Hymn for April ~ God Will Take Care Of You

April.  It's finally here.  I saw a quote on facebook that said March was the longest year ever.  Anyone else feel that way?  Well, April is here and I'm ready to put one foot in front of the other and make this a great month!  There will be some challenges along the way.  The stay at home order has been extended for 30 days because of COVID-19.  Many things will be different and difficult, so, I have been praying for the Lord to show me which hymn to pick for April.  I needed it to be one that would be a good reminder for me everyday.  I hadn't really been settled on which one to pick until Silas read a quote to me yesterday from the Book, Fight on, by Samuel C. Gipp.    It says:

He worked hard all of his life and became a multimillionaire.  Then, at 56 years old he lost it all...because of this he became suicidal....He even wrote a "Good-bye" letter to his family...Then one day he got up and heard someone singing "God Will Take Care Of You" and fell on his knees and trusted Christ as his Saviour.  We know him as J. C. Penney.

What a story!  And it is just the reminder I need this month!  God WILL take care of me!

Be not dismayed whate'er betide
God will take care of you
Beneath His wings of love abide
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through every day, o'er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you

No matter what may be the test
God will take care of you
Lean, weary one, upon His breast
God will take care of you

God will take care of you
Through every day, o'er all the way
He will take care of you
God will take care of you

He will take care of you
God will take care of you

I have created a playlist here on youtube if you would like to listen to this hymn.  I have been turning on the playlist most mornings and enjoy starting the day hearing the hymn for the month.

I am also going to be memorizing Luke 12:27-31

"Consider the lilies how they grow:  they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven;  how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?  And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.  For all these things do the nations of the world seek after;  and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.  But rather seek ye the kingdom of God;  and all these things shall be added unto you."

Don't get weary this month.  Don't let the cares of this world put a damper on your joy.  God will take care of you!
