“G” – Great is Thy faithfulness      See note

  

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 

2 Timothy 3:16-17

 

 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
1 John 1:8-9
 
"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,

even as God in Christ forgave you..."
Ephesians 4:32
 

 

 Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

 

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Great is Thy faithfulness!

Morning by morning new mercies I see.

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;

Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

 Here is a special message from Voice of the Martyrs, "Extreme Devotion

“Before we finish this funeral service,” her words rang out clearly to the thousand people in attendance, “I want to tell you what my husband told me before dying. He asked me to tell all his murderers that he goes to heaven loving wholeheartedly everybody, including his assassins. He has forgiven all for what they have done because Jesus loves and will also forgive them.”
 
 She stood over her husband’s coffin. There were tears in her eyes, but her voice was strong. The bruises on her body told the mourners that she, too, had been beaten.  As Christians, she and her husband had refused to take a Kikuyu tribal oath that wasn’t consistent with their Christian faith. For this, her husband was beaten to death, and she was beaten and hospitalized.

The crowd was still, silenced by the power of the widow’s words, and her will. Many living in Kenya in 1969 had also faced harassment and attack for valuing their faith over tribal loyalties.

“I, as his widow, also tell all of you, in the presence of my dead husband, that I hate none of those who killed him. I love the killers. I forgive them, knowing that Christ has died for them too.”

No one in attendance that day would ever forget the widow’s words or her example of extreme forgiveness and grace.

The Loneliness of the Christian | Topical Index of Scriptures

If you would like to receive a Scripture and hymn verse via email three times a week, please write us and we'll add you to our list. 

      God has shown us some wonderful ways to abide in His presence in the midst of all kinds of distractions or discouragements. One way is simply to memorize and silently sing His hymns. To help bring them to mind when I need them, I have listed my favorite hymns in alphabetical order. Now, when I wait in line somewhere or ride in a car, I simply follow the alphabet. In His quieting presence, I can silently sing my favorite hymns to myself and to my Lord.

Most of the links below led to the old Cyberhymnal, so they are now broken. The restored links will be colored dark red.

A - Abide with me| All the way my Savior leads me | And can it be| Amazing Grace  All to Jesus| At the cross

B - Be Thou my vision| Beneath the Cross of Jesus or Blessed Assurance or Breathe on me or Be still my soul

C - Complete in Thee|    Close to Thee or Constantly Abiding  or Can the world see Jesus in me? or Come Thou Fount of every blessing

D - Day by Day, Dying with Jesus  or Draw me Nearer

E - Each step I take

F - Fairest Lord Jesus, Face to Face, Follow Jesus, Fill Thou my life or Fairest Lord Jesus or Free from the Law (Once for all) Father I know

G - Great is Thy Faithfulness or God is still on the Throne or God leads His dear children

H - His eye is on the sparrow, How Great Thou Art, He Hideth, He giveth more grace, Hold Thou my hand, Have Thine own way| Halleluja what a Savior

I -  I found a Friend|I'd rather have Jesus| I stand amazed | I know whom| Saved (I've found) |In heavenly love, In the cross of Christ I glory

J - Jesus is all the world to me,* Jesus I am resting| Jesus Calls us, Jesus keep me near, Jesus, my Master, Jesus my all, Jesus the very thought, Jesus shall reign

K - King of my life or  The KING’s Business or Keep me ever close to Thee

L - The Lord's my Shepherd | Lily of the Valley |O Love that wilt not let me go | Loved with Everlasting Love

M - My Jesus as Thou Wilt | My Jesus I love Thee| May the Mind of Christ | More Love to Thee | My faith has found a resting place | Moment by Moment

N - No one understands like Jesus, Nearer my God to Thee, Near the cross, Near to the heart of God, Never alone, Nearer, still nearer,

S - So send I you, Savior more than life to me, Solid Rock or Standing on the Promises, My Savior's Love, Seeking the Lost, Softly and tenderly

T - There is never a day so dreary, Thanks to God, This world is not my home, Take my life,  or Trust and Obey, Trusting Jesus, Turn your eyes upon Jesus

U - Under His wings or Under the blood

V -  Victory in Jesus, Be Thou my Vision  or I take the life of Victory

W -  Who will follow Jesus? What a Friend we have in Jesus, When my life-work is ended, When I survey the wondrous cross, Wonderful Grace of Jesus, We shall see the King some day, What wondrous love is this? or Will your anchor hold or Why should I feel discouraged

 

Years ago, when I first memorized “Jesus, I am resting, resting...” (the hymn China missionary Hudson Taylor would sing to himself when he couldn’t sleep at night), I struggled to remember the start of each new verse. But when I noted the beginning letter of the four verses, they formed a familiar word: JOSE.  With such reminders, I have no problem going right through this and other truth-filled hymns:

Verse 1. Jesus, I am resting, in the joy of what Thou art...

Verse 2. O how great Thy lovingkindness, vaster, broader than the sea....

Verse 3. Simply trusting Thee, Lord Jesus, I behold Thee as Thou art....

Verse 4. Ever lift Thy face upon me, as I work and wait for Thee.

We will continue to post hymns each week .  Every verse will be linked to a Scripture He shows us. May God use these verses to bless you with His Truth and Presence! And may they prepare each of us for the hard times ahead -- especially for the hostilities toward Biblical Christianity certain to follow today's spiritual slide away from God's Truth. and ways.
