springs in the valley.

here's a poem from yesterday's entry in Springs in the Valley by Mrs Charles Cowman:

God is not in a hurry, dear!
    The work He chose for you
Can wait, if He is giving you another
    task to do,
Or, if He call you from your work
    to quietness and rest,
Be sure that in the silence
    you may do His bidding best.

You cannot be a joy to Him,
    if thus with frown and fret
You turn at each new call of His,
    to find new lessons set.
The old familiar tasks were dear,
    and ordered by His hand;
But come and tread another way:
    it is as He has planned.

And yesterday He led you there;
    and now He wants you here;
And what shall be tomorrow's work,
    tomorrow shall make clear.
So patiently and faithfully let each
    day's course be run;
God is not in a hurry, dear,
    His work will all be done.

-Edith Hickman Divall.

There must be a Selah!
