Woven by Wisdom

"And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant [literally, "wove"] it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive" (Genesis 50:19,20).

Every circumstance in life
For those who set on God their love,
Whether it be peace or strife,
Is ordered from His throne above.

It is so good to understand
The fabric of our circumstance
Is woven by our Savior's hand,
And never, never left to chance!

We are not in our God's place;
His thoughts and ways are so much higher!
He weaves together by His grace
The outcome of His heart's desire.

So with Joseph we'll look back
And see the wisdom in believing:
In all our days there was no lack
Of goodness that God's hand was weaving.
