There is an Old Testament scripture that has often given me comfort.
Jeremiah 17:14:
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be HEALED; save me, and I shall be SAVED: for thou art my praise.
My Savior unto Thee
[Sung to the tune of “My Country ‘tis of Thee”]
My Savior unto thee,
Give I my heart to free,
To thee I cling.
Lord who for me has died,
Pierced ‘twas his wounded side.
Ever in him abide.
Of thee I sing.
Out from the Darkness and into the Light
Have you a master who saves from each plight?
Come out from the darkness and into the light.
Do you have hope in the black of the night?
Come out from the darkness and into the light.
Are you encased in a deep, deadly fright?
Come out from the darkness and into the light.
Can you find answers to do what is right?
Come out from the darkness and into the light.
I am able to live and write and think because God gave me a body and a mind. My parents had a lot to do with me being here. It is THROUGH their relationship with each other that I was conceived and born. When I got born AGAIN years later, it was THROUGH all that Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior did for me. Let’s look at what we have THROUGH CHRIST in some of the New Testament uses of this idea.
As tomorrow America celebrates 250 years, let’s give thanks to God our Father for all the riches we have as a nation, in Christ.
Satan and his host of evil spirits ARE ALREADY DEFEATED.
Sherry and I were talking about three super important things to remember today! WE HAVE Christ’s peace, Christ’s word, and our Lord’s name! That gives us THE VICTORY each day.
God’s joy and gladness is for us today.
Theodore Tilton, an American poet and newspaper editor, lived from 1835 –1907. Tilton is famous for a poem he wrote at the age of 23, called “The King’s Ring.” It includes the line, “Even this shall pass away” at the end of each of its seven stanzas. The following poem follows his rhyme scheme and focuses on some uses of the phrase “It is written” in the New Testament.
