer! 🙂
Have a Blessed Day!
Love this! “But come what may, I’ll simply trust and leave it all to Him.” Great poem, thanks for sharing. 🙂
It really got me as well Lisa… Thank you!
Have a Blessed Day!
A perfect prayer/poem to end my day with. Indeed, I cannot see the road ahead, but I rest in knowing that God can.

Thank you Elaine… So glad you enjoyed it! Even though our vision of the road ahead is very limited, God’s windshield is crystal clear!
Have a Blessed Day!
