William Tyndale Quote

Let every man of whatsoever craft or occupation he be of . . . serve his brethren.

From Joshua 24:14-15: “Now therefore revere the Lord, and serve Him in sincerity and in faithfulness; put away the gods that your ancestors served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Instead of seeing our difficulties as loss, we need to view them as a means God uses to build endurance.

From James 1:2-4: “My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.”

A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do; all we have to do is to enter into it.

From John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”

His Great Love

From Deuteronomy 8:3: “He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.”

Life’s darkening journey

Never exempt from pain

Evil always prowling

Adversity’s campaign

Seeking life’s foundation

Holy Word, God alone

Heavenly love provides

Troubles no longer groan

Praise our Great Comforter

Treasures open, His love

Understanding God’s law

Commandments from above

Freed from harsh wilderness

Rejoice with faithful trust

Delighting in God’s love

Filled with hope, life adjusts

Depend upon the Lord

Manna nourishing needs

Trials teach bold lessons

His great love always leads

From Romans 8:28: “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.”

Oswald Chambers Quote

The Cross is the point where God and sinful man merge with a crash and the way of life is opened–but the crash is on the heart of God.

From 1 Peter 2:24: “He himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.”

Good words are worth much, and cost little.

God sees hearts as we see faces.

True Motives

From Proverbs 21:2: “All deeds are right in the sight of the doer, but the Lord weighs the heart.”

World around us

Views outer selves

Not always true

God sees ourselves

Examines hearts

What’s false, what’s true

Peeling away

Each beating clue

Colleagues at work

Neighbors and friends

Hold opinions

Not through God’s lens

God’s view prevails

Noting actions

Mindful of thoughts

Weighs each fraction

Most important

True motives say

Pure intentions

Every day

From the words of American Christian author, John Eldredge: “If the narrative of the Scriptures teaches us anything, from the serpent in the Garden to the carpenter in Nazareth, it teaches us that things are rarely what they seem, that we shouldn’t be fooled by appearances.”

In the center of a hurricane there is absolute quiet and peace. There is no safer place than in the center of the will of God.

From Psalm 86:11: “Teach me your way, O Lord, that I may walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to revere your name.”

Forever Praise

Posted on May 5, 2021 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 98:5-6: “Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody. With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.”

With joy, singing life’s new song

Lifting up voices, filled with praise

Hailing Father’s steadfast love

Let our eyes to Heaven gaze

Our Lord does marvelous things

Victorious in His deeds

Judging world with righteousness

Tirelessly His Spirit leads

Earth’s faithful hearts shall rejoice

Accepting His love and grace

Forever praise God’s presence

Darkness, never will we chase

Ageless joy recites God’s Word

Life’s solid foothold responds

Promises backed up by trust

Faith, hope, love form lasting bonds

Guide every daily step

Reigning from Heaven above

With Son and Holy Spirit

From God comes lasting love

From Psalm 98:7-8: “Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who live in it. Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy.”
