comfort


So, I decided to go play the piano, since it was freshly tuned TODAY! (Oh, joy). And received comfort from an old hymn, "Day By Day"...

"Day by day and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here.
Trusting in my Father's wise bestowment,
I've no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best--
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest."

The next verse contains the phrase,
"The protection of His child and treasure
is a charge that on Himself He laid."

So while I do not understand this failure or frustration, I will surrender to God's kind heart and trust that He is protecting me from something that I do not yet see.
