We reunited with the other coworkers here in town for community. They greeted us with a package of food items and maps for our town! So generous. We are a little limited in resources for community here. We have no praise band or guitar, but instead we have a few old hymnals one of the coworkers brought. Even with the minimal resources we had, Father spoke to us in song today.
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 forfear.
He, whose heart is kind beyond all measure, gives unto each day what Hedeems best,
Lovingly its part of pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest.
Every day the Father Himself is near me, with a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear and cheer me, He whose name is Counselor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,” this the pledge to me He made.
Help me then, in every tribulation, so to trust thy promises, O Father, that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation, offered me within thy holy Word. Help me Father when toil and trouble meeting, E’er to take as from a father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till with The Son I stand. “
