God Moves in a Mysterious Way #88

[@tipsanders]

I remember this from 1992 when God, in His purpose and mercy, directed it to me after our only son, Samuel, took his life 3 weeks after his 19th birthday. It turned me again to the God and SAVIOUR who redeemed me in 1971 when I was 21. Studying the Scriptures over the years has brought me to a place of confidence and trust in this "GOD OF MERCY AND GRACE!" If people would only seek the Lord He will make Himself known.....He came to save the lost, not the religious who trust in themselves and religion. Bless His Holy Name!

[@juliebowers7864]

I’m sorry for your heartbreaking loss; what a blessing that you were able to turn to Almighty God for His never ending comfort and peace.

[@tipsanders]

And, on January 14 this year, my Sweet wife of almost 52 years, passed into our Saviours' presence after her battle with cancer..... she was the love of my life, married May 29, 1971.

​@@tipsanders "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. … Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Phil 4:4,6-7) Oh my brother, Don't be discouraged, I'm young, only 20 years old, but my hope must be the same as yours, even if much older in age. My hope is the Lord Jesus and the coming of Christ at any moment, please, Look at Him always.

[@hhholmes714]

I'm so sorry... That's terrible🙏🏼💔

[@heatherh4266]

As someone who has had loads of trials back in 2023, listening to this song again has brought me down to tears. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! And to all who are going through trials at the moment. Always pray to the Lord that you may be reminded of his unconditional love, his graciousness, and his generous mercy.

I found this video as I was contemplating how God works in mysterious ways after a severe heart attack that could have ended my life. Since then I have been able to share this hymn with scores of people. It is undoubtably one of His “bright designs” working out! People are greatly impressed by this hymn.

God lead me to this video just now after reading about the hymn writer in the devotional Our Daily Bread. What a blessing! The life transformation of William Cowper and John Newton is absolutely awesome! Only God through Jesus Christ can do that! “He brought me also up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock and established all my goings. Psalms 40:2

With all the storms and trials we, as Believers, go through, most of them turn out so much better than we hoped for or imagined. (Though we worry needlessly.) The only ones that don't are the ones where we turned away from God, & even those lead us back to Him, if we have eyes to see. God is the originator & propagator of Happy Endings. God is truly amazing. After 55 years of knowing Him, He's proved Himself time & time again as FAITHFUL & TRUE. His ways and thoughts are truly miles & miles higher than ours. Never give up. He's better than even we think! ❤

God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea And rides upon the storm. Deep in unfathomable mines Of never failing skill; He treasures up his bright designs, And works His sovereign will. Ye fearful saints fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face. His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding ev'ry hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flow'r. Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain

中文翻譯 Chinese lyrics 神用奧祕行動前來（上主作為何等奧祕） God moves in a mysterious way (1) 上主作為何等奧祕，行事偉大神奇；God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; 祂將腳踪印在滄海，駕馭狂風暴雨。He plants His footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm. (2) 深不可測，祂的心意，巧妙永不失敗；Deep in unfathomable mines of never failing skill 隱藏祂的智慧謀略，行祂主權旨意。He treasures up His bright designs and works His sov’reign will. [副歌] 求施恩憐憫的神，開我們眼睛God of mercy, God of grace! Give us eyes to see! 能以看見祢笑臉，隱藏在奧秘裡，隱藏在奧秘裡Eyes to see Your smiling face within the mystery. (3) 畏怯聖徒從此放心！我們所怕巫雲，Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread 其中深藏慈愛憐憫，化為恩雨降臨！Are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head. (4) 莫憑感覺臆測主愛，只要堅信祂恩；Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, but trust Him for His grace; 愁雲慘霧隱密之處，有主仁慈笑臉。Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. (5) 祂的計劃日漸成熟，正在步步拓展；His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour; 含苞之時難免苦澀，花開卻必芬芳。The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flow’r. (6) 盲目不信必致錯誤，細查未必領悟；Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan His work in vain; 但神自己洞悉一切，終必顯明帶領。God is His own interpreter, and He will make it plain.
