Not One Mistake

Dear Lord; Happy Wednesday Father!

While doing some Internet research today Lord, I came across a poem that I’d like to share.

I finally got a chance to finish reading “90 Minutes in Heaven” by Rev. Don Piper last night.  And while I found it an inspiring, hope-filled story, Reverend Piper’s account left me with far more questions than answers.  What I did take away from it however, was a reminder that we’re not meant to understand why some things happen; that’s where our Faith comes in.  You’re the One with the “Big Picture” Father, so in Your capable, loving hands is where we need to lay our trust.

And with that thought running through my mind Lord, when I found this poem today it just begged to be shared.  It’s entitled “He Maketh No Mistake”, and was written by A.M. Overton:

My Father’s way may twist and turn,
My heart may throb and ache,
But in my soul I’m glad to know,
He maketh no mistake.

My cherished plans may go astray,
My hopes may fade away,
But I’ll trust my Lord to lead
For He doth know the way.

Tho’ night be dark, and it may seem
That day will never break,
I’ll pin my faith, my all in Him,
He maketh no mistake.

There’s so much now I cannot see,
My eyesight’s far too dim;
But come what may, I’ll simply trust
And leave it all to Him.

For by and by the mist will lift
And plain it all He’ll make,
Through all the way, tho’ dark to me
He made not one mistake.

Amen.
