Don’t Look Back

Philippians 3:13-14

“No, dear brothers, I am still not all I should be, but I am bringing all my energies to bear on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God is calling us up to heaven because of what Christ Jesus did for us.”

DON’T LOOK BACK

Don’t look back, Oh don’t look back;

The past is gone away;

Keep walking forward on your path

With your mind on the present day.

Don’t look back, no, don’t look back;

The past is a bridge you’ve crossed;

The moment you stepped into today,

That bridge you crossed dissolved.

Oh, don’t look back, no, don’t look back,

Just keep your hand in Mine;

Today is a gift, My gift to you,

Your gift to Me is your life.

Oh don’t look back, no, don’t look back,

Just keep your eyes on Me;

We’ll walk each moment in My love

Till we reach eternity.

God’s Faithful Promises

May 17, 2014May 17, 2014 ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

Psalm 97:10
“Let those who love the Lord hate evil.
He guards the lives of those who are faithful to Him.
He saves them from the power of sinful people.”

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are our Guardian God and have promised in Psalm 121:8 that You will “guard my going out and my coming in from now until forever.”

You have promised in Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.”

Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, You promise in John 10:27 that we will be able to hear Thy voice: “My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me.”

Lord, You promise to give us “eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, who gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” (John 28-29)

Lord Jesus, You promised that You will never ever reject any soul that comes to You seeking help. (John 6:37) “Those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.”

Lord, Your word promises that even though we may have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, that You will be right there with us, you will never leave or forsake us.
(Psalm 23:4) Your word even says that we are engraved on the very palms of Thy hands! (Isaiah 49:16)

In the book of Zephaniah 3:17, Lord, Thy word says, “For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

Thank You, Lord, for such beautiful promises of Your love and protection.
May we ever thank and praise You for these eternal promises. For, Lord Jesus, You said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word will never pass away.”

Lord Jesus ,You are eternally faithful and keep every promise forever! Your last words to Your disciples before You ascended into Heaven were, (Matthew 28:20) “… I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Thank You, Lord, for Your abiding Presence, faithful love, and powerful protection always guarding us. May we trust You more and more as we put our faith and hope in Your holy word which cannot lie. We love You, Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

It Will All Work Out

It Will All Work Out
© 2014 S.D. Harden

The Lord is on His throne
He knows our every need,
The one who numbers all the stars
Rules over everything.

He hears our every prayer,
He bottles every tear,
He’s close to every broken heart,
He draws them very near.

He says that everything we see,
When all is said and done,
Will all work out for good somehow,
So we must trust His love.

God will make each sorrow,
A blessing we can trace,
In the fabric of our life,
When we see His face.

And we will thank Him for the things,
We now don’t understand;
For everything He gives to us,
Are blessings from His hand.

The Lord is in control,
He knows our every need,
He never will forsake His child,
His love will not deceive.

The Lord is in control,
The Lord is on His throne,
He who numbers all the stars,
Will not forsake His own.

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance in Your word that You are in control of all that happens in this world, and that this world is not our final home.
All that we now see is temporary and what we cannot see is eternal. Help us to see with eternal eyes, to know that whatever happens today is not going to really matter to us 100 years from now.
But You and what You think of us and what we did with the gift of our lives on this earth will matter very much to each of us who are reading these words 100 years from now.
Your word says that if we believe Jesus died for our sins, we will live forever with You in eternal paradise.
May you open our eyes to believe Your word, be filled with Your love and live forever with You.
Thank You, Lord, In Jesus’ name, amen.

Christ Prays For You

Hebrews 7:25
“Therefore Christ is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.”

Romans 8:34
“Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”

Thank You, Lord, For Praying…

Thank You, Christ, my Savior,
Though none may know my name,
You are up in Heaven, Lord,
And there for me You pray.
You know all of my needs,
You’re with me everywhere,
You love me more than I could know
And for me deeply care.

And every night and day
You’re praying for my needs,
You know them all, yes every one,
Not one can hide from Thee.
And when I sometimes fall
You come and help me stand;
You don’t condemn, you just forgive
And wash me clean again.

Oh Jesus, this I know,
Though none might for me pray
You are praying for me, Lord,
Yes, every night and day.
And I will thank You, Lord,
For You know all my cares,
And You are ever in control,
Who prays and hears our prayers.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
