Stronghold

"The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;

and He knoweth them that trust in Him."

~Nahum 1:7~

If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear.

His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open

to our prayer - His grace sufficient,

His promise unchangeable.

~John Newton~

The Unchangeable

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

~Hebrews 13:8~

Our feelings do not affect God's facts.

They may blow up, like clouds, and cover the

eternal things that we do most truly believe.

We may not see the shining of the promises -

but they still shine! [His strength] is not for

one moment less because of our human weakness.

~Amy Carmichael~

Pathways

"But He knoweth the way that I take:

when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."

~Job 23:10~

God has not promised skies always blue,

flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;

God has not promised sun without rain,

joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God has promised strength for the day,

rest for the labor, light for the way,

grace for the trials, help from above,

unfailing sympathy, undying love.

~Annie Johnson Flint~

Follow On

"Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.

Lead me in thy truth, and teach me:

for thou art the God of my salvation;

on thee do I wait all the day."

~Psalms 25:4-5~

 

Living a life of faith means never knowing

where you are being led. But it does mean

loving and knowing the One who is leading.

It is literally a life of faith... a life of knowing

Him who calls us to go.

~Oswald Chambers~
