Aug.12.04: Light for the Day - "Pathway"
-- Isaiah 12:2
Surely God is my salvation;
I will trust and not be afraid.
The LORD, the LORD, is my strength and my song;
He has become my salvation."
--------------
Pathway
As I walk down the road of life
I notice many barriers in my pathway.
I see small logs and stones
Which are easy to overcome.
But I also see
Boulders that stand over my head
And are as wide as an ocean
With the only way around it
Is Up and Over.
I see many who have given up
And stop at the barricades of the boulders
In those times of trouble,
I call on One.
One who can carry me over my fears
And doubts
I call Him my best friend
He's also my Savior
Jesus Christ!
-- Unknown
----------
-- Psalms 145:18
The LORD is near to all who call on Him,
to all who call on Him in truth.
-- Psalms 17:6
I call on You, O God, for You will answer me;
give ear to me and hear my prayer.
---------------------
-- Matthew 11:28-30
28 "Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
-- 2 Corinthians 12:9,10
9 But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness."
Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
-- 1 Peter 1:3-9
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.
8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him;
and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
-- Psalms 103:17
17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear Him, and His righteousness with their children’s children --
18 with those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
-- Isaiah 55:6
Seek the LORD while He may be found;
call on Him while He is near.
