Where could I go but to the Lord?

Wow, it’s been a hard week! Three funerals (all of whom were fully trusting in the finished work of Christ on the cross for their salvation) news of an upcoming surgery, and other heartaches in between. God remains faithful. I was reading in Psalm 34:18, that the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart. Maybe you are passing through some deep waters too? The Lord promises to be WITH YOU. To NEVER LEAVE YOU or forsake you. (Matthew 28:20; Hebrews 13:5) 

“Living below, in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone, to face temptation's sore
Where could I go but to the Lord?

Where could I go, oh where could I go?
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Needing a friend, to help me in the end
Where could I go, but to the Lord?”

“What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!” 🎵

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
