The future is as bright as the promises of God.

From Jeremiah 29:11:  “ For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.”

Adoniram Judson (1788-1850) was an American pastor and missionary.  He was one of the first Protestant missionaries in Burma, where he would serve for nearly 40 years.

In His Hands

From Isaiah 46:3-4:  “Listen to Me, O house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who have been borne by Me from your birth, carried from the womb; even to your old age I am He; even when you turn gray I will carry you.  I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.”

Praising Father above

Faithful promises speak

In His hands, mercy proves

Forsake idol’s mystique

 

Looking to heavens high

Courage to face trials

In His hands, time stands still

Return from dark exile

 

Reciting Father’s Word

Wisdom from light-filled grace

In His hands, answers found

Holy, this divine place

 

Walking in righteous steps

Troubles fading away

In His hands, peace shall reign

Salvation comes today

 

Believing Father’s Son

Life no longer adrift

In His hands, refuge found

Faith rises from Christ’s gift

From Colossians 3:17:  “ And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”

Selwyn Hughes Quote

Photo by Maruxa Lomoljo Koren on Pexels.com

We must never forget that God’s nature is uncompromisingly set against sin.  We may tolerate it; He never.

From Psalm 2:5-6:  “Then He will speak to them in His wrath and terrify them in His fury, saying, ‘I have set My king on Zion, My holy hill.'”

Selwyn Hughes (1928-2006) was a Welsh-born Christian minister and author.  One of his best known works was the daily devotional EVERY DAY WITH JESUS.
