He Will Stand By Me

I pray that these verses which reflected the cry of my heart as I passed through a dark time in my life a couple of years ago may be a comfort and assurance for you today.

Every time I knock Every time I come

Every time I seek at Your royal throne

Every time I ask with an honest prayer

I know You’re listening

I know You’re standing near

Every time I cry O Father I’m alone

I hear Your gentle voice singing out a song

So when the storm winds rise

And I face the raging sea

I will trust You Lord

That You will stand by me!

Hymn Sing

As I can’t get out to sing for my precious friends at nursing home I made this slightly less than professional hymn sing of some of the well loved songs from the past. I pray this may be a blessing for someone out there today (or tonight)

Counting Blessings

Some people from a church in Alabama were talking to me at the annual Strawberry festival here in Florida. They asked me if I could guess three things that God could not do. The first one I did get right because I knew that God can not lie; but the second I had forgotten which is that He also cannot change. That is what I was thinking of today with the recent stock market gyrations coupled with Corona virus hysteria gripping the world. But in the middle of it all the Greatest news of all is that Jesus Christ is the same Savior today that He was yesterday and that He has promised to be with us. In the book of first Thessalonians the Apostle Paul writes to the believers there and tells them that He is thankful for them. Even in the middle of the persecution and even beatings and imprisonments Paul points to the unchanging hope we have in our Lord Jesus Christ.
