Are you feeling overwhelmed with the cares of life today? You don't need to -- just spend a little time in God's Book and your heart will soon be singing as you feast on a few of His precious promises!
Meditate a little while on the wonderful words in Isaiah 41:10: "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness."
Perhaps the sweet promise in Isaiah 40:31 is just what you need today: "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." Now, go to the throne of grace, and Jesus will meet you there! Praise the Lord!
I love this sweet poem by Edith Divall. I trust it will be a blessing to you today!
"Tell Jesus when life's burdens seem too great for you to bear;
Go lay it at the feet of Christ, and know that He will care;
And tell Him all the little things that come to cloud your way,
The trials and perplexities that trouble you today.
Tell Jesus all there is to tell about your daily needs --
About the dim uncertainties through which your pathway leads --
About the cherished hopes that lie crushed lifeless at your feet --
The golden dreams left unfulfilled, the labors incomplete.
If you could know how tenderly He makes our cares His own,
You would not stand apart again and bear your load alone;
You would not miss the joy and peace of walking at His side,
Of finding tempest changed to calm, and sorrow sanctified.
I tell Him all the story now; no other friend can be,
In morning light or evening shade, what Jesus is to me.
His human heart is still the same, today as yesterday,
And in His love I find my rest, and in His strength my stay."
