"I rest in Thee...Trust in Thee...I place my life in Thy hands..."

"When you are joyful, be joyful; when you are sad, be sad. If God has given you a sweet cup, don’t make it bitter; and if He has given you a bitter cup, don’t try and make it sweet; take things as they come." 
Oswald Chambers in Shade of His Hand, 1226 L
As I read this statement this morning, I couldn't help but think of this song too.
I WILL FOLLOW

By Mac Lynch

I will follow Thee, my Savior, where-e’er the pathway may go:

Through the storm or through the valley or through great trials so low.

I rest in Thee, trust in Thee, I place my life in Thy hands.

I will follow Thee, my Savior; Lead on, my Shepherd, lead on.


I will live for Thee, my Savior, Tho’ war and strife mark the way.

I’m so weak, but Thou art mighty, so live through me day by day.

I rest in Thee, trust in Thee, I place my life in Thy hands.

I will follow Thee, my Savior; Lead on, my Shepherd, lead on.


I surrender all, my Savior, I hold no thing back from Thee;

Every part is Thine to use, Lord, Thy living sacrifice be.

I rest in Thee, trust in Thee, I place my life in Thy hands.

I will follow Thee, my Savior; Lead on, my Shepherd, lead on

I am thankful for the sweet rest that God gives His children.  How many times a day do I "pick up my thoughts and ways" to work out the plans just so...when God wants to work out His thoughts and ways with His plan.  When I am truly at rest...I will keep my hands out!  In Matthew 11, Jesus is teaching two men that John had sent to Him and He ends with verse 28-29, "Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light."
Jesus tells me who to learn from, what will happen, and how I will be treated.  Why would I not go to Him?  And why would I question Him?
