God Will Take Care of You
(NRSV) Isaiah 41:10 do not fear, for I am with you,
do not be afraid, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my victorious right hand.
I awoke this morning singing the old hymn “God Will Take Care of You,” an old gospel song that I remember being popularized in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s by gospel quartets.
Little Rock had their own quartet in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s, The Venable Quartet, who had a daily TV show and I seem to recall them singing this song, but admittedly my memory has grown somewhat dull so it could be I am not remembering accurately. But there is one thing I hope I never forget, and that is God’s love and protection over His children.
There are many scriptures assuring us of God’s love and care for us. If you are going through hardships of any kind, I encourage you to seek out relief in God’s Word. The more we read about God, the more we understand His nature and His character. When we steep ourselves in the Scriptures we come to the knowledge that God really does care for us and will never leave us without hope.
1 Be not dismayed whate’er betide,
God will take care of you;
Beneath his wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.
Refrain:
God will take care of you,
Through ev’ry day,
O’er all the way;
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen
