Before She Asked the Question - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Sometimes we wonder
at the providence of the Lord
the providing of our creator
seemingly out of the blue

But we should remember
even when we don’t understand
God knows us, even before we are created
from before the of creation
to after the end of time

What we think of as coincidence
is but a bit of God’s grace
answering our prayers
even before they are asked

God’s gifts, so loving, so complete
beyond our comprehension
meeting our every need
our day to day, our manna and quail
and special moments of grace

Matthew 7:11
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?”
