BE ENCOURAGED: You Are Not Alone!

All Throughout Holy Writ 

Is 

The Constant Refrain 

"Be Strong! 

Be Of Good Courage! 

Do Not Fear!" 

The Lord Jesus Says To Us: 

"Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

Neither Let It Be Afraid!" 

And

We Are Encouraged To 

"Trust In The Lord With All Thy Strength! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 

Let Your Requests Be Made Known Unto God!" 

Beloved, 

All Who Wait Upon The Lord Our God

Shall Have Their Strength Renewed! 

We Who Wait Upon The Lord Of Glory

Shall Be Like Mount Zion

Unshakeable

Unmovable! 

Let Us Prayerfully Meditate On The Fact That 

Too Often We Faithfully Wait On The Lord 

Until 

We Reach The Border Of The Promised Land! 

We Forget Who Has Brought Us 

"Safely Thus Far!" 

And 

We Start To Trust Our Own Lying Sight

And 

Self-Deceived Understanding! 

We Forget That The Lord Says 

"Walk In Faith!" 

We Forget That The Wisdom Of Man 

Is 

Foolishness To Almighty God! 

We Forget Whose We Are 

And

Who It Is That Goes Before Us 

And

We Turn Back To The Desert Of Sin 

When The Lord Would Have Parted The Waters

- Even The Waters Of Strife - 

And

Made Dry Ground For Us 

To Enter The Goodly Land Of Total Peace 

And

Perfect Rest! 

Our God Is Just And Faithful

So Forsake Not His Ways: 

Walk Holy

- According To His Sovereign Holy Will - 

And 

Be Daily Blessed 

And 

Eternally Saved! 

There Is No Peace

For

The Willing Sin-Slave!
