Waiting

I thought this song was appropriate for the times in which we are in. I suggest getting the movie "Fireproof" too. It is inspiring and hopeful. Enjoy the song and video.

Be Still

Ps 46:10

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."

The existance of God is evident in the world around us. The perfection in creation sings out God's presense. Enjoy the beauty around you. God has given it to us. He is an artist.

No matter how crazy this world gets, when it all boils down to the end, what will matter most is your relationship with Jesus Christ and seeing that souls are saved. Step into God's work. Shine the beauty of salvation to this lost world.

Matthew 5:16

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."

Graceful

Romans 5:1-8

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Grace

Graceful hands lent in view
stretching, solemnly toward you.
Needful prayers full of want
at heaven's door do I haunt.

Graceful hands extend to me
dripping stains upon a tree.
Saving grace fills my soul
blending, molding, making whole.

Graceful hands carry me through
gently, silently toward you;
Wiping tears from my eyes--
grateful hands receive the prize.

Winter Uplifting

As of today there are 46 days left until Spring. I flipped the page in my calendar and read the verse for the month of February. So here it is:

Psalm 5:11-12

"But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield."

What a blessing to hear especially in the days and times in which we are now living! The world is becoming more and more hostile toward Christians. Jesus told us that the world would despise us.

Matthew 10:22

"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved."

Endure to the very end. Don't compromise on the truth or on God's word. God does not change and he does not compromise with sin. Be watchful, for many try to disguise themselves in the winds of change and unity, but if that change and unity requires a compromise against God's word and truth --it is not of God.

Mt 24:9-13

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."

It is hard to go against what society tells you is "acceptable" but society does not write what truth is, God does. Maintain, endure to the end dear ones.
