“If only I could be now as I was

In the months past when God

Watched over me!

His lamp shined over my head

Then and by His light I walked

Through darkness.

Job 29:2-3 TLV

 

O For a Closer Walk with God…

- William Cowper

 

O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb!

 

Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I sought the Lord?
Where is the soul refreshing view
of Jesus and his Word?

 

What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.

 

The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.

 

So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb.

 

***

I have seen the vision

And for self I cannot live;

Life is less than worthless

Till my all I give.

- Oswald J. Smith

 

Those who go to Heaven

Ride on a pass and enter

Into blessings that they

Never earned,

But all who go to Hell

Pay their own way.

- John R. Rice

 

It takes a man of God,

With the Word of God,

And the Spirit of God,

To make the children of God,

For the glory of God.

- Jack Wellman

 

That is a good rule for

All Christians which I saw

In one of our Orphanage

Schoolrooms,

"What would Jesus do?"

There cannot be a better

Guide than that for believers.

- Charles Spurgeon
