Sept.22.05: Light For The Day - "What Can God Do For You?"

-- Mark 10:27 
"Jesus looked at them and said,
"With men it is impossible, but not with God; 
FOR ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD."


--------------------
"What Can God Do For You?"

If God can send the winds through space;
And dot with trees the mountain's face,
If He the sparrow's course can trace,
What can He do for you?

If God can hang the stars on high,
Can paint the clouds that drift on by,
Can send the sun across the sky,
What can He do for you?

If God can send us sunny days,
and nature from her slumber raise
Till song birds lift their notes of praise,
What can He do for you?

If God can do these many things,
Can count each little bird that sings,
Control the universe that swings,
What can He do for you?

If God can bring sweet peace to me
And to my soul bring liberty.
By Christ who hung upon the tree,
THIS HE CAN DO FOR YOU.

-- G.E.Wagoner

God's eye has never yet become dimmed with age; 
His ear has never yet become dulled with the years;
His arms have never yet been wanting in strength, 
nor have His footsteps ever faltered. 
He is not changed; 
He is still the same immortal, immutable,
invincible God, from all the ages. 

He makes a commitment of Himself to us. 
What a gift, what an offering, what a measureless, 
boundless condescension of
the infinite God to give Himself.

-- Mark 9:23

-- Hebrews 11:6 
" And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him."

-- Jeremiah 29:11-13
11 For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.
12 Then when you call upon Me and come and pray to Me, I will hear you.
13 When you search for Me, you will find Me; if you seek Me with all your heart.

-- Luca 11:9
And I tell you,
Ask, and it will be given you;
Seek, and you will find; 
Knock, and it will be opened to you.

2 "The LORD, the Maker of the heavens and earth—the LORD is His name—says this:
3 "Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great
and unsearchable things which you do not known."

-- John 14:27 
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. 
I do not give to you as the world gives. 
Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

-- Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; 
He leads me beside still waters;
3 He restores my soul. 
He leads me in right paths for His name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff—they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.

-- Luke 8:24, 25
24 The disciples went and woke Him, saying, "Master, Master, we’re going to drown!" He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm.
25 "Where is your faith?" He asked His disciples. 
In fear and amazement they asked one another, "Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him."
