Great is Thy Faithfulness

 Lamentations 3:22-23  It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 

[23] They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

God’s faithfulness is seen in the fact that we woke up this morning, in our right minds and in reasonable health.  

We woke up with air to breath, food to eat, people we love around us, etc.  

God is a faithful, wonderful Lord.

  

Great is Thy Faithfulness

___________________________

Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;   —   There is no shadow of turning with thee;   —   Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;   —   As thou hast been thou forever wilt be.

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!

Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,   —   Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above   —   Join with all nature in manifold witness   —   To thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. 

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth   —   Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,   —   Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow   —   Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

All The Way My Savior Leads Me

 Psalm 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

It was the time when I strayed from the Lord that in my misery I simply said, “Lord, how do I get back?”

Within a week He gloriously restored my soul. He was there all the time, waiting for me to turn to Him.

Every redeemed child of God enjoys an intimate, personal relationship with the Lord when we allow Him to lead us.  

   

All The Way My Savior Leads Me

___________________________

All the way my Savior leads me,    —    What have I to ask beside?    —    Can I doubt His tender mercy,    —    Who through life has been my Guide?    —    Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,    —    Here by faith in Him to dwell!    —    For I know, whate’er befall me,    —    Jesus doeth all things well;    —    For I know, whate’er befall me,    —    Jesus doeth all things well.

All the way my Savior leads me,    —  Cheers each winding path I tread,    —    Gives me grace for every trial,    —    Feeds me with the living Bread. — Though my weary steps may falter — And my soul athirst may be, — Gushing from the Rock before me, — Lo! A spring of joy I see; — Gushing from the Rock before me, — Lo! A spring of joy I see.

All the way my Savior leads me,    —    Oh, the fullness of His love!    —    Perfect rest to me is promised    —    In my Father’s house above. — When my spirit, clothed immortal, — Wings its flight to realms of day — This my song through endless ages: — Jesus led me all the way;    —    This my song through endless ages:    —    Jesus led me all the way.

Sheltered in The Arms of God

 Psalm 61:2-3 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. 

[3] For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

The good Lord invites us to come to Him Matt. 11:28, and has promised to hear us and help us when we do, Matt. 7:7-11; Phil. 4:6-7.

If I post the following song too often, it’s because it has gotten me through many hard places. 

Sheltered in The Arms of God

__________________________

I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender.   —   They're leading me in the paths that I must trod.   —   I'll have no fear for Jesus walks beside me,   —   For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

CHORUS:

So let the storm clouds rage high,   —   The dark clouds rise,   —   They don't bother me;   —   For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.   —   He walks with me, and naught of earth shall harm me, — For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

Soon I shall hear the call from heaven's portals,   —   “Come home my child, It's the last mile you must trod.”   —   I'll fall asleep and wake in God's sweet heaven,   —   For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

Meeting in The Air

 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 

[17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

The Lord sent an angel to announce His birth.

He sent an angel to announce His resurrection.

The Lord sent the Holy Spirit to convict us of sin and draw us to Jesus. 

But, when it comes time to collect His Bride, the Lord is coming “Himself”. 

We are going to a wedding in the air, Rev. 19:1-9. Sounds exciting to me!

Meeting in The Air

__________________________

You have heard of little Moses in the bulrush.    —   You have heard of fearless David and his sling.    —   You have heard the story told of dreaming Joseph    —   And of Jonah and the whale you often sing.    —   There are many, many others in the Bible.    —   I should like to meet them all I do declare.    —   By and by the Lord will surely let us meet them at that meeting in the air.

CHORUS

There’s going to be a meeting in the air in the sweet, sweet by and by.    —   I ‘m going to meet you, meet you over there in that home beyond the sky.    —   Such singing you will hear never heard by mortal ear, — Twill be glorious I do declare. — And God's own Son will be the leading one at that meeting in the air.

Many things will there be missing at that meeting.    —   For the mourners bench will have no place at all.    —   There will never be a sermon preached to sinners,    —    for the sinner had refused to heed the call.    —   There will be no mourning over wayward loved ones.    —   There will be no lonely nights of pleading prayer.    —   All our burdens and our anguish will be lifted at that meeting in the air.
