Read through the Bible in 2 Years: Mark 7.

Do you know how often I mess up in a day?

Let’s just look at just yesterday, a regular day in my life. To start off the day, I turned off my alarm and stayed in bed much later than I should’ve, then found myself hurrying through my time in the Word. At lunch I burned a small bowl of diced carrots in the microwave. Carrots? Yes, carrots. Who does that? Then, in the afternoon, I started cleaning out my office so my daughter could use it as her bedroom, but I got distracted and ended up spending two hours going through a tub of memorabilia that I found in the closet. In the evening, I was grumpy and short-tempered with my husband for no good reason at all. And I’m sure this list doesn’t cover a tenth of all the decidedly un-well things I thought, said, or did yesterday.

But God. God does ALL things well. All things. Well. He does all things WELL.

And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak.”

Mark 7:37 ESV

And because He does all things WELL, I have nothing to fear as I trust in Him.

He Maketh No Mistake

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 still 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.

– A.M. Overton, 1932 (More info here)

Heavenly Father, all Your ways are perfect and right and just and wise. I have nothing to fear for You are always with me, guiding me and helping me. Day after day, You lead me and take care of me for I am Your little lamb and You are my good shepherd. You do all things well. In the Name of Jesus Christ my Savior and Lord I pray. Amen.
