TRUST AND OBEY

In 1887 John H. Sammis wrote a short poem plus a repeat chorus about how to trust in Jesus, and Daniel B. Towner set the words to music.

Popularly known as "Trust and Obey", these men expressed the peace that comes when God's children turn to him in obedient trust.

When we walk with the Lord,
In the Light of His Word,
What a glory he sheds on our way!
Let us do His good will;
He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey.

Trust and obey
For there is no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey.

Not a burden we bare,
Not a sorrow we share,
But our toil he doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss.
Not a frown or a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey

CHORUS

But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey.

CHORUS

Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet
Or we will walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go;
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Trust and obey,
for there is not other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

Jesus, the Savior of the World, the Master who takes our burdens on Himself, offers His merciful grace to those who acknowledge Him as LORD GOD, Master, ruler of each person's soul.  Jesus, the delight of those who believe in His promise of eternal life, (John 3:16-17) gave himself as the perfect sacrifice for the individual sins of people. All that must be done is to acknowledge the sins and BEG for forgiveness then turn back to the merciful loving God who is waiting for His children to come home.

Go boldly into the presence of the Most High God

As a child of God, I have the right and privilege to come into the presence of the Holy Pure God because of the blood sacrifice of Jesus, 2000 years ago.  As His child, I can be assured that He will listen to me and answer my questions, statements, and pleas for help. Today, March 16, 2020 President Trump declared that the United States is in a war with a world wide enemy - Corvid 19 or the Corona Virus.  This fast moving killer of the elderly and weak invaded the world and has spread like a meteor strike.  Many people have felt the effects of this virus personally for them I raise my pleas that God will give them comfort, healing, and peace.  For those indirectly affected, I ask that God will pour His peace of spirit and knowledge into their hearts and minds.  I am asking all of my brothers and sisters in the LORD JESUS CHRIST to pray continually and diligently that God will move swiftly to eradicate this horrible threat to humanity.  I pray that God g...

Lessons in Life

 Each day the Lord opens His heart to His children and demonstrates the way to make wise decisions and choices. Yet all too often people close their eyes and ears to what is really happening around them.  They do no see the needs of people - physical, mental, spiritual.  People need to look for ways to open their minds to the guidance of God.   Watch for chances to serve others and to celebrate their strengths and hopes. Wait for God to open doors or windows for you to move through. Pray daily, in humility and desire to follow Jesus more closely. Please Lord Jesus pour your love through me on to others - strangers, friends, family.  Guide my thoughts so that I continually seek to know you in a real loving relationship.  Give me the strength of spirit to do what you want done.  Let me hide myself in you - my Rock and my Salvation.  Amen WATCH WAIT PRAY

Growing in God's garden

God has planted a beautiful garden that grows and produces fruit.  As he tends his garden, He often prunes and removes dead growth.  During this time, the pain of the process cause His children to accuse Him of rejecting them.  God grows an organized well structured garden and desires the best for each person. Now during this time of pandemic and hate, more than ever before the Children of God must deepen their roots and offer shelter to those in need.  The question becomes how. God offers patterns for Spiritual Growth -  1. Assurance of Salvation - Do you know in your heart that you are saved?  Read 1 John 5:13 2. Understanding you are forgiven - The one willing sacrifice of Jesus who gave His life for you is all you need.  Read Ephesians 1:7 3.  Desire to study the Word of God - read the Life manual of God daily.  1 Peter 2;2 4. Pray CONSTANTLY - communicate with God always about all things  Philippians 4:6 5. Be a witness for Jesus by...
