The Lord Will Provide

In some way or other, the Lord will provide:
It may not be my way,
It may not be thy way;
And yet, in His own way,
"The Lord will provide."
Then we'll trust in the Lord,
And He will provide;
Yes, we'll trust in the Lord,
And He will provide.
--Gospel Hymns #7

This verse was a recent reminder of an account told by a deceased elder brother about his grandmother. His grandparents lived in difficult financial times and had literally nothing to eat in the house one day. His grandmother went outside and kneeled to pray, asking God to provide for their needs. While she was praying, a rabbit hopped into her apron.

Yes, it may not be OUR WAY (the way we would choose), but the Lord WILL PROVIDE.
