Genesis

In the beginning,

God created

the heavens and the earth.

And they clothed Him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns,

they put it on Him.  And they began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

Proverbs 30:7-9

Proverbs 30: 7-9

Two things I request of You
(Deprive me not before I die):

Remove falsehood and lies far from me;
Give me neither poverty nor riches—
Feed me with the food allotted to me;

Lest I be full and deny You,
And say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or lest I be poor and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

The Name of Jesus fills my mind

The Name of Jesus fills my heart

The name of Jesus informs my every emotion,

My every thought:  Peace, be still.

Jesus is here.

But the foolish pulls it down

With her hands.

With insults, with distress,

With persecutions, with difficulties,

For Christ´s sake;

For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Psalm 23: 1-3

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness

For his name´s sake.

Is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

 I will bless the Lord at all times;

Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
    and let us exalt his name together!

past the dangerous rocks…

Make the Word of God your compass,
and obedience the rudder that steers your little bark
in all the ways God’s commandments point you;
and make faith the mighty cable,
and you will be towed safely past the dangerous rocks
and reefs and threatening billows
into the peaceful haven of eternal rest.

from Food For Lambs, by James Orr 1844-1913
