From Lamentations 3:55-56:  “I called on Your name, O Lord, from the depths of the pit; You heard my plea, ‘Do not close Your ear to my cry for help, but give me relief!'”

Facing distant horizon

Lingering darkness ahead

Knowing Jesus always hears

Providing His daily bread

 

Thirsting for living water

Drawing drink from Jacob’s well

Knowing Jesus always hears

Giving thanks, gratefulness swells

 

Waiting follows each sunset

Rising sunrise, full of hope

Knowing Jesus always hears

Scaling Zion’s mighty slope

 

Kneeling at Calvary’s cross

Praying for redemption’s seed

Knowing Jesus always hears

Harvesting from tender reed

 

Seeking His mercy’s comfort

Looking to heavens above

Knowing Jesus always hears

Responding with steadfast love

From Lamentations 3:22-23:  “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Jesus calls us to share a slice of His heavenly grace.  Sometimes we may need to add a sprinkle of His patience.

The confession of the thief on the cross was both a first and final one.  But . . . Christ received it.  Maybe you never heard your loved one confess Christ, but who’s to say Christ didn’t?

From 2 Peter 3:9:  “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some think of slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.”

When we pause to embrace a moment of nature’s grace, we realize that our Creator walks with us.

If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven; you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.

From Ephesians 2:18-20:  “For through Him both of us have access in one Spirit to the Father.  So then, you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and also members of the household of God, built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.”

Vance Havner (1901-1986) was an American pastor and Christian author.  During his many years of service to the Lord, he preached throughout America.

Always Stand Firm

From Matthew 8:24-25:  “A windstorm suddenly arose on the sea, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves, but He was asleep.  And they went and woke Him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us!  We are perishing!'”

Swamped by storm’s endless waves

Darkness covers waters

Perishing, “Lord, save us”

Every son and daughter

 

Deceived by enemy

Lord brings light upon scene

Watching evilness flee

Savior transforms faith’s genes

 

Filled with courageous strength

Darkness gives in to light

Witnessing, “Lord with us”

Mercy boards rescue’s flight

 

Glorified God in Christ

Lord teaches how to love

Rising beyond death’s tomb

Infinite grace above

 

Urged to always stand firm

Darkness shrinking away

Hearing Lord, “Do not fear”

Righteousness paves His way

From Isaiah 41:13:  “For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, ‘Do not fear, I will help you.'”
