Hymn 46 proclaims, “God is my shelter, a consistently present assistance in difficult situation.”
There was once a youthful Swedish lady who, similar to the Psalmist, learned right off the bat in life to confide in the Ruler’s solidarity every day to assist her with beating her inconveniences and preliminaries. Her name was Carolina Sandell Berg, and she was brought into the world on this day, October 3, l832. She grew up to turn into Sweden’s most praised creator of Gospel psalms, and composed so many that she is frequently called “the Fanny Crosby of Sweden.”*
In the same way as other Christians, Carolina discovered that when agony and misfortune strike, God might utilize that experience to extend our confidence.
At the point when she was 26, Carolina-or Lina (articulated Untruth nah) as she got a kick out of the chance to be called-encountered a misfortune which significantly impacted the course of her life. She was with her dad, a Lutheran minister, crossing a Swedish lake.
Unexpectedly the boat swayed, and before her eyes, her dad was tossed over the edge and suffocated.
Lina had composed psalms previously, however presently she spilled out her wrecked heart in an unending stream of wonderful tunes. Her songs powerfully affected the restoration that cleared across Scandanavia after l850.
LYRICS
Day by day and with each passing moment,
Strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
Gives unto each day what He deems best–
Lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
Mingling toil with peace and rest.
Ev’ry day the Lord Himself is near me
With a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,
He whose name is Counselor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure
Is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As thy days, thy strength shall be in measure,”
This the pledge to me He made.
