Living Close to the Lord

As we live close to the Lord, and as our faith grows, we become more aware of Divine direction in our lives; and, we will make use of the means He has provided for our strengthening and up building. If we live close to the Lord, we freely call upon Him in prayer in every time of need, because we know that He never fails those who put their trust in Him, or those who earnestly seek to walk in His appointed ways. Yes, we may go forth in perfect trust and confidence because He is with us in every aspect of our lives. 

Sing Unto the Lord A New Song!

Can you sing a song of celebration unto the Lord for all that He has done in your life? 

Living in the presence of God is a cause for rejoicing in itself, but when we remind ourselves of all that God has done in our lives, from our salvation to our victories in the battles of life, there is even more cause for rejoicing. Let us dwell in all that he has done and realize that there is so much more He plans to do. This is indeed cause for celebration! Let us sing to the Lord a new song and give Him all the glory and honor and praise that He is due today and every day of our lives.

WORKS OF POETRY

By Jettie Hess

Joyous Gratitude

For each new morning 

With it's brilliant light 

We give Thee thanks 

For this is right. 

Each day is precious 

As we walk in Thee 

Each moment is golden 

In splendorous victory! 

Thank you, Jesus 

For our hearts made new 

Thank you Lord ... 

We love you! 

He is Faithful!

Keep on praying 

To God everyday, 

And just as Daniel 

In the lion's den ... 

God will make a way. 

Be strong in your faith 

For His hand is mighty; 

Know with full assurance 

That He is there beside thee. 

Joy comes in the morning 

As does the heavenly dew 

So take heart and be glad, child of God ... 

Because great is His love for you!
