LORD, I know that none of us are in charge of our own destiny; none of us have control over our own life ... O LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself; It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps. O LORD, correct me, but with justice; Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to nothing ... I know, O LORD, that a man’s life is not his own; it is not for man to direct his steps. Correct me, LORD ...
Jer.10:23,24 (TEV,NKJV,NIV)

Correcting the Frame

1. "Call them. Find out what is happening."
2. "Call them. Find out what the Lord doth do."

The point is this: That God sends ev’rything!
Why speak, then, from a human point of view?
Lo, nothing ever happens of itself!
God’s will - God’s hand - controls the earthly scheme
as here He forms His Children for Himself.
To not see thus is to live in a dream!

O Lord, correct my frame of reference!
Enable me to see what is unseen:
to have Thy view, else nothing here makes sense.
From man ... chance ... probability ... pray wean
my view! Thou rule! O, let me see Thy Face
and walk with Thee, whilst I dwell in this place ...
