From Psalm 28:7:  “The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts; so I am helped, and my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him.”

Every generation

Hope rests in Father above

His help in decades past

Built upon eternal love

 

From salvation’s refuge

Father’s strength grasps every hand

His presence shall defend

With faith’s shield, just as He planned

 

Hopeful hearts always trust

Father’s promises fulfilled

Morning’s light ever shines

Earthly ground now freshly tilled

 

Past, present, and future

Father’s guidance, count on it

Fed with living water

Darkness fades, ready to quit

 

Rejoice with today’s gift

Grace comes from Father above

Step forward, now accept

Songs of praise, filled with our love

The more you make the choice to live above your feelings, to trust God instead of what you may feel like doing, the stronger your faith becomes.

From Isaiah 41:10:  “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.”

Tim Tebow (born 1987) is an American Christian.  While his athletic accomplishments in football are well-documented, he continues to share his witness of faith through speaking and writing.

We can’t avoid darkness or pain in this life.  But we can go to the Lord in our weakness, knowing that In Him we are made stronger.

From 2 Corinthians 3:17-18:  “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.  And all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the glory of the Lord as though reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, for this comes from the Lord, the Spirit.”

Worry, whatever its source, weakens, takes away courage, and shortens life.

From Isaiah 41:10:  “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.”

John Lancaster Spalding (1840-1916) was an American author, poet, and advocate for higher education.

Creator’s morning scene

Always at work, His hands

Shaping, each masterpiece

All following, God’s command

 

Tranquility breathing

Always at work, God’s plan

Designing, each journey

All inviting, with each scan

 

God’s wisdom shadows truth

Always at work, strength speaks

Teaching, with every breath

All scaling, each mountain peak

 

Tomorrow’s story waits

Always at work, God’s script

Sketching, every new page

All leading, faith’s fresh transcript

 

Creator’s morning scene

Always at work, His light

Witnessing, darkness fades

All praising, Savior’s birthright

Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.

Love needs new leaves every summer of life, as much as your elm-tree, and new branches to grow broader and wider, and new flowers to cover the ground.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and abolitionist.  A native of the state of Connecticut, she was born in Litchfield.
