THINGS JUST DON'T HAPPEN

Things don't just happen to us who love God,

They're planned by His own dear hand.

Then moulded and shaped, and timed by His clock,

Things don't just happen, they're planned.

We just don't guess on the issues of life

We Christians just rest in our Lord.

We are directed by His sovereign will,

In the light of His Holy Word.

We who love Jesus are walking by faith,

Not seeing one step that's ahead.

Not doubting one moment what our lot may be.

But looking to Jesus, instead.

We praise our dear Saviour for loving us so,

For planning each care of our life.

Then giving us faith to trust Him for all,

The blessings, as well as the strife.

Things don't just happen to us who love God,

To us that have taken our stand,

No matter the lot, the course, or the price,

Things just don't happen, they're planned.

~Esther L. Fields

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose."  ~Romans 8:28
