Fear Not God Is A Present Help

Fear them not…there shall not a man of them stand before thee

Yet To Be # 225

God is our helper.

He hears our cries before we call on His name.

He knows our needs and understands our every circumstance.

He is our God, full of compassion and plenteous in mercy.

He will never let us down.

And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not; for I have delivered them into thine hand; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. Joshua 10 verse 8

Fear Not – He Is Your Defender

Who shall His work withstand.

Yet To Be # 224

And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear not neither be thou dismayed : take all the people of war with thee, and arise, go up to Ai: see, I have given into thy hand the king of Ai, and his people and his city and his land. Joshua 8 verse 1

God prepares a way where there is no way.

Therefore, trust Him where you cannot trace Him.

When He makes bare His arm,

Who shall His work withstand?

When He His people’s cause defends,

Who then shall stay His hand? – P. Gerhardt, (1607 -76)

In Praise of Love

Love never fails

Yet To Be #223

Many waters cannot quench love…

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels and have not charity I am become as a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.”

I may be articulate but, If there is no love behind my speeches, then they are mere words.

Though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains and have not charity, I am nothing.

I may be intelligent and spiritual in my approach to life, but if I do this all without love; I am nothing and my deeds are for nought.

Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profits me nothing. 

I give to the poor, help those in need, but I do it for recognition, it is all for nothing if it is done without love.

Counting the ways of love:

True love shows patience despite troubles, is kind, is not fueled by envy, is not evil, does not look for self-praise, behaves with propriety, is not selfish, endures all, hopes for the best, is happy with doing what is right, and love never fails.
