Good Morning
Luke 1:45-46
And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
“My words shall be fulfilled in their season”
(there fixed appointed time). –Greek Luke 1:20
There shall be a performance of those things
That loving heart hath waited long to see;
Those words shall be fulfilled to which she clings,
Because her God hath promised faithfully;
And, knowing Him, she ne’er can doubt His Word;
“He speaks and it is done.” The mighty Lord!
There shall be a performance of those things.
O burdened heart, rest ever in His care;
In quietness beneath His shadowing wings
Await the answer to thy longing prayer.
When thou hast “cast thy care,” the heart then sings,
There shall be a performance of those things.
There shall be a performance of those things,
O tired heat, believe and wait and pray;
At eventide the peaceful vesper rings,
Though cloud and rain and storm have filled the day.
Faith pierces through the mist of doubt that bars
The coming night sometimes, and finds the stars.
There shall be a performance of those things,
O trusting heart, the Lord to thee hath told;
Let Faith and Hope arise, and plume their wings,
And soar towards the sunrise clouds of gold;
The portals of the rosy dawn swing wide.
Revealing joys the darkening night did hide.

Job 23:14
For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
Psalm 57:2
I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.
Matthew Henry says: “We must depend upon the performance of the promise, when all the ways leading up to it are shut up. ‘For all the promises of God in him are yea (yes) and in him Amen (so be it), unto the glory of God by us.'” I Corinthians 1:20
“Cast thy care” . . .Today
