BIBLE REFERENCE:
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. John 14:14
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear
it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh
patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you
lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let
him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his
ways. Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the
flower of the grass he shall pass away. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the
grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade
away in his ways. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of
life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. James 1:2-12
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he
any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath
conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no
variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind
of firstfruits of his creatures. James 1:13-18

HYMN HISTORY:
This popular hymn of spiritual encouragement was written, in 1904, by Mr. and Mrs. Stillman Martin. It was
composed while the Martins were spending several weeks as guest at the Practical Bible Training School at
Lestershire, New York, where Mr. Martin was involved in helping the president of the school, John A. Davis,
prepare a songbook. The Reverend W. Stillman Martin, a well-known Baptist evangelist, was invited to preach at
a church some distance from the Bible school. That Sunday morning, Mrs. Martin became suddenly ill, making it
impossible for her to accompany her husband to his preaching engagement. Mr. Martin seriously considered
cancelling his speaking assignment, since it would be needful for him to be gone from her for a considerable
time. Just then, however, their young son spoke up and said, “Father, don’t you think that if God wants you to
preach today, He will take care of Mother while you are away?” Agreeing, Mr. Martin kept his preaching
appointment, and the service proved to be unusually blessed of God, with several people professing Christ as
Savior as a result of the sermon.
Returning later that evening, Mr. Martin found his wife greatly improved in health, and while he was gone she
had, in fact, been busily engaged in preparing a new hymn text, inspired by the chance remark of their young
son earlier that day. That same evening, Stillman Martin composed the music for his wife’s words just as they
are still sung today. The next year, this hymn appeared in a collection, Songs of Redemption and Praise,
compiled for the school by W. S. Martin and President John Davis. “God Will Take Care of You” soon became a
favorite hymn of Christian people everywhere.
Civilla Durfee Martin was born on August 21, 1866, in Nova Scotia. She taught school and studied music for a
time before marrying Dr. Martin. Following their marriage, she traveled and aided him greatly in his ministry and
evangelistic campaigns. Together they collaborated in writing a number of gospel songs. Of this song, Civilla

"I was confined to a sick bed in a Bible school in Lestershire, New York. My husband was spending several
weeks at the school, making a songbook for the president of the school. “God Will Take Care of You” was
written one Sunday afternoon while my husband went to a preaching appointment. When he returned I
gave the words to him. He immediately sat down to his little Bilhorn organ and wrote the music. That
evening he and two of the teachers sang the completed song. It was then printed in the songbook he was
compiling for the school."

Mrs. Martin is also know for writing the popular, gospel song text “His Eye Is On the Sparrow,” in which she
collaborated with Charles Gabriel. Mrs. Martin died in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 9, 1948.
Walter Stillman Martin was born at Rowley, Essex County, Massachusetts, in 1862. After receiving his education
at Harvard University, he was ordained to the Baptist ministry. Dr. Martin became well known throughout the
country for his Bible conference and evangelistic ministries. In 1916, Mr. and Mrs. Martin became members of
the Disciples of Christ denomination, when he became a professor of Bible at the Atlantic Christian College in
North Carolina. After 1919, Mr. and Mrs. Martin made their home in Atlanta, Georgia, while continuing their
ministries until his home-going on December 16, 1935.
One of the lessons that any Christian leader soon realizes in ministering of God’s people is that all believers
need much encouragement and comfort from time to time. This hymn has been greatly used of God for this
purpose.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your
care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7
If you are suffering today with a burden that is too heavy for you to bear, wait on the Lord to deliver you for He
has not passed over you in His providence. God who is the feeder of sparrows, will also furnish you with what
you need. The Bible tells us in Psalms 46:10 “to be still and know that I am God.”
If you are being buffeted by Satanic forces in your life, Take up the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of
the devil and by your opposition God will ease your distresses.
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Ephesians 6:16
There is One who cares for you. God's eye is fixed on you, His heart beats with mercy towards you and His all
powerful hand will bring you the needed help you need. The darkest cloud shall rain on you showers of mercy.
The blackest gloom shall give place to the morning light.
God, if you are truly a Christian, will bind up your wounds, and heal your broken heart. Doubt not His grace
while you are being tested, but believe that He loves you as much in seasons of trouble as in times of
happiness.
What a victorious life you can lead if you submit to the providence of God! With a little oil in the cruse, and a
handful of meal in the barrel, Elijah outlived the famine, and God will do the same for you.
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he
spake by Elijah. 1 Kings 17:16
If God cares for you, why need you care too? Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body?
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your
care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7
