For This Light Momentary
Testify – by Wendy Patrick
I testify that God is good – He was all through the year
During the times of great success, and moments of despair.
He’s kept me on the road of right – He’d gently give a prod
If anything should make a try to shake my faith in God.
You all would know temptations that would tend to come our way;
But were it not for love and grace – where would I be today?
The many times God’s shielded me from accidents and death;
When careless drivers drive too close, and I can’t catch my breath.
You know the times I stopped the car for one minute or so;
And laughingly would ask the Lord “But why you love me so?
For day by day you’re shielding me along these tortuous roads;
From drivers who just cannot wait, and trucks with heavy loads.”
Financially, God has been there – I am no millionaire;
But God provided day by day – I did not have to fear.
The strangest thing is – as I gave to church and charity:
I found the more I gave for God, the more came back to me.
Some days my body was not well, some days I felt so low.
That’s when I would repeat the promises of God I know.
His words are reassuring – whether spoken or in song;
It’s always gratifying when the right words come along.
So, I can testify today that God is good to me;
As long as I keep faith in Him, my Rock He’ll always be.
They say next year will not be bright that it will start out dim
Don’t let that shake your faith in God – just put your trust in him.
And as we press on day by day let’s motivate a friend
To join this wondrous race, and then, to hold on to the end.
Fun Facts About The Bible
The Bible was written on three continents
Most was written in what is modern-day Israel (Asia). But some passages of Jeremiah were written in Egypt (Africa) and several New Testament epistles were written from cities in Europe.
This is important to keep in mind when reading the Bible: it wasn’t written in a single room by a unified group of people. Instead, these writings were accumulated over the centuries and eventually compiled into the volume we call “the Bible” today.
Almost certainly God Is Not
“Almost certainly God is not in time. His life does not consist of moments one following another…Ten-thirty– and every other moment from the beginning of the world–is always Present for Him. If you like to put it this way, He has all eternity in which to listen to the split second of prayer put up by a pilot as his plane crashes in flames.” ― a quote from C.S. Lewis
If You Are Someone Who Has
A Poem of Hope
I feel the arms of God around me,
as I lay on my bed at night.
Asleep, I feel the Angel’s touch-
I’m surrounded and held tight.
I don’t know why it is,
that God should love me so,
that he would send His only Son,
to hang there on Death-row.
He guards me night and day,
always bringing love and hope.
Somehow, I know I will survive,
for He will help me cope.
As a father has compassion on his child,
so my Lord has compassion on me.
I know I can count on Him-
There is nowhere from His love I want to flee.
