Streams in the Desert February 8 Daily Devotional

Lo, I am with you all the appointed days (Matt. 28:20, Variorum Version).
Do not look forward to the changes and chances of this life in
fear. Rather look at them with full hope that as they arise, God,
whose you are, will deliver you out of them. He has kept you
hitherto; do you but hold fast to His dear hand, and He win lead you safely through all things; and when you cannot stand, He win bear you in His arms.
Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow. ne same

everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow, and every day. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it Be at peace,
then, put aside all anxious thoughts and imaginations. Frances de Sales.
The Lord is my shepherd.
Not was, not may be, nor will be. "The Lord is my shepherd," is on Sunday, is on Monday, and is through every day of the week; is in January, is in December, and every month of the year, is at home, and is in China; is in peace, and, is in war; in abundance, and in
penury.--J. Hudson Taylor.
HE will silently plan for thee,
Object thou of omniscient care;
God Himself undertakes to be
Thy Pilot through each subtle snare.
He WILL silently plan for thee, So certainly, He cannot fail!
Rest on the faithfulness of God, In Him thou surely shalt prevail.
He will SILENTLY plan for thee Some wonderful surprise of love.
Eye hath not seen, nor ear hath heard, But it is kept for thee above.
He will silently PLAN for thee, His purposes shall all unfold;
The tangled skein shall shine at last, A masterpiece of skill untold.
He will silently plan FOR THEE,
Happy child of a Father's care,
As thou no other claimed His love, But thou alone to Him wert dear. --E. Mary Grimes.
Whatever our faith says God is, He will be.
