Day 29
Lord, You speak to me in Your Word.
Yesterday I was done – but You were there.
Hast thou not known?
Hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not, neither is weary?
There is no searching of His understanding.
He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:28-31
Lord, You speak to me in the old hymns of the faith.
Oft-times the day seems long, our trials hard to bear,
We’re tempted to complain, to murmur and despair;
But Christ will soon appear to catch His Bride away,
All tears forever over in God’s eternal day.
—
Sometimes the sky looks dark with not a ray of light,
We’re tossed and driven on, no human help in sight;
But there is One on heav’n who knows our deepest care,
Let Jesus solve your problem – just go to Him in prayer.
—
Life’s day will soon be o’er, all storms forever past,
We’ll cross the great divide to glory, safe at last;
We’ll share the joys of heav’n – a harp, a home, a crown,
The tempter will be banished, we’ll lay our burden down.
Chorus
It will be worth it all when we see Jesus,
Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ;
One glimpse of His dear face
All sorrows will erase,
So bravely run the race
Till we see Christ,
-Esther K. Rusthoi
When I lift my heart, my head, my hands – and praise You, O Lord,
You give me a song!
There is nothing that pleases the Lord so much as praise.
There is no test of faith so true as the grace of thanksgiving.
Are you praising God enough?
Are you thanking Him for your actual blessings that are more than can be numbered,
and are you daring to praise Him even for those trials which are all but blessings in disguise?
Have you learned to praise Him in advance for the things that have not yet come?
“Thou waitest for deliverance! O soul, thou waitest long!
Believe that now deliverance doth wait for thee in song!
“Sigh not until deliverance thy fettered feet doth free:
With songs of great deliverance God now doth compass thee.”
-Streams In The Desert
