Let us Keep Refueling in the LORD


*
“God Moves in a Mysterious Way”

God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform: 
He plants His footsteps in the sea,  And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines of never-failing skill, 
He treasures up His bright designs, and works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; 
The clouds ye so much dread are big with mercy, 
and shall break in blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace;
 behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour: 
the bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err, and scan His work in vain; 
God is His own Interpreter, and He will make it plain.
-William Cowper

"...6Seek the Lord while He may be found;
Call upon Him while He is near.

7Let the wicked forsake his way
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return to the Lord,
And He will have compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.

8For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” 
declares the Lord.

9For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts..."

Good morning, Jill!

Love the posted Scripture and the title you gave this post. Keep refueling. It is a daily need. His faithfulness and mercies are new every morning for us. We have no need to fear in these troubling times. HE is all our hope and stay....Christ, the solid Rock!

Hope you are staying well. I’m trying to get caught up on some mending and sewing and planting😊. I think the Lord is calling His people to have clean hands and a pure heart. That’s why I daily needs go to Him!
Blessings to you!
