Fairest Lord Jesus - Maranatha Celtic

When I Survey The Wondrous Cross (Instrumental)

"But God, Who is rich in mercy...."  (Eph 2)

During a prayer time this afternoon, I had on my free Pandora music site.  The song below came on.  I stopped, and had an Isaac-"went-out-into-the-field-to-meditate" experience; no words, just palms up in worship.

"When I survey the wondrous Cross

On which the Prince of Glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

"We're the whole realm of nature mine,

That were a present far too small;

Live so amazing, so Divine

Demands my soul, my life, my all"!

"Just To Know...."

"Teach me Your Way, O Lord; I will walk in Your Truth; Unite my heart to fear Your Name." (Psalm 86:11)

Later on, David asks the Lord, "Show me a sign for good...."  Today I received one.

I was listening to my Pandora app this morning and the song came up, "Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus."  What a glorious song; what a glorious Savior is Jesus, the Christ.

"Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,

Just to take Him at His word,

Just to rest upon His promise, 

Just to know, 'Thus saith the Lord!'"

This last phrase really impacted me this morning, "Just to know, 'Thus saith the Lord!"

Is this, "Just to know," sufficient for you and me today?  With all the hundreds of thousands of books written for the Church Community, it really all comes back to this, "Just to take Him at His Word,..Just to know, 'Thus saith the Lord!"  Press on, Fellow Sojourner.  Jesus', "Thus saith," is sufficient for us.

"Jesus, Jesus, how I trust [You]!

How I've prove [You] o'er and o'er.

Jesus, Jesus, Precious Jesus!

Oh for grace to trust [You] more."  Amen.

When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"

Hebrews 12:2

“Him Who Rides Through The Deserts”

"Sing to God; sing praises to His Name; lift up a song to Him Who rides through the deserts, Whose Name is The Lord, and exult before Him."  (Psalm 68:4)

Sometimes I think that what catches my eye (and heart) may seem strange to others.  I must say, however, that many times the "ancient ways" and expressions put "it" best, e.g, "....Him Who rides through the deserts."  Our text is a glorious revelation of the Blessed Trinity.

Jesus never engages us with things "deep."  Someone once said of a Bible teacher, "He puts the cookies down where you can reach them."  Jesus is not out to make things difficult for you and me.  He Who constantly reminds us, "I Am the Bread of Life," is for us.  As His Word tells us, Jesus does, "all things well."

Father, in Jesus' Name, thank You for Your "reachable" Food.  Amen.
