Awaiting Your Providences

J.A. Matteson

To whom do I turn for guidance? In what do I place my hope? "But as for me, I trust in You, O LORD, I say "'You are my God'" (Ps. 31:14). The times and seasons of my life are in the hands of the LORD. Before there was yet a single day for me He knew of it beforehand. My hours and days are set before You as an architect, with precision You have accounted for my wanderings and have set the boundaries of my pursuits and habitations. Wonderful are your thoughts towards me and delightful are Your promises. Deliver me from foolishness and vain allegiance to idols. You are my sovereign, in You I have placed my trust and hope. As I consider what You have placed before me I marvel at Your wisdom. For what is man that He should attain to understand the incomprehensible ways of the LORD. Blessed are You, O God, forever wise and holy. Into Your love I enter, awaiting your providences that I might sing of Your praise and tell of Your wonders.
