I Awoke This
Morning
by
Barbara Philbrook
I awoke this
morning wondering what the new day would bring,
would I see sunshine, would I hear the birds sing?
I wondered if
there were trials I would have to face,
I wondered if everything in my life was in place.
I wondered what
new adventure the Lord had in store,
which once again made me thankful I'd opened my heart's
door.
I wonder each
morning for a moment or two,
but then I am reminded of a fact that is very true.
Wondering isn't
necessary my day is already planned,
I just have to place myself in the Master's hand.
My Heavenly
Father knew what today would be,
and what's it's outcome before my parents ever thought of
me.
He knew the way
I'd live and the choices I'd make,
and that I would be grateful that Jesus died for my sake.
He knows my
heart better even than I,
He even is aware of when and how I will die.
Every aspect of
my life is open to Him,
whether it be filled with obedience or corrupted by sin.
No, since
wondering my life away,
I'll just surrender it to God each and every
day.
