Be of Good Cheer

 

Be of Good Cheer

 

Oh be of good cheer

Victory is near

Trust when life is drear

Give to Him thy fear.

 

Withhold not your heart

E’en the darkest part

Satan’s lie’s a dart

Give Christ all thou art

 

He’ll use broken things

The ache—oh it stings!

But the pain He brings—

Is healed ‘neath His wings!

 

He makes no mistake

Your heart He may break

For your own good sake

All things new He’ll make

 

When you don’t see how

Humbly to Him bow

All He may allow

Can grow you somehow

 

Whether dark or fair

He is always there!

Oh, do not despair!

He’ll answer thy prayer!

Oh you can trust the heart of your Father!

 

Oh you can trust the heart of your Father!

 

Does God’s path for you seem hard and lonely?

Never fear, He is with you all the way

His grace will supply your need day by day

As you seek His kingdom first and only

 

Oh you can trust the heart of your Father!

Showing us mercy is His good pleasure

He will ne’er test us above our measure

The clay’s safe in the hands of the Potter!

 

Can our lot, howe’er drear, escape His eye?

Is His hand shortened that He cannot save?

The very life of His own son He gave

We have power in prayer with Him on high!

 

“In the world ye shall have tribulation

But be of good cheer, I have overcome”

And it’s not us, but Christ, the work is done

Freely all may partake of salvation!

 

Persecution, famine, peril, and sword

Cannot sever us from our Savior’s love

In Him we’re seated in heaven above!

He is our Brother, Friend, High Priest, and Lord.

Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

 Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Isaiah 59:1 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

John 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

 Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?”

 

 

 

God of the Impossible

 

God of the Impossible

 

Once again, Lord, I commit my future to You

Not that its in my control anyway

Its uncertain cares are not for me to carry

I give them once again to You today

 

You know the desires of my heart, oh my Father

Bring to pass that which is pleasing to You

God of the impossible, nothing’s too hard for Thee

Every one of Your promises are true!

 

Some answers to prayer seem long in coming, to me

But God’s perfect timing is always right

Lord, help me wait patiently for You to act

You’ll perform what is pleasing in Your sight.

“Men who for truth and honor's sake"

 

“Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.”—Ralph Waldo Emerson



George Muller Quotes

“The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety.”

― George Muller

“Laying up treasures in heaven will draw the heart heavenward.”
George Muller

“As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time unless he eats, so is with the inner man. What is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God-not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe. No, we must consider what we read, ponder over it, and apply it to our hearts.”
― George Muller

“When sight ceases, it is the time for faith to work. The greater the difficulties, the easier it is for faith. As long as human possibilities for success remain, faith does not accomplish things as easily as when all natural prospects fail.”
George Muller

Do you feel your earthly work is small?

 

Do you feel your earthly work is small?

 

Do you feel your earthly work is small?

Fear not, God is judge over all.

You can serve Him greatly whate’er your plight

Christ commended the widow’s mite.

He picked young David: a keeper of sheep,

And Moses, who was very meek.

He looks not on the outward, as man

Your very heart He understands

He owns the cattle on a thousand hills

Is He limited by our skills?

The weakest vessel may show His might!

No favoritism in His sight!

The life committed to following God

With no regrets will reach heav’n’s sod

In prayer we may enter face to face—

Boldly before the throne of grace

Obtaining mercy in our time of need;

His helping grace He sends indeed!

We have naught but ourselves to offer

Joyful service to Faith’s Author

Those who submit in true humility

He can use for Himself greatly.

Broken, but far from useless

 

Broken, but far from useless

Ah, the world is so clueless!

All the proud God doth resist

But the contrite He’ll enlist

Only broken soil yields crops

Broken clouds offer raindrops.

Broken people: God’s vessel

Lowly hearts ‘neath Him nestle.
