He Keeps the Key

I seriously believe that my family holds the world's record for losing keys...then finding them...then losing them again...and so on, and so on...NOT NAMING ANY NAMES!!

The keys to the doorways in our future are held by God alone...

Aren’t you glad?

The devotion for January 10 in Streams of the Desert includes this poem:

Is there some problem

in your life to solve,

Some passage seeming full of mystery ?

God knows,

who brings the hidden things to light.

He keeps the key.

Is there some door closed

by the Father's hand

Which widely opened

you had hoped to see ?

Trust God and wait

for when He shuts the door

He keeps the key.

Is there some earnest prayer

unanswered yet,

Or answered NOT as you had

thought 'twould be ?

God will make clear

His purpose by and by.

He keeps the key.

Have patience with your God,

your patient God,

All wise,all knowing,

no long tarrier He,

And of the door

of all thy future life

He keeps the key.

Unfailing comfort,

sweet and blessed rest,

To know of every door

He keeps the key.

That He at last when

just He sees tis best,

Will give it thee.
