Things You Can Count On!

04 Mar 2011

There will always be a grace that is sufficient; a mercy that endures; an atoning blood that cleanses; a hope that doesn't disappoint; a love that never fails; a purpose that works all things together for the good; a peace that passes understanding; a joy unspeakable; a kingdom unshakable; a foundation indestructible; a High Priest who prays; a Savior who lives; a Spirit who comforts; a Father who cares.

Therefore, we who have fled to Him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us .This hope is a strong and trustworthy anchor for our souls. Hebrews 6:18-19 NLT

Great Quotes on Prayer

Roy Lessin

The Ministry of Prayer

"Prayer should be the breath of our breathing, the thought of our thinking, the soul of our feeling, and the life of our living, the sound of our hearing, the growth of our growing." Prayer in its magnitude is length without end, width without bounds, height without top, and depth without bottom. Illimitable in its breadth, exhaustless in height, fathomless in depths and infinite in extension.—HOMER W. HODGE

The Promises and Prayer

Every promise of Scripture is a writing of God, which may be pleaded before Him with this reasonable request: "Do as Thou hast said." The Creator will not cheat His creature who depends upon His truth; and, far more, the Heavenly Father will not break His word to His own child. "Remember the word unto Thy servant, on which Thou hast caused me to hope," is most prevalent pleading. It is a double argument: It is Thy Word, wilt Thou not keep it? Why hast Thou spoken of it if Thou wilt not make it good? Thou hast caused me to hope in it; wilt Thou disappoint the hope which Thou hast Thyself begotten in me?—C. H. SPURGEON

The Gideons International just posted a book review  on Sons From Afar. This book is an updated edition of the story of how my Jewish father, my brother Don, and I came to know Christ as Savior and Messiah. (Just click on "book reveiw" to go to Gideons)

I hope you will have time to visit the site. If you are not familiar with the ministry of the Gideons International, this link will introduce you to their ministry. Please continue to support and pray for the Gideons as they distribute the Word of God throughout the world.

The One Who Believes

Roy Lessin

NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]. Hebrews 11:1 AMP

The one who believes that God is in control can go through a day peacefully; the one who believes that God is worthy can go through a day worshipfully; the one who believes that God is good can go through a day thankfully; the one who believes that God is near can go through a day joyfully; the one who believes that God is love can go through a day devotedly; the one who believes that God is faithful can go through a day securely; the one who believes that God is almighty can go through a day victoriously.

I am not sure where it originated, but I recently came across a statement that, many years ago, had worked its way around the body of Christ. I pass it along today as a good reminder for us to keep our trust in the Lord.

"Good morning, this is your Father. I will be taking care of all your problems today, and I will be working all things together for good. I will not need your help. So, have a nice day."

I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me? Jeremiah 32:27 AMP

Fret buster #91

God did not give up on you when you didn't know Him, and He will certainly not give up on you now that you are His.

If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since He did not spare even His own Son but gave Him up for us all, won't He also give us everything else? Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for His own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with Himself. Romans 8:31-33 NLT

You Shall Not Want
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

To the lost sheep, He is the seeking Shepherd;
To the needy sheep, He is the providing Shepherd;
To the hurting sheep, He is the comforting Shepherd;
To the bruised sheep, He is the healing Shepherd;
To the anxious sheep, He is the peaceful Shepherd;
To the wandering sheep, He is the guiding Shepherd;
To the fearful sheep, He is the protecting Shepherd;
To all His sheep, He is the Good Shepherd.

In His Hands
Today every inner need you have can be perfectly met, not because you have the supply, but because God does.
No material possession can bring you true joy;
no human relationship can fill your heart with divine love;
no circumstance can provide you with God's peace.
The kingdom He has placed within us is the kingdom of everything that is right and good and necessary.

But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

-Roy Lessin, DaySpring co-founder and writer

The Measure


You are my portion, O Lord. Psalm 119:57 AMP

Let the grace of the Lord be the measure of your sufficiency; let the peace of the Lord be the measure of your quietness; let the power of the Lord be the measure of your strength; let the goodness of the Lord be the measure of your contentment; let the love of the Lord be the measure of your service; let the faithfulness of the Lord be the measure of your trust; let the beauty of the Lord be the measure of your worship; let the fullness of the Lord be the measure of your joy; let the sovereignty of the Lord be the measure of your confidence; let the promises of the Lord be the measure of your expectations; let the coming of the Lord be the measure of hope.

God Is

16 Mar 2011
Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11 AMP

God is all-wise and He does not pursue our advice; God is all-powerful and He does not need our aid; God is all-present and He does not seek our information. *But God is holy and He does long for our worship; God is faithful and He does ask for our trust; God is love and He does call for our obedience.

*John 4:23, Psalm 118:8, John 15:9-10

Great Quotes

The following three quotes are from Corrie Ten Boom...

Obedience is easy when you know you are being guided by a God who never makes mistakes.

Always when I say that I am not able, I get the same answer from the Lord. He says, "I know you can't. I have known it already a long time. I am glad now you know it for yourself, for now you can let Me do it."

It had become almost second nature not to make my plans and then ask for God's signature. Rather, I had learned to wait for God's plan and then write my name on the schedule.
