"And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: And it came BETWEEN the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that one came not near the other all the night" (Exodus 14:19-2019And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them: 20And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night. (Exodus 14:19‑20)).
Between the circumstance and me
A Father's loving hand
Is working all things for my good—
All moves at His command.
Between the circumstance and me
A Father's loving heart
Knows all the problems of the path,
And bears a Father's part.
Between the circumstance and me
A Father's holy will
Is over-ruling everything
With wisdom and with skill.
Behold the Savior on the cross,
In deepest agony,
Who suffered to atone for sin,
In love for you and me.
The love that held Him to that cross
To suffer and to die,
That love remains the same today,
And hears His people's cry.
The power that raised Him from the dead,
That resurrection power,
Is working for His people's good,
Each moment and each hour.
O why be burdened then with care?
The love that set thee free,
Such love is evermore between
The circumstance and thee.
And when above the circumstance,
We see God's hand and ways,
It comfort, peace and blessing gives,
And cause for endless praise.
"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8:2828And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)).
