Morning Gathering

From Psalm 30:5:  “For His anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a lifetime.  Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Morning gathering

Hearing Christ’s invite

Come now, rest a spell

Witnessing His delight

 

Tasting each morning

Sweetness of His grace

Reading Father’s Word

Peace fills this very place

 

Blessed morning time

Taking faithful walk

Christ offers His love

Trusting salvation’s rock

 

Finding morning’s truth

Gospel’s foundation

Maturing in faith

Father’s new creation

 

Tomorrow morning

Gathering again

Precious time with Christ

Praising His lasting reign

In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness courage to fear, hope to despair.

From Psalm 130:5-6:  I wait for the Lord; my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning, more than those who watch for the morning.”

Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was a American author, theologian, and civil rights leader.  His writings mentored many leaders in the civil rights movement, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We need godly knowledge and principles to guide us, which is why we must make meditation on the Word a daily habit.

From Psalm 119:97-98:  “Oh, how I love Your law!  It is my meditation all day long.  Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is always with me.”

Actions Never by Chance

From John 10:10-11:  “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.  I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.  I am the good shepherd.  The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”

Father almighty

Designing redemption’s plan

Actions never by chance

Good Shepherd, faith’s steady helmsman

 

Shepherd’s faith searches

Teaching His flock, hear My voice

Actions never by chance

Heavenly angels shall rejoice

 

Angelic choir sings

Rising from cold, empty tomb

Actions never by chance

Redeemer’s grace faithfully blooms

 

Redeemer sheds blood

Forgiving each transgression

Actions never by chance

Father blesses without question

 

Father’s greatest love

Offering His only Son

Actions never by chance

Forever, His will shall be done

From John 3:16-17:  “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but may have eternal life.  Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”
