Be not dismayed whate’er betide

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!
  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!
2
Through days of toil when heart doth fail,
  God will take care of you!
When dangers fierce your path assail,
  God will take care of you!
3
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!
4
Lonely and sad, from friends apart,
  God will take care of you!
He will give peace to your aching heart,
  God will take care of you!
5
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!

I learned this in Sunday school 70 years ago. Throughout the ups and downs of life, I always have felt it applies to me.

But what of people who have believed it and, for instance, ended in the gas ovens at Auschwitz... I doubt that their last thoughts were... "God is taking care of me"...

Ran across this during my Abiding Time this morning. Takes me back 70 years to my childhood and realized what a rich heritage I've had with these gems. This hymn spoke columns to me this morning. Out problem is not sin behaviors. It is the state of independence.

This beautiful hymn is my life story. God has taken care of me in every trial and every danger in life--scarcity of money, anxiety, stress, suicidal thoughts, illnesses, adjusting to a new country, job loss--everything!

I am standing on this promise once again. My hospital is closing and I have to make some choices. I know God is leading me in a path for healing ministry and I am going to be obedient.

God will take care of you, He will take care of You, through every day He will take care of you God will take care of you.

God has been taking care of us since we can remember. If He doesn't who else will? We would be in a most pitiful situation. He has to and He will for apart from Him we have no one, no one, no one at all anywhere in all the universe genuinely cares. But God does care. He has not once given up on us .
