God Is There Beside You!

The thunder is rolling in
And the lightning strikes at your heart
Don't worry, don't give up
God is there beside you.

You feel like your all alone
And this journey is so long
Don't worry, don't give up
God is there beside you.

He has a shield around you,
He will protect you,
He is your best friend,
Lean on Him.
So don't worry, don't give up
He is there beside you!

Hymn of Encouragment

I love this verse of this Hymn Great Is Thy Faithfulness.

3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, 

    Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide,

    Strength for TODAY and bright hope for TOMORROW 

    Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Chorus:

    Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!

    Morning by morning new mercies I see.

    All I have needed Thy hand hath provided.

    Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me.

Words by: Thomas O. Chisholm

'Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus

1. '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."


3. Yes 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
    Just from sin and self to cease,
    Just from Jesus simply taking Life and rest,
    and joy and peace.


4. I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee,
    Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
    And I know that Thou art with me,
    Wilt be with me to the end!


Chorus:
    Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
    How I've proved Him o'er and o'er!
    Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
    O for grace to trust Him more!

Words from "God Calling"

I read these words in my devotional book called God Calling and they were really encouraging to me and I hope they are to you too!


Know Me

"I am here. Seek not to know the future. Mercifully I veil it from you. Faith is too priceless a possession to be sacrificed in order to purchase knowledge. But Faith itself is based on a knowledge of Me. So remember that this evening time is not to learn the future, not to receive revelation of the Unseen, but to gain an intimate knowledge of Me which will teach you all things and be the very foundation of your faith."

                                                                   Wonders Will Unfold

"I am with you. Do not Fear. Never doubt My Love and Power. Your heights of success will be won by the daily persistent doing of what I have said. Daily, steady drops of water, so will your daily persistence wear away all the difficulties and gain success for you, and secure your help for others. Never falter, go forward so boldly, so unafraid. I am beside you to help and strengthen you. Wonders have unfolded. More still will unfold, beyond your dreams, beyond your hopes. Say "All is well" to everything. All is well!"

God Calling by: A. J. Russell 

                                 

Purpose

"We all possess the thunder of pure fury and the calm breeze of tranquility.  If it wasn't for tomorrow, how much would we get done today?  Whatever your purpose... embrace it completely.  Get lost in the clouds every now and then so you never lose sight of God's wonder."  ~Paul Vitale

Joke to Lighten the Day!

Church Bulletin Bloopers:

~"For those of you who have children and don’t know it, we have a nursery downstairs."

~"The outreach committee has enlisted 25 visitors to make calls on people who are not afflicted with any church."

~"The audience is asked to remain seated until the end of the recession."

~"Low Self-Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7 to 8:30 p.m. Please use the back door."

~"Anointing of the sick ... If you are going to be hospitalized for an operation, contact the pastor. Special prayer also for those who are seriously sick by request."

~"The third verse of Blessed Assurance will be sung without musical accomplishment."

~The sermon title this morning: WOMEN IN THE CHURCH
   The closing song: RISE UP, O MEN OF GOD

~The sermon this morning: CONTEMPORARY ISSUES # 3 ... EUTHANASIA
   The closing song: TAKE MY LIFE

~The sermon this morning: GOSSIP ... THE SPEAKING OF EVIL
   The closing song: I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY
 


I hope this has given you a little laughter in the middle of your busy day!

He Knows!

He saw the storm before it came, He knew what pain it would cause you,
But He wants you to know that He will never leave you or forsake you!
Some trials may be hard to take,
Decisions may crowd your mind,
Some people may get in the way.
Don't fear if your on God's side.
Keep walking and hold on to His hand,
He will make it clear to you which way you should take!

1 Peter 5:7

This verse has encouraged me many times and I hope it encourages you also!

 1 Peter 5:7 (Amplified Bible)

Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.

Hang in there!

"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."  ~Harriet Beecher Stowe

Trust God!

God made the sun, the stars, the sea. He also made you and me. He has the whole universe under his rule but we think that our problems are to big for Him to control. Let go of the fear, the doubt, and the misery of yesterday. Trust God and hold on to His unchanging word for He knows what is best for us today!
