Friday Morning Prayer:). November 5, 2015
November 5, 2015 - 6 minutes readAll 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.[1]
“Exhalt the Lord our God and worship at his footstool; he is holy.”[2]
“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.”[3]
Beloved!
Be ye encouraged! I need encouragement to keep me pursuing our holy God. I find it through the Scriptures! In Christ, you know this truth! Our most holy God has not left us alone. We search the Scriptures to know Him better, intimately, with ever increasing assurance. He abides, indwells and we can sing with Joy… “All the way my Savior leads me…”
Through heartache and overwhelming trials in this life we echo with the psalmist, “For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”[4]
Today, I needed to read and take in the inspired Words, “Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.” I am His! You too! We be In Christ! :). Therefore, we can sing, “For I know, whate’er befall me, Jesus doeth all things well;” Find comfort and encouragement today through the inspired Word, and the hymns of old that reflect never ending truth to keep us pursuing our Holy, Holy, Holy God.
Indeed! “I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how He could love me, A sinner, condemned, unclean. For me it was in the garden He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine.” He had no tears for His own griefs, But sweat drops of blood for mine.”[1]
“He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own; He bore the burden to Calv’ry, And suffered and died alone.”[6] Therefore, we sing!
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more![7]
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.
Yes! Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee! How great thou art! How great thou art!
