Sometimes we so easily forget
How unpredictable our lives may be
We make plans for our tomorrows and our futures
Not realizing they could change instantly.
Then one day, you wake up, and it happens
Something occurs that's not at all like you've planned,
Your life has now taken a new direction
And it may be difficult for you to understand.
God never promised that we'd never have struggles
That there would always be sunshine and not rain
But He said He'd never leave nor forsake us
And with His presence we will forever be sustained
When God takes us from the height of the mountain,
And then places us in the valley of despair
It's here we can learn total dependence
Upon the One who will always be there
Oftentimes it's only through the midst of the trials
We see God works in ways we'd never have dreamed
He accomplishes so much beyond our understanding
And now things may not be at all what they'd seemed
We may not know why God allowed such a hardship
We must learn to trust in the One who knows best
For our future is seen by Him only,
And in Him we can confidently rest.
So when the unexpected may arise in our lifetime
And the way God is leading seems dim
May we face it not ONE DAY at a time
But instead, MOMENT BY MOMENT with Him
