God’s Provision

“And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

When you hear the names Rodgers and Hart, what comes to mind? What about Rodgers and Hammerstein? Richard Rodgers’ first partner was Lorenz Hart. These two men enjoyed tremendous popularity while writing songs for 23 musicals on Broadway and 18 films in Hollywood. Lorenz Hart died prematurely in 1943, and Rodgers was left without a partner. The future seemed less promising than the past, but a partnership with Oscar Hammerstein eventually proved to be much more successful than that of Rodgers and Hart. Rodgers and Hammerstein became inseparable friends and created unforgettable classics like Oklahoma, The Sound of Music, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and Cinderella. When the past seems to offer more than the future, remember God can cause all things to work together for good.

Remember - you can’t see the stars until it gets dark.
