A Known God

"Jesus Christ the same

yesterday, and to day, and for ever."

 

~Hebrews 13:8~

 

 

Never be afraid to trust 

an unknown future to a known God.

~Corrie Ten Boom~

 

Peace

"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding,

shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

~Philippians 4:7~

The peace of God is that eternal calm which

lies far too deep down to be reached

by any external trouble or disturbance.

~Arthur T. Pierson~

Storm Security

"When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee;

and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:

when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned;

neither shall the flame kindle upon thee."

 

~Isaiah 43:2~

 

Jesus Christ is no security against storms,

but He is perfect security in storms.

He has never promised you an easy passage,

only a safe landing.

 

~L. B. Cowman~

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~

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~

More Than a Sparrow

"Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?

and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows."

~Matthew 10:29-31~

We sometimes fear to bring our troubles to God,

because they must seem so small to Him who

sits on the circle of the earth. But if they are

large enough to ... endanger our welfare,

they are large enough to touch His heart of love.

~R. A. Torrey~

Any and All

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise,

 as some men count slackness;

 but is longsuffering to us-ward,

not willing that any should perish,

but that all should come to repentance."

~2 Peter 3:9~

There is no one so lost that Jesus cannot find him and save him.

~Andrew Murray~

A Promise

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, 

whose mind is stayed on Thee; 

because he trusteth in Thee. 

Trust ye in the Lord forever: 

for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.”

~Isaiah 26:3-4

God writes with a pen that never blots,

speaks with a tongue that never slips,

and acts with a hand that never fails.

~Hubert van Zeller
