God is in control

THIS IS MY FATHER'S WORLD
written by Maltbie Davenport Babcock and published in 1901.  Franklin Shepherd set it to music.  The song first appeared in Presbyterian Sunday school hymnals in 1915.

This is my Father's World,
And to my listening ears
All nature sings and round me rings
The music of the spheres.

This is my Father's World:
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas -
His hands the wonders wrought.

This is my Father's World:
The birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white,
Declare their Maker's praise.

This is my Father's World:
He shines in all that's fair,
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass,
He speaks to me every where.

This is my Father's World:
O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong,
God is the ruler yet.

This is my Father's World:
Why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King: let the heavens ring!
God reigns: let the Earth be glad.

Sing to Lord Jesus, the Most High, the Holy Spirit songs of joy and thanksgiving. 
Pray with peace in your heart knowing that The Triune God is all powerful and in total control.

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...

Where have you been?

 Have you asked that question of friends, family, classmates, the doctor, the minister, or maybe a complete stranger? BUT have you bothered to ask "Where have you been?" of your relationship with the Most High Triune Lord God?  The Creator of the Universe wants to have a living relationship with you in a one to one time of communication.  In the old song, we are reminded that God is waiting for us to actually speak to him as a person speaks to other humans.  June Deniece William s and Miles C. Austin write:                                     I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses,                                     and the voice I hear falling on my ear,                                 ...
