A New Week!

Yesterday morning, how wonderful it was to prepare for the first service back in our church since the Virus began weeks ago!  And what a special blessing it was to enter the sanctuary and worship with the family of God in person, after meeting online for a number of weeks!  I'm sure we all agreed with the Psalmist when he said in Psalm 122:1 -- "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord."
And now--it is Monday -- so how shall we begin this new week of living for Jesus?  Well, I think it might be good for us to begin by meditating on this wonderful poem by Margaret Bogart, entitled, "Is Anything Too Hard for Me?"

     "Just last week as I was praying, I opened up God's Word--
And saw the biggest question there that I had ever heard.
      For right in my opened Bible---in letters black and bold---
I read the greatest challenge that a Christian heart could hold!

      'Is there any thing too hard for Me?'  That's what My Bible said,
And now, ever since I read it--it's been going through my head.

       'Is anything too difficult---or is it too severe---
That I, the Lord, can't work it out if you will persevere?'

      And now, no matter what comes up, I can't get on my knees
And say -- 'Dear Lord, this is too hard.'  Will you excuse me, please?'
      No, nothing is too hard for Him, for there hasn't been a need--
That wasn't fully answered as my faith took hold indeed!"

I am thankful today that there is Nothing too hard or impossible for our God, but I am also challenged by the fact that -- "without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."  Praise the Lord!!
