Faith’s Cornerstone

From Isaiah 30:15:  “For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel:  In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.”

Father looks upon His design

His perfection draws each detail

Filling darkness with trusted light

Faith now strengthens, no longer frail

 

Father molds mercy’s truth to shine

His promises to be fulfilled

Sending Shepherd, care for His flock

Faith’s cornerstone, set to rebuild

 

Father plans enemy’s demise

His victory shall bring glory

Witnessing Teacher’s lesson plans

Faith refreshed with every story

 

Father pulls strings of righteousness

His forgiving love offers hope

Wiping away sin’s endless debt

Faith grips Savior’s eternal rope

 

Father calls out from Calvary

His boldness breathes with quiet might

Offering life through Jesus Christ

Faith’s peace, rising on heaven’s flight

From Isaiah 30:20-21:  “Though the Lord may give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your Teacher will not hide Himself any longer, but your eyes shall see your Teacher.  And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.'”

God’s goodness is the root of all goodness; and our goodness, if we have any, springs out of His goodness.

From Psalm 23:6:  “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

William Tyndale (c. 1494 – c.1536) was an English Biblical scholar and linguist.  He became a leading figure in the Protestant Reformation, and his writings were influenced by the thoughts shared from fellow reformer Martin Luther.

As we join together in prayer, we draw on God’s enabling might in a way, that multiplies our own efforts many times over.

From Isaiah 40:31:  “But those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

Shirley Dobson is an American Christian writer and speaker.  She is the wife of American Christian author and psychologist, James Dobson.  For 25 years, she chaired the task force of the National Day of Prayer.

Faith Coming Alive

From John 11:25-26:  “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life.  Those who believe in Me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?'”

Overwhelming with darkness

Tomorrow’s vision unseen

Out of life’s impossible

Wondering what faith will mean

 

Calvary’s light beams ahead

Today offers blessed place

Possible waiting in view

Powering toward Christ’s grace

 

Prince of Peace offers his hand

Hour of hope at last arrives

Redemption shall be fulfilled

Seeing faith coming alive

 

Bitter sorrow fades away

In Christ, mercy filled with love

Answers to prayer’s journey

Touching Spirit high above
