THE ROSE
 

  He who dwells in the shelter of the most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
  Psalm 91:1 NIV

It is only a tiny rosebud, a flower of God's design; But I cannot unfold the petals with these clumsy hands of mine.

The secret of unfolding flowers is not known to such as I, The flower God opens so sweetly, in my hands would fade and die.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud, this flower of God's design, Then how can I think I have wisdom to unfold this life of mine?

So I'll trust in Him for His leading each moment of everyday,

And I'll look to Him for His guidance each step of the pilgrim way.

For the pathway that lies before me my heavenly Father knows,

I'll trust Him to unfold the moment just as He unfolds the rose.

Father, thank you for unfolding my life the way You want. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
