The Future is Bright ( by Fenny West)
The Future is Bright
The future is bright
In God’s sight
For the wise
Who partner with Him.
The future is bright
When you start right
Seeking His face
His glory and grace.
The future is bright
No need for fright
For God is there
And He cares.
The future is bright
It’s in God’s hands
He has good plans
milk and honey land.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jer29:11
19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land; Isa1:19
18 Bring your father and your households and come to me; I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land. Gen45:17
27 So Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions there and grew and multiplied exceedingly.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Prov3:5-6
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Prov1:7
Gen47:27
Totally His (by Fenny West)
Totally His:
By Choice, Cost and Conquest
Totally His is Me and Mine
Not by my will but by His choice, divine design
His volition, His election, His decision
Not for what I have done
But because of the Son
My soul He has won, ignited my sun.
Totally His because of purchase- the great cost
a great price paid for one totally lost
he shed His precious blood to buy me
washed me , bringing me, wooing me
o what a great price-
o what love- to be deemed a prize.
Totally His: not by my fight but by His conquest
He disarmed principalities and power at my behest.
He laid a siege on my soul to make me His
He persevered till He pinned His blood-stained flag
Won my heart into His love-filled bag.
He buried my sins so none can fish.
So I will spend and be spent for Him
I will surrender my all to Him
I will give my life to Him
I will be a living sacrifice for Him
I will be His epistle in my world for Him
I will always trumpet His praise
Sing His praise and worship Him
Eph1:3-4, 1 Pet2:9-11, 1 Pet1:18-19, Isa53:4-5,7,10, Ro5:8,10-11
Pictures for Prayer Power
Pictures for Prayer Power
Charles H. Spurgeon
“And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.”
Exodus 17:12
So mighty was the prayer of Moses, that all depended upon it. The petitions of Moses discomfited the enemy more than the fighting of Joshua. Yet both were needed. No, in the soul’s conflict, force and fervour, decision and devotion, valour and vehemence, must join their forces, and all will be well. You must wrestle with your sin, but the major part of the wrestling must be done alone in private with God. Prayer, like Moses’, holds up the token of the covenant before the Lord. The rod was the emblem of God’s working with Moses, the symbol of God’s government in Israel. Learn, O pleading saint, to hold up the promise and the oath of God before him. The Lord cannot deny his own declarations. Hold up the rod of promise, and have what you will.
Moses grew weary, and then his friends assisted him. When at any time your prayer flags, let faith support one hand, and let holy hope uplift the other, and prayer seating itself upon the stone of Israel, the rock of our salvation, will persevere and prevail. Beware of faintness in devotion; if Moses felt it, who can escape? It is far easier to fight with sin in public, than to pray against it in private. It is remarked that Joshua never grew weary in the fighting, but Moses did grow weary in the praying; the more spiritual an exercise, the more difficult it is for flesh and blood to maintain it.
Let us cry, then, for special strength, and may the Spirit of God, who helpeth our infirmities, as he allowed help to Moses, enable us like him to continue with our hands steady “until the going down of the sun;” till the evening of life is over; till we shall come to the rising of a better sun in the land where prayer is swallowed up in praise.
Living the Life of Love
Living the Life of Love
Living the life of love
that is from above
will cost you dearly
Stretch you daily.
It’s not a matter of feeling
But a matter of action
Based on a quality decision
It is Holy Spirit-induced
And God-propelled
And sustained
and maintained
It is sacrificial
And self-less
You cannot do it
in your own strength
But in the strength of the Lord.
You must die daily
to do it sincerely.
