God Is Our Source

I’ve been reminded of a favorite verse from “Before the Throne of God Above” …

“When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upwards I look and see Him there
Who made an end to all my sin.
For the sinless Savior died
That my sinful soul may be counted free.
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.”

You can change those first two lines to…

“When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the negatives circumstances around me…”

We still need to keep looking up to God for…

“Though Satan should buffet
Though trials should come,
Let this blessed assurance control
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate
And has shed His own blood for my soul.”
(From “It Is Well With My Soul”)

May you not waver in believing God’s promise. In fact, let your faith grow stronger, and in this bring glory to God. May you be fully convinced that God is able to do whatever He promises. Amen (from Rom 4:20-21)

 

Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget not all His benefits.

Someone Else

Our church was saddened to learn this week of the death of one of our most valued members, Someone Else. Someone’s passing creates a vacancy that will be difficult to fill. Else has been with us for many years and for every one of those years, Someone did far more than a normal person’s share of the work.

Whenever there was a job to do, a class to teach, or a meeting to attend, one name was on everyone’s list, “Let Someone Else do it.” Whenever leadership was mentioned, this wonderful person was looked to for inspiration as well as results; “Someone Else can work with that group.”

It was common knowledge that Someone Else was among the most liberal givers in our church. Whenever there was a financial need, everyone just assumed Someone Else would make up the difference.

Someone Else was a wonderful person; sometimes appearing superhuman. Were the truth known, everybody expected too much of Someone Else. Now Someone Else is gone! We wonder what we are going to do.

Someone Else left a wonderful example to follow, but who is going to follow it? Who is going to do the things Someone Else did?

When you are asked to help in your local church this year, remember — they can’t depend on Someone Else anymore. Many hands make little work!

Prayer: Father let me be someone you can count on and not someone else. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!

Happy Valentines Day

As Your share greetings with loved ones today remember that You are loved by God.
 
• But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved…. (Ephesians 2:4-5)
 
• For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
 
• See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. (1 John 3:1)
 
• I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you and continued My faithfulness to you. (Jeremiah 31:3)
 
• In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
(1 John 4:10)
 
• But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
 
• For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39)
 
And there are so much more for you in God’s Word, the Bible.

The Holy Alphabet

The Holy Alphabet

Although things are not perfect

Because of trial or pain

Continue in thanksgiving

Do not begin to blame.

Even when the times are hard

Fierce winds are bound to blow

God is forever able

Hold on to what you know.

Imagine life without His love

Joy would cease to be,

Keep thanking Him for all the things

Love imparts to thee.

Move out of “Camp Complaining”

No weapon that is known

On earth can yield the power

Praise can do alone.

Quit looking at the future

Redeem the time at hand

Start every day with worship

To “thank” is a command.

Until we see Him coming

Victorious in the sky

We’ll run the race with gratitude

Xalting God Most High.

Yes, there’ll be good times and yes some will be bad, but…

Zion waits in glory…where none are ever sad!
