Aug.02.04: Light for the Day - "Run to the Cross and Stay"
-- Psalms 9:10
"Those who know Your name will trust in You,
for You, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek You."
----------------------
Run to the Cross and Stay
When your cries of fear,
Always turn into your river of tears;
When your heart of pain,
Always manages to harden in the rain;
When your life of trying,
Always makes you feel like dying;
When your days of happiness,
Always seems to turn into your life of sadness;
When you are tired of waiting,
And you feel like you are fading;
When all of Satan's attacks are flying in your face,
And you a tired of life's rapidly growing pace;
When you look at your life,
And realize you are being cut like a knife;
When you can't bear the thought of going on,
Run to the Cross and Stay.
Don't let the pain of today,
Steal away your hope for tomorrow;
When the waves come pounding in,
Just remember you have the Dearest of Friends,
Who can save you from anything.
Just run to the cross and stay,
Where JESUS can wipe all your tears way.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God; trust also in Me.
-- Isaiah 26:4

for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.
-- Proverbs 3:1-12
1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline
and do not resent His rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those He loves,
as a father the son He delights in.
-- 1 Peter 1:3-7
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade— kept in heaven for you,
5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
7 These have come so that your faith— of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire— may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
-- Hebrews 10:23
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering,
for He who promised is faithful.
-- Psalm 23:6
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
