THE SAILS ARE TORN





ANCHOR OF HOPE



Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the LORD.
                Psalm 31:24




Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy
                Psalm 33:18



Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God!
                Psalm 43:5



You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.
                Psalm 119:114




It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.
                Lamentations 3:26




Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.  For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
                Romans 5: 5-10


To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
                Colossians 1:27




Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
                Titus 2:13




That by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.  This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
                Hebrews 6: 18-20



Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
                Hebrews 11:1




Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ
                I Peter 1:13

THE LORD'S STRONG HAND





The LORD has made bare His holy arm In the eyes of all the nations; And all the ends of the earth shall see The salvation of our God.
                Isaiah 52:10




You have a mighty arm; Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.
                Psalm 89:13




With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, For His mercy endures forever;
                Psalm 136:12




Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!
For He has done marvelous things;
His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.

                Psalm 18:10




For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.

My lovingkindness and my fortress, My high tower and my deliverer, My shield and the One in whom I take refuge, Who subdues my people under me.

JESUS - TRUST HIS HEART

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.

                Proverbs 3: 5-6



O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not my enemies triumph over me.
                Psalm 25:2




In God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?
                Psalm 56:11




I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
                Psalm 91:2




Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For YAH, the LORD, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.’”
                Isaiah 12:2




Even though I can't see
and I can't feel your touch
I will trust you Lord
how I love you so much
though my nights may seem long
and I feel so alone
Lord my trust is in you
I surrender to you


so many painful thoughts
travel through my mind
and i wonder how
i will make it through this time


but i trust you
lord it's not easy
sometimes the pain in my life
makes you seem far away
but i'll trust you
i need to know you're here
through the tears and the pain
through the heartache and rain
i'll trust you


everything that i see
tells me not to believe
but i'll trust you lord
you have never failed me
my past still controls me
will this hurt ever leave?
i can only trust you
there is no one else like

SILVER REFINED


  If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you.


"He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver."     
                Malachi 3:3




A silversmith explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.

Think about the times when you are in a hot spot in life. You wonder why God allows you to stay there?

The silversmith said that he had to sit and hold the silver in front of the fire all the time, and his eyes had to be on the silver all the time.

If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. But how does the silver smith know when the silver is fully refined?


The silversmith answer is this, "Oh, that's easy - when I see my image in it."

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
                II Corinthians 5:21





Atoning sacrifice
Keeper of this life
Hallelujah, You are Savior

Jesus, You are stronger
More than any other
Hallelujah, what a Savior
Jesus, You are higher
My souls deepest desire
Hallelujah, You are Savior

You are the Shepherd King
You lead us by still waters
Hallelujah, You are Savior

In Your presence You restore us

You are my joy and salvation
Stood in my place, taking my shame
Upon Your shoulders

PEACE TO YOU





For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
                Isaiah 9:6




Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
                John 14:27




These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
                John 16:33




For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near.
                Ephesians 2:14-17



Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
                Phillipians 4:6-7

SPIRIT OF LIFE





The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
                Job 33:4



It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
                John 6:63



For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
                Romans 8:2



And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
                Romans 8:10



But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
                Romans 8:11



And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
                1 Corinthians 15:45



Who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
                II Corinthians 3:6



For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
                Galations 6:8



Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
                II Peter 1:20-21   



By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

THE STRUGGLE YOU'RE FACING

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ
                Phillipians 1: 6



Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I hope in Him!”
                Lamentations 3:22-24



He who began a good work in you
He who began a good work in you
Will be faithful to complete it
He'll be faithful to complete it
He who started the work
Will be faithful to complete it in you

If the struggle you're facing
Is slowly replacing your hope
With despair
Or the process is long
And you're losing your song
In the night
You can be sure that the Lord
Has His hand on you
Safe and secure
He will never abandon you
You are His treasure
And He finds His pleasure in you

SONG IN THE NIGHT







My Help Comes From The Lord - Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qtZX7a44fMI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>





Psalm 77:19 stops me in my tracks.
“Your way was through the sea, Your path through the great waters; yet Your footprints were unseen.”
I’m stopped in my tracks by the thought of a God who always displays His great power – though sometimes we can’t see what He’s doing. Sometimes we can’t even discern that He’s doing anything at all.
But He is.
Psalm 77 is all about “the day of trouble”, and the psalmist reminds himself – and us – that we can always sing “a song in the night” (Psalm 77:6) about the relentless faithfulness of our gracious God. Any night! And that’s because our great God never ceases to be trustworthy.
When I’m up against my Red Sea, I want to see my way clear. I want to know God’s definitive intentions and His path of escape. I want the blueprints! But often God is at work in ways that are invisible and quiet.
I’m stopped in my tracks because I can’t always see His tracks. But His tracks are there, for He is always at work.
The English poet and hymnodist William Cowper (1731-1800) was no stranger to long dark nights when the Lord seemed very much absent from and unmoved by Cowper’s spiritual and emotional pain. Yet our brother was able to exclaim: “God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm!”
Therein lies the difficulty for us: we can’t see footsteps in the sea.
I don’t know where you’re struggling today, if at all. But this I know: God is at work in you and for you (Philippians 2:13). Rest assured. So go ahead and sing your song in the night! Cowper’s words may help …
    Oh! for a closer walk with God,
    A calm and heav’nly frame;
    A light to shine upon the road
    That leads me to the Lamb …

A BASKET OF WATER





The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson.

Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out Bible.  His grandson who wanted to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he could.


One day  the grandson asked, 'Papa, I try to read the Bible just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close  the book. What good does reading the Bible do?'

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and said, 'Take this old wicker coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water.'

The boy did as he was told, even though all the water leaked out before he could  get back to the house.  The grandfather laughed and said, 'You will have to move a little faster next time,' and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.

This time the boy ran faster, but again the old wicker basket was empty before he returned home.  Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was 'impossible to carry water in a basket,' and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, 'I don't want a bucket of water; I want a basket of water.  You can do this.  You're just not trying hard enough,' and he went out the door to watch the boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got far at all. The boy scooped the water and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, 'See Papa, it's useless!'

'So you think it is useless?' the old man said.   'Look at the basket.'

The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket looked different.  Instead of a dirty old wicker coal basket, it was clean.

'Son, that's what happens when you read the Bible.  You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, it will change you from  the inside out.'

Moral of the wicker basket story:
Take time to read a portion of God's word each day;
it will affect you for good even if you don't retain a word.

Thought for Today:  
God's Love is like the ocean, you can see its beginnings
but not its end.
I really like this story because I don't retain things too well
anymore...age may have something to do with it but I figure my brain  just gets overloaded!
God isn't concerned about my brain anyway;
He's more concerned about my heart.

HE DID NOT OPEN HIS MOUTH





Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.


He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
Sing Praise To The Lord

Mark

Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted,
Yet He opened not His mouth;
He was led as a lamb to the slaughter,
And as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
So He opened not His mouth.
 

He was taken from prison and from judgment,
And who will declare His generation?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
And they made His grave with the wicked—
But with the rich at His death,
Because He had done no violence,
Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him;
He has put Him to grief.
When You make His soul an offering for sin,
He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days,
And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand.

He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied.
By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great,
And He shall divide the spoil with the strong,
Because He poured out His soul unto death,
And He was numbered with the transgressors,
And He bore the sin of many,
And made intercession for the transgressors.

WINGS OF THE MORNING

Where could I go from Your Spirit?
How could I hide from Your eyes?
Why would I wander away from You,
Knowing that You are so wise?
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the depths of the sea,
Even the darkness hides nothing from You,
And with Your hand You will lead me.

For You did knit me together
Even before I was born.
I will confess You and praise You,
You are my wonderful Lord.

JESUS RUNS TO THE WEARY, WORN & WEAK!!

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles. Then last of all He was seen by me also, as by one born out of due time.
                I Corinthians 15: 3-8



But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

Then he bought fine linen, took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen. And he laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.
                Mark 15:46



But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large.
                Mark 16:4



But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb.
                Luke 24:2

SHELTER OVER ME


“The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
                II Samuel 22:2




I will love You, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;
So shall I be saved from my enemies.

                Psalm 18: 1-3



Bow down Your ear to me, Deliver me speedily; Be my rock of refuge, A fortress of defense to save me.  For You are my rock and my fortress; Therefore, for Your name’s sake, Lead me and guide me.
                Psalm 31:2-3




For You have been a shelter for me, A strong tower from the enemy.  I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah
                Psalm 61: 3-4



Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and my fortress.
                Psalm 71:3




I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”
                Psalm 91:2



But the LORD has been my defense, And my God the rock of my refuge.
                Psalm 94:22




Oh come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
                Psalm 95:1




Deliver me, O LORD, from my enemies; In You I take shelter.
                Psalm 143:9




The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.
                Proverbs 18:10



The LORD also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.
                Joel 3:16

HALLELUJAH! WHAT A SAVIOR!

Man of Sorrows! what a name
for the Son of God, who came
ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
in my place condemned he stood;
sealed my pardon with his blood.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
spotless Lamb of God was He;
full atonement can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Lifted up was He to die;
"It is finished!" was His cry;
now in heaven exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

When He comes, our glorious King,
all His ransomed home to bring,
then anew this song we'll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

GOD'S PRECIOUS SACRIFICE

OUR GOD IS FULL OF COMPASSION

John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses; Grace and Truth came through Jesus Christ.
Rejoice in the love of God revealed to us thru Jesus Christ, for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. The way God deals with sin is to always point us away from it. Peter denied the Lord three times, three is the number of completion, Peter denied Jesus completely. When the Lord came to Peter, He did not mention anything about the sin of denial but rather, He asks Peter' " Do you love Me" three times, this puts Peter in a new direction. The past is dead, God is now, let's move on to perfection.

This song is taken from Psalm 116
I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
Then called I upon the name of the LORD; O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
The LORD preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
I said in my haste, All men are liars.
What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me?
I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the LORD.
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the LORD.
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people.
In the courts of the LORD's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD.

MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN DIAMONDS



Lord you are more precious than silver
Lord you are more costly than gold
Lord you are more beautiful than diamonds
And nothing I desire compares with you

Who can weigh the value of knowing You?
Who can judge the worth of who You are?
Lord, who can count the blessings of loving You?
Who can say just how great You are?
How great You are!

STARRY HOSTS

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
   or with the breadth of His hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
   or weighed the mountains on the scales
   and the hills in a balance?
Who can fathom the Spirit of the LORD,
   or instruct the LORD as His counselor?
Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten Him,
   and who taught Him the right way?
Who was it that taught Him knowledge,
   or showed Him the path of understanding?

                Isaiah 40: 12-14



“To whom will you compare Me?
   Or who is My equal?” says the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
   Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
   and calls them each by name.
Because of His great power and mighty strength,
   not one of them is missing.

                Isaiah 40: 25-26

THE TRAIN OF HIS ROBE

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.  Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said:  “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;  The whole earth is full of His glory!”  And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of Him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.  So I said:  “Woe is me, for I am undone!  Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips;  For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.”
                Isaiah 6: 1-5

SWEETLY BROKEN

Sweetly Broken

TO THE CROSS I LOOK AND TO THE CROSS I CLING
OF IT'S SUFFERING I DO DRINK
OF IT'S WORK I DO SING

ON IT MY SAVIOR BOTH BRUISED AND CRUSHED
SHOWED THAT GOD IS LOVE
AND GOD IS JUST

AT THE CROSS YOU BECKON ME
YOU DRAW ME GENTLY TO MY KNEES, AND I AM
LOST FOR WORDS SO LOST IN LOVE
I AM SWEETLY BROKEN WHOLLY SURRENDERED

WHAT A PRICELESS GIFT UNDESERVED LIFE
HAVE I BEEN GIVEN
THROUGH CHRIST CRUCIFIED

YOU CALLED ME OUT OF DEATH
YOU CALLED ME INTO LIFE
AND I WAS UNDER YOUR WRATH
NOW THROUGH THE CROSS IM RECONCILED

AT THE CROSS YOU BECKON ME
YOU DRAW ME GENTLY TO MY KNEES AND I AM
LOST FOR WORDS SO LOST IN LOVE,
I AM SWEETLY BROKEN WHOLLY SURRENDERED

AT THE CROSS YOU BECKON ME
YOU DRAW ME GENTLY TO MY KNEES AND I AM
LOST FOR WORDS SO LOST IN LOVE,
I AM SWEETLY BROKEN WHOLLY SURRENDERED

IN AWE OF THE CROSS I MUST CONFESS
HOW WONDROUS YOUR REDEEMING LOVE AND
HOW GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS

AT THE CROSS YOU BECKON ME
YOU DRAW ME GENTLY TO MY KNEES AND I AM
LOST FOR WORDS SO LOST IN LOVE
I AM SWEETLY BROKEN WHOLLY SURRENDERED

AT THE CROSS YOU BECKON ME
YOU DRAW ME GENTLY TO MY KNEES AND I AM
LOST FOR WORDS SO LOST IN LOVE
I AM SWEETLY BROKEN WHOLLY SURRENDERED

IM BROKEN FOR YOU
IM BROKEN FOR YOU MY LORD
JESUS, WHAT LOVE IS THIS
I AM SWEETLY BROKEN
