Those who realize their days belong to God are careful how they live.

From Ephesians 5:15-17:  “Be careful, then, how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.  So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.”

Charlotte Bronte Quote

We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are in the grandest scale spread before us.

From Psalm 111:2-3:  “Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them.  Full of honor and majesty is His work, and His righteousness endures forever.”

Charlotte Bronte (1816-1855) was an English novelist and poet.  Many of her writings are considered classics in English literature.

Strength in Faith

From the words of American Christian author, Kay Arthur:  “To be courageous is to step out in faith–to trust and obey, no matter what.”

Each fear tests quiet resolve

Holding tightly to God’s Word

Strength in faith, stepping forward

Waiting courage, to be stirred

 

Another mountain to scale

Taking every fear to God

Faith’s shield shall always protect

Dissolving evil’s facade

 

Disappointment knocks at door

Believing in faithful Lord

Unspoken fears leaving heart

Sustaining grace, comes aboard

 

Endless wilderness journey

Seeing mercy’s light ahead

Every roadbed now smoothed out

Darning each fear, with faith’s thread

 

Dark challenges setting sail

Meditating day and night

Prayer surrounds every fear

Transforming faith, Savior’s light

 

Yesterday’s failures vanish

Removing fear’s daily stress

Faith encased with timeless love

Coming sunrise brings success

From Joshua 1:9:  “I hereby command you:  Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
