God's Holy Word is filled with so many wonderful promises to bless and encourage us as we walk the road of life! I love these blessed words in the 13th chapter of Hebrews:
"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me."
When I try to contemplate the awful price Jesus paid to purchase my salvation on Calvary, it challenges me in the following words by an unknown author to Lean, Pray, Trust, and Love "A Little Bit More"!
"Are you discouraged and weary of the endless toil and care?
Do you feel that your burden is greater than you have the strength to bear?
'My strength is made perfect in weakness'---this thought comes to you over and over;
Now believe in the word of God's promise, and Lean just a little bit more.
Have you temptations and trials surrounding you day by day?
Your feet--do they sometimes stumble as you travel the rough, narrow way?
Be careful--oh, yes! and courageous--for often the lions will roar,
But gird on your armor more tightly, and Pray just a little bit more.
Has sorrow encompassed your pathway with all of its various darts?
And often you cross, as you travel, The Valley of Broken Hearts;
Your eyes--with tears oft are blinded--you scarcely can see on before.
Place your hand in the hand of the Master, and Trust just a little bit more.
Perhaps some grave error in judgment has shaken your faith in the good;
Or, you have been criticized harshly--your motives been misunderstood;
And you feel for a time so discouraged--your heart is wounded and sore--
But keep right on praying and trusting--and Love just a little bit more."
May God bless you as you keep on Leaning, Praying, Trusting and Loving--just a little bit more!!
