Day 36

To whom then would ye liken Me, or shall I be equal?

Saith the Holy One.

Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things,

that bringeth out their host be number:

He called them all by names by the greatness of His might,

for that He is strong in power;

not one faileth.

Isaiah 40:25-26

Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord; that walketh in His ways.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house:

thy children like olive plants  round about thy table.

Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

The Lord shall bless thee out of Zion:

and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

Yea, thou shalt see thy children’s children, and peace upon Israel.

Psalm 128

The only way to learn strong faith is to endure great trials.

I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testing.

-George Mueller

The time to trust is when all else fails.

“Be not afraid, only believe.”

And if you are afraid, just look up and say,

“What time I am afraid I will trust in Thee.”

And you will yet thank God for the school of sorrow which was to you the school of faith.

-A.B. Simpson

-Streams In The Desert

GOD IS MY REFUGE

Near the Cross, a trembling soul,

Love and mercy found me;

There the Bright and Morning Star

Shed His beams around me.

Near the Cross! I’ll watch and wait,

Hoping, trusting ever,

Till I reach the golden strand,

Just beyond the river.

In the Cross, in the Cross,

Be my glory ever,

Till my raptured soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

-Fanny J. Crosby









My Journey Through The Dark Valley – Day 23

Day 23

I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice;

and He gave ear unto me.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord:

my sore ran in the night, and ceased not:

my soul refused to be comforted.

I remembered God, and was troubled:

I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed.

Selah

Thou holdest mine eyes waking:

I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

I call to remembrance my song in the night:

I commune with mine own heart:

and my spirit made diligent search.

Will the Lord cast off forever?

And will He be favorable no more?

Is His mercy clean gone forever?

Doth His promise fail for evermore?

Hath God forgotten to be gracious?

Hath He in anger shut up His tender mercies?

Selah

And I said,

This is my infirmity:

but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most high.

I will remember the works of the Lord:

surely I will remember Thy wonders of old.

I will meditate also of all Thy work, and talk of Thy doings.

Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary:

who is so great a God as our God?

Thou art the God that doest wonders:

Thou hast declared Thy strength among Thy people.

Thou hast with Thine arm redeemed Thy people,

the sons of Jacob and Joseph.

Selah

The waters saw Thee, O God, the waters saw Thee;

they were afraid:

 the depths also were troubled.

The clouds poured out water:

the skies sent out a sound:

Thine arrows also went abroad.

The voice of Thy thunder was in the heaven:

 the lightnings lightened the world:

the earth trembled and shook.

Thy way is in the sea,

and Thy path in the great waters,

and Thy footsteps are not known.

Thou leddest Thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Psalm 77

“I call to remembrance my song in the night,”

Lord, I thank You for the songs You give me.

Just the right message at just the right time!
