His Unfailing Presence

As some of you may know, I am one of the part time secretary's at a church here in town and I love what I do. I love designing publications, creating powerpoint presentations for the services, etc. I like to be creative and "play" around on a computer as my job; it can be quite fun! One of the things I like to do is find neat poems, quotes, clip art, etc. and it usually ends up encouraging ME instead of just encouraging others. One of those was a poem I used yesterday. It was titled: His Unfailing Presence. I have a lot of things on my heart and mind for 2009 and it's almost like a clean slate where I am asking God to write out the plan. I am anxious to see what He's got in store. This poem was just perfect with how I'm feeling about it all. Have a read.


His Unfailing Presence
Another year I enter
Its history unknown;
Oh, how my feet would tremble
To tread its paths alone!
But I have heard a whisper,
I know I shall be blest;
"My presence shall go with thee,
And I will give thee rest."

What will the New Year bring me?
I may not, must not know;
Will it be love and rapture,
Or loneliness and woe?

Hush! Hush! I hear His whisper;
I surely shall be blest;
"My presence shall go with thee,
And I will give thee rest."

Pretty simple, I know. But pretty encouraging to know He will be there through everything 2009 brings and that I shouldn't worry about it all. I was reading Philippians 4:6 today, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." This should be my life verse!!
