Dear Lord; Happy Wednesday Father!<\/p>\n
While doing some Internet research today Lord, I came across a poem that I\u2019d like to share.<\/p>\n
I finally got a chance to finish reading \u201c90 Minutes in Heaven\u201d<\/em><\/a> by Rev. Don Piper<\/a> last night.\u00a0 And while I found it an inspiring, hope-filled story, Reverend Piper\u2019s account left me with far more questions than answers.\u00a0 What I did take away from it however, was a reminder that we\u2019re not meant to understand why some things happen; that\u2019s where our Faith comes in<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 You\u2019re the One with the \u201cBig Picture\u201d<\/em> Father, so in Your capable, loving hands is where we need to lay our trust.<\/p>\n And with that thought running through my mind Lord, when I found this poem today it just begged to be shared.\u00a0 It\u2019s entitled \u201cHe Maketh No Mistake\u201d<\/em>, and was written by A.M. Overton:<\/p>\n My Father\u2019s way may twist and turn, My cherished plans may go astray, Tho\u2019 night be dark, and it may seem There\u2019s so much now I cannot see, For by and by the mist will lift Amen.<\/p>\n ~Phather Phil<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Lord; Happy Wednesday Father!

\nMy heart may throb and ache,
\nBut in my soul I\u2019m glad to know,
\nHe maketh no mistake.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMy hopes may fade away,
\nBut I\u2019ll trust my Lord to lead
\nFor He doth know the way.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nThat day will never break,
\nI\u2019ll pin my faith, my all in Him,
\nHe maketh no mistake.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nMy eyesight\u2019s far too dim;
\nBut come what may, I\u2019ll simply trust
\nAnd leave it all to Him.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAnd plain it all He\u2019ll make,
\nThrough all the way, tho\u2019 dark to me
\nHe made not one mistake.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
