Praise The Lord For Christian Mothers

By: Connie Faust

Praise the Lord for Christian Mothers!

God has trusted to their care

little children, precious children,

for His kingdom to prepare.

Sometimes sweet and sometimes frightening

is this awesome task they bear,

but, praise God, He is beside them,

and He hears each mother’s prayer.

Gracious Father, Lord of Heaven,

Thank You for each precious life!

Each a challenge, each a privilege;

Help me show them love, not strife.

Help me stern be when it’s needed;

Tell me when to speak so mild.

Make me worthy, dearest Father,

to be mother of a child.

Gift of God, bestowed upon her –

Mighty challenge from her Lord.

They are His, but graciously He

bids her train them through His Word.

Bring them up to love and serve Him,

tell them of His home above.

Gently lead them to the Savior –

Love them with His boundless love!

A.W. Tozer

The true follower of Christ will not ask, “If I embrace this truth, what will it cost me?” Rather he will say, “This is truth. God help me to walk in it, let come what may!” -
 

He who Comes from Heaven

John3:31-36

He who comes from above is greater than all.

He who is from the earth belongs to the earth

and speaks about earthly matters,

but he who comes from heaven is above all.

He tells what he has seen and heard,

yet no one accepts his message.

But whoever accepts his message

confirms by this that God is truthful.

The one whom God has sent speaks God’s words,

because God gives him the fullness of his Spirit.

The Father loves his Son

and has put everything in his power.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life;

whoever disobeys the Son will not have life,

but will remain under God’s punishment.

23rd Psalm

The Lord is my Shepherd
That’s Relationship!

I shall not want
That’s Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
That’s Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters
That’s Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul
That’s Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
That’s Guidance!

For His name sake
That’s Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
That’s Testing!

I will fear no evil
That’s Protection!

For Thou art with me
That’s Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me
That’s Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
That’s Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil
That’s Consecration!

My cup runneth over
That’s Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
That’s Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
That’s Security!

Forever
That’s Eternity!

Angels from the Realms of Glory

by James Montgomery

Angels from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o’er all the earth;

Ye who sang creation’s story,

Now proclaim Messiah’s birth:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

Shepherds, in the fields abiding,

Watching o’er your flocks by night,

God with man is now residing,

Yonder shines the infant Light;

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

Sages, leave your contemplations,

Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great desire of nations,

Ye have seen His natal star;

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

Saints before the altar bending,

Watching long in hope and fear,

Suddenly the Lord, descending,

In His temple shall appear:

Come and worship,

Come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King!

William Cowper (1731-1800)

And Satan trembles when he sees, The weakest saint upon his knees.

Judgement by Jesus’ Words

John 12:44-50

Jesus said in a loud voice, “Whoever believes in me

believes not only in me but also in him who sent me.

Whoever sees me sees also him who sent me.

1 have come into the world as light, so that everyone

who believes in me should not remain in the darkness.

If anyone hears my message and does not obey it,

I will not judge him. I came, not to judge the world, but to save it.

Those who reject me and do not accept my message

have one who will judge them.

The words I have spoken will be their judge on the last day!

This is true, because I have not spoken on my own authority,

but the Father who sent me has commanded me what I must say and speak.

And I know that his command brings eternal life.

What I say, then, is what the Father has told me to say.”

I see the pain

by Aaron Armstrong

I see how you go on from day to day

With smiles for everyone in every way

But deep down inside

I see the pain that you hide

And the hurt that just won’t go away

Give it to me I will take it all

I died for this reason to save your soul

I know it is hard, but you just must let go

Give it to me, I’ll remove it all

At the foot of the cross fall on your knees

And I will hear you when you cry out to me

You do not have to carry this load alone

Give it to me and I will lead you on.

D.L. Moody

You might as well try to hear without ears or breathe without lungs, as to try to live a Christian life without the Spirit of God in your heart.

The Resurrection

1 Corinthians 15:51-58

Listen to this secret truth: we shall not all die,

but when the last trumpet sounds;

we shall all be changed in an instant,

as quickly as the blinking of an eye when the trumpet sounds,

the dead will be raised, never to die again, and we shall all be changed.

For what is mortal must be changed into what is immortal;

what will die must be changed into what cannot die.

S0 when this takes place, and the mortal has been changed into the immortal,

then the scripture will come true: “Death is destroyed; victory is complete!”

Where, Death, is your victory?

Where, Death, is you power to hurt?”

Death gets its power to hurt from sin, and sin gets its power from the Law.

But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!

So then, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm and steady.

Keep busy always in your work for the Lord, since you know that nothing you do in the Lord’s service is ever useless.
