“O God, Our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come.
Our Shelter from the stormy blast,
And our Eternal Home!
Under the shadow of Thy throne
Still may we dwell secure
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received its frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
O God, our Help in ages past,
Our Hope for years to come,
Be Thou our Guide while life shall last,
And our Eternal Home.”
From Hymn – “O God Our Help In Ages Past” – By Isaac Watts
I’m coming back to the heart of worship,
and it’s all about You
It’s all about You, Jesus.
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it,
’cause it’s all about You
It’s all about You Jesus.
-Lyrics from “The Heart of Worship” by Matt Redman
“My son, do not take lightly the discipline of ADONAI or lose heart when you are corrected by Him, because ADONAI disciplines the one He loves, and punishes every son He accepts.”
“It is for discipline that you endure, God is treating you as sons– for what son does a father not discipline?”
“Besides, we are used to having human fathers as instructors– and we respect them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live?” …He does so for our benefit, so that we may share in His holiness.”
“Now all discipline seems painful at the moment–not joyful. But later it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”
– Hebrews 12:5-11 TLV
“I am Your child, beloved.
And all of my days
My future is laid in Your promise
Jesus,
To the end of the age
I am not alone or forgotten
So I will not worry or fret
My God is the God who will never forget
All of His goodness and all of His promises
He’s holding my world in His hands”
Lyrics Excerpt from “Holding My World” -by Kristian Stanfill
“Fear not for I have redeemed you,
I have called you by name,
you are Mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you,
or through the rivers,
they will not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned,
nor will the flame burn you.
For I am ADONAI your God,
the Holy one of Israel,
your Savior…
you are precious in My eyes,
honored,
because I love you…”
Isaiah 43:1-4 TLV
Be still, my soul — the LORD is on your side!
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to you God to order and provide.
In every change God faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul–Your best, your heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end.
Be still my soul! Your God will undertake,
To guide the future as in ages past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious will be bright at last.
Be still my soul!
The waves and winds still know,
The Christ who ruled them while He dwelt below.
“Be still my soul…”
Hymn by- Katharina von Schlegel and Jean Sibelius

“I am now, and will forever and eternally be, in awe of God, “Blessed be His Name”, who has been so personally close and near to me, while at the same time being the GREAT GOD of all creation; greater than anyone, anything, anytime, anywhere… in and outside of time, forever and ever… Only God is Awesome”
“There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes, and yet is not cleansed from its filth.
There is a generation whose eyes are so haughty, whose eyelids are lifted up disdainfully.
There is a generation whose teeth are swords and whose molars are knives, to devour the poor from the earth and the needy from humanity.”
“What Does God Require?”
“He has told you, humanity, what is good, and what ADONAI is seeking from you:
Only to practice justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.“
Open your mouth on behalf of those unable to speak,
For the justice of all who are destitute.
Open your mouth,
judge righteously,
plead the cause of the poor and needy.”
Proverbs 30:12-14, Micah 6:8, Proverbs 31:8-9 TLV
“My soul, wait in stillness, only for God —
For from Him comes my expectation.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
My strong tower —
I will never be moved…
My refuge is in God
Trust in Him at all times, you people.
Pour out your heart in His presence.
God is our refuge.” “Selah.” – (which means, pause and think about it. 😊 🍁)

Many will say to Me on that day. ‘Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your Name, and drive out demons in Your Name, and perform many miracles in your Name?’ Then I will declare to them, “I never knew you. Get away from Me, you workers of iniquity!” – Matthew 7:22
“Loved ones, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see if they are from God.
For many false prophets have gone out into the world.”- 1 John 4:1

Hold back those stumbling to slaughter.”
“If you say, “Look, we didn’t know this.”
Won’t He who weighs hearts perceive it?
Won’t He who guards your soul know it?
Won’t He repay each one according to his deeds?”
Partiality in judgement is not good.
Whoever tells the guilty, “You are innocent,”
People curse him
And nations revile him.
But for those who convict the guilty
There will be delight– good blessing will come upon them.”

O LORD my God, When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars. I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed
And when I think,
That God, His Son not sparing,
Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in.
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, My Savior, God to Thee
How Great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, My Savior, God to Thee
How Great Thou art! … How Great Thou art!
From Hymn- “How Great Thou Art” by Carl Boberg/ Stuart K. Hine
“My times are in Your hands…” – Psalm 31:16 TLV

Whatever they may be,
pleasing, painful,
dark , or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.

“The righteous cry out and ADONAI hears,
and delivers them from all their troubles.
ADONAI is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those crushed in spirit.
Many are the distresses of the righteous,
but ADONAI delivers them out of them all.”
Psalms 34:18-19
Every penny bears the reminder, “In God We Trust” but for Job it was personal.
Job said, ” Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” – Job 15:13
Meaning, “Even if He kills me, I will die trusting in Him.” Proof of the trust in God that was rooted in Job.
No matter what. I choose to trust.
Trust in God.

Lean weary one upon His breast, God will take care of you.

“As the day breaks and the shadows flee away,… flee away,
As the day breaks and the shadows flee away,… flee away,
Guide me O Thou Great Jehovah,
Keep me faithful to Thy call,
As the day breaks and the shadows flee away.”
*”Sung by my great-grandmother, to her daughter, my Grandma, when she was growing up, during morning quiet time.”
Song of Songs 2:17
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater;
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase.
To added affliction, He addeth His mercy;
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
His love has no limit; His grace has no measure;
His pow’r has no boundary known unto men.
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed, ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
Hymn by – Annie J.Flint and Huburt Mitchell
“I was blind, now I’m seeing in color, I was dead, now I’m living forever.
I had failed, but You are my Redeemer, I’ve been blessed beyond all measure.
You were there in the valley of shadows, You were there in the depths of my sorrows
You’re my strength, my hope for tomorrow, I’ve been blessed beyond all measure.
I am counting every blessing, counting every blessing.
Letting go and trusting when I cannot see.
I am counting every blessing, counting every blessing.
Surely, every season You are good to me.”
“Counting Every Blessing” – lyrics by Rend Collective
