We'll talk it over....

Tho' shadows deepen, and my heart bleeds
I will not question the way He leads;
This side of heaven we know in part
I will not question a broken heart.

Chorus:
We'll talk it over in the bye and bye.
We'll talk it over, my Lord and I.
I'll ask the reasons--he'll tell me why.
When we talk it over in the bye and bye.

Verse 2:
I'll trust His leading, He'll never fail,
Thru' darkest tunnels or misty vales;
Obey his bidding and faithful be
Tho' only one step ahead I see.

Verse 3:
I'll hide my heartache behind a smile
And wait for reasons till after while.
And tho He try me, I know I'll find
That all my burdens are silver lined.

An old but beautiful song!

To be Obedient

1 Samuel 15:22 “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed, better than the fat of rams.”
Here we see how upset Samuel was that Saul took matters into his own hands and not follow the right protocol, by choosing to not be obedient to God. This was the beginning of his fall. Had he had respect for God and their traditions and obeyed it, he would have been blessed.
