He Leadeth Me (William Bradbury and Joseph Gilmore)

Описание: In 1862, the midst of the American Civil War (1861-1865), a time of extreme confusion and chaos in a country divided, and a war that pitted brother against brother, and family against family, Joseph Gilmore wrote the lyrics to this meaningful song. He wrote later: “It was the darkest hour of the Civil War, and it may subconsciously have led me to realize that God’s leadership is the one significant fact in human experience; that it makes no difference how we are led, or whither we are led, so long as we are sure God is leading us…”

Obviously he was looking beyond the confusion all around and seeing into the future, knowing that Someone knew the final outcome, that this time of madness happening around him was going to come to an end, and that better times lay ahead.

Today, 156 years later, I do pray that you are able to look back over 2018 and see His faithfulness in leading you and yours through all you lived and went through; and that if you are still in the midst of personal troubled times, that like Joseph Gilmore you can recognize the eternal truth that HE IS LEADING, even whether you see it at this point or not or recognize His hand in the circumstances around you. May you and yours have a blessed 2019.
