Poem: Oh Thou of Little Faith
Welcome, 🙂
There are times when present troubles can make us forget past mercies. Fear settles in, the way ahead grows dim, and we lose sight of all the ways the Lord has faithfully carried us before.
This old poem is a gentle reminder to look back and remember. The God who led us then is the same God who holds us now. His faithfulness has not changed, His loving heart has not grown distant, and we can still commit our way into His hands.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
—Hebrews 13:8
O Thou of Little Faith
O Thou of little faith,
God hath not failed thee yet!
When all looks dark and gloomy,
Thou dost so soon forget—
Forget that He has led thee,
And gently cleared thy way;
On clouds has poured His sunshine,
And turned thy night to day.
And if He’s helped thee hitherto,
He will not fail thee now;
How it must wound His loving heart
To see thy anxious brow!
Oh! doubt not any longer,
To Him commit thy way,
Whom in the past thou trusted,
And is “just the same today.”
—Author Unknown
“Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.”
—Psalm 37:5
Pause and Reflect:
Is there a line or phrase that speaks to your heart right now? I’d love to hear from you. 🙂
