He will take care of you. ( Psalm 23)

 Often when preparing a word an old hymn comes flooding back to me,such was the case recently,I was  studying Psalm 37, a Psalm by David,it starts with these words,'Do not fret because of evildoers',the word fret has a meaning of anger , David was angry , displeased with wrongdoers.So what does he say we should do? bring God into the situation,God will deal with them. He also seeks to reassure the believers that God would look after them and provide for them and their families.Verse 25 reads,'I have been young and now I am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken , or his descendants  begging bread.So I return to that hymn that came flooding back to me,words by C.D.Martin.

                               Be not dismayed what'er betide ,God will take care of you!

                               Beneath His wings of love abide,God will take care of you!

                               Though days of toil when heart doth fail, God will take care of you!

                               All you may need He will provide,God will take care of you!

                               Trust Him,and you will be satisfied,God will take care of you!

                               Lonely or sad,from friends apart,God will take care of you!

                               He will give peace to your aching heart,God will take care of you!

                               No matter what may be the test,God will take care of you!

                               Lean weary on upon His breast,God will take care of you!
