Your perfect will in Your perfect way

“ Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God...”  (Ref. 2 Samuel  7:18-29)

 

Who am I that I should rely on my own wisdom (lack of) and think that I know better than the God who created everything? Who am I to consider my own dreams more worthy than God’s plan for Man?

 

“Your perfect will in Your perfect way” – may this be my daily prayer. Not a mindless mantra, but a complete submission of my heart, mind and soul.

 

The perfect wisdom of our God

 Revealed in all the universe:

 All things created by His hand

 And held together at His command.

 He knows the mysteries of the seas,

 The secrets of the stars are His;

 He guides the planets on their way

 And turns the earth through another day.

 

 The matchless wisdom of His ways

 That mark the path of righteousness;

 His word a lamp unto my feet,

 His Spirit teaching and guiding me.

 And O the mystery of the Cross,

 That God should suffer for the lost,

 So that the fool might shame the wise,

 And all the glory might go to Christ!

 

 O grant me wisdom from above,

 To pray for peace and cling to love,

 And teach me humbly to receive

 The sun and rain of Your sovereignty.

 Each strand of sorrow has a place

 Within this tapestry of grace;

 So through the trials I choose to say:

 "Your perfect will in Your perfect way."
