Satisfied

☕️ This morning after reading Psalm 63, I could not help but think of the following hymn written below by Clara T. Williams in 1875, yet so applicable to us today! All of us are born separated from friendship with God because of the disease of sin, we search for anything and everything to fill that void, that emptiness within, only to find ourselves disillusioned! Until, one day, it dawns upon us, that all the while, we were really looking for a Saviour, a Redeemer! “Thank-You Lord Jesus for saving my soul! I know that without God I’d NEVER be whole!” 🙏🏻 #SoGrateful! 


All my life I had a longing

For a drink from some clear spring,

That I hoped would quench the burning

Of the thirst I felt within.


*Hallelujah! I have found Him

Whom my soul so long has craved!

Jesus satisfies my longings,

Through His blood I now am saved.


Feeding on the husks around me,

Till my strength was almost gone,

Longed my soul for something better,

Only still to hunger on.


Poor I was, and sought for riches,

Something that would satisfy,

But the dust I gathered round me

Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.


Well of water, ever springing,

Bread of life so rich and free,

Untold wealth that never faileth,

My Redeemer is to me.




Taken in Canmore, AB

Faint Not!

Psalms 27:13; “I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” Psalms 27:14, “Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” Jonah 2:7; “When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.” Galatians 6:9; “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Luke 18:1; And he (Jesus) spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint. 1 Corinthians 15:58; “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.”

Are you looking for the light?

Image
Psalms 119:130; The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. John 8:12; Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” 1 John 1:5; This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:7; But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Choices

Image
In a world of darkness, I choose the light.  In a world of evil, I choose the good.  In times of sorrow, I choose joy.  When Satan deceives me, I choose the truth. When fears arise, I choose the Father’s peace. When religion knocks at my door, I choose a relationship with my Creator, through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for the forgiveness of my sin. When doubts arise, I choose to believe.  What or whom do you choose today?  “Today, if you will hear His (Jesus) voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” -Hebrews 3:7, 8
