God Will Take Care Of You

 Nahum 1:7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

This might be a good time to praise Almighty God for His goodness. 

In the day of trouble, we can run to Him and the hurts and horrors of life cannot follow us. It’s a safe place.

God knows His people. He knows your name. He knows where you are and what you face. He even knows how many hairs are on your head. 

Because He has saved us by His grace, that gives us hope in the day of trouble.

God Will Take Care Of You

________________________________

Be not dismayed whate’er betide,   —   God will take care of you;   —   Beneath His wings of love abide,   —   God will take care of you.

Chorus:

God will take care of you,   —   Through every day, o’er all the way;   —   He will take care of you,   —   God will take care of you.

Through days of toil when heart doth fail,   —   God will take care of you;   —   When dangers fierce your path assail,   —   God will take care of you.

All you may need He will provide,   —   God will take care of you;   —   Nothing you ask will be denied,   —   God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test,   —   God will take care of you;   —   Lean, weary one, upon His breast,   —   God will take care of you.

Civilla D. Martin 1904

Til The Storm Passes By

 Though the sun is shinning, we may feel like a storm is howling around us. 

Whether health, finances, loss of a loved one, fear,  discouragement or you name it; we each have or have had our own storm.

Thank God, we know who calms the storm. Believe it.

Psalm 107:29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Just as Jesus calmed the raging storm at the Sea of Galilee, He will keep us safe . . . .

Til The Storm Passes By

________________________________

In the dark of the midnight have I oft hid my face  —  While the storm howls above me and there's no hiding place  —  'Mid the crash of the thunder, Precious Lord, hear my cry,  —  Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Chorus:

Till the storm passes over,  —   till the thunder sounds no more  —  Till the clouds roll forever from the sky;  —  Hold me fast, let me stand in the hollow of Thy hand  —  Keep me safe till the storm passes by.

Many times Satan whispers, "There is no need to try.  —  For there's no end of sorrow, there's no hope by and by."  —  But I know Thou art with me, and tomorrow I'll rise  —  Where the storms never darken the skies.

When the long night has ended and the storms come no more,  —  

Let me stand in Thy presence on the bright peaceful shore  —  In that land where the tempest, never comes, Lord, may I  —  Dwell with Thee when the storm passes by.

One Day

 Hebrews 9:27-28 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: 

[28] So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Right now the heart of the child of God longs to see the Lord Who loved them and died to save them. 

One day that desire will be fulfilled and we will look upon His face. 

On that day, we will stand before our God and be accepted by Him because of what Jesus did for us when He died on the cross.

One Day

________________________________

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises,  —   One day when sin was as black as could be,  —   Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,  —   Dwelt among men, my example is He!

Chorus:

Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;  —   Buried, He carried my sins far away;  —   Rising, He justified freely   —   forever;  —   One day He’s coming—oh, glorious day!

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain,  —   One day they nailed Him to die on the tree;  —   Suffering anguish, despised and rejected:  —   Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!

One day they left Him alone in the garden,  —   One day He rested, from suffering free;  —   Angels came down o’er His tomb to keep vigil;  —  Hope of the hopeless, my Savior is He!

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer,  —   One day the stone rolled away from the door;  —   Then He arose, over death He had conquered;  —   Now is ascended, my Lord evermore!

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming,  —   One day the skies with His glories will shine;  —   Wonderful day, my beloved ones bringing;  —   Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!

Sweet Beulah Land

 John 14:1-3   Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 

[2] In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 

[3] And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

If you are saved, there is a place for you in the Father’s house.

Right now we are pilgrims and strangers passing through enemy territory in this ugly world. 

But there’s hope. It will be far better when we get home - greater than our feeble, human minds can comprehend, Rev. 21-22. 

Sweet Beulah Land

________________________________

I'm kind of homesick for a country   —   To which I've never been before.   —   No sad goodbyes will there be spoken   —   For time won't matter anymore.

Chorus:

Beulah Land, I'm longing for you   —   And some day on thee I'll stand.   —   There my home shall be eternal.   —   Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land.

I'm looking now across the river   —   Where my faith will end in sight.   —   There's just a few more days to labor.   —   Then I will take my heavenly flight.

No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus

The child of God who wants to please the Lord will learn to be humble and allow God to have the place or preeminence in his or her life, Col. 1:18.

1 Peter 5:6-7 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 

[7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Lay your burdens at the feet of Jesus and leave them there. 

One day after preaching at a gospel crusade, Charles Weigle came home to find a note from his wife. She did not like being an evangelist's wife and was leaving him.

The next few despairing years He even wondered if anyone

really cared for him. 

After a time, his faith was restored and he became active for the Lord again.

During this time he shared the feelings he had experienced In the Hymn:

"No One Ever Cared For Me Like Jesus."

________________________________

“I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus   —   Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true;   —   I would tell you how He changed my life completely   —   He did something that no other friend could do.

Chorus:
“No one ever cared for me like Jesus;   —   There's no other friend so kind as He;   —   No one else could take the sin and darkness from me   —   O how much He cared for me!

“All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me;   —   All my heart was full of misery and woe;   —   Jesus placed His strong and loving arms around me,   —   And He led me in the way I ought to go.

“Every day He comes to me with new assurance,   —   More and more I understand His words of love;   —   But I'll never know just why He came to save me,   —   Till some day I see His blessed face above.”

It Is Well With My Soul

If you want the peace of knowing Jesus personally and the assurance that you are going to Heaven, you can have it. 

You just need to believe that the blood of Jesus shed on the cross at Calvary was shed for your salvation, and that He rose from the tomb.   

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Ephesians 2:8-9  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

After suffering the loss of his children, Horatio Spafford wrote this beautiful hymn as a testament to the salvation he found in Jesus through the good and bad times in life.

“It is well with my soul”

___________________________

“When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,   —   When sorrows like sea billows roll;   —   Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,   —   It is well, it is well with my soul.

Chorus:

“It is well (it is well)   —   with my soul (with my soul),   —   It is well, it is well with my soul.

“Tho’ Satan should buffet, tho’ trials should come,   —   Let this blest assurance control,   —   That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,   —   And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

“My sin—O, the bliss of this glorious tho’t   —   My sin, not in part but the whole,   —   Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,   —   Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! 

“And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,   —   The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;   —   The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,   —   Even so, it is well with my soul.”

Just Over In The Glory Land

 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

The word “Tabernacle” refers to “a tent, or a temporary dwelling.”  It’s used as a metaphor for these human bodies, which are a temporary home for the soul.  

When this earthly life draws to a close and we lay down these temporary bodies, we have a new body and a new life awaiting us in Heaven, Rev. 21:4; 1 Cor. 15:49-58.  

Oh, the glories of that new body and new 

home.

Thank God for that confident hope.

“Just Over In The Glory Land”

___________________________

“I’ve a home prepared where the saints abide,   —  Just over in the glory land;   —  And I long to be by my Savior’s side,   — Just over in the glory land.

Chorus:

“Just over in the glory land   —  I’ll join the happy angel band,   —  Just over in the glory land;   —  Just over in the glory land,   —  There with the mighty host I’ll stand,   —  Just over in the glory land.

“I am on my way to those mansions fair,   —  Just over in the glory land;   —  There to sing God’s praise and His glory share,   —  Just over in the glory land.

“What a joyful thought that my Lord I’ll see,   —  Just over in the glory land;   —  And with kindred saved, there forever be,   —  Just over in the glory land.

“With the blood-washed throng I will shout and sing,   —  Just over in the glory land;   —  Glad hosannas to Christ, the Lord and King,   —  Just over in the glory land.”

James W. Acuff  1906
