God's Blessed Assurance!

Today is Friday, and as we look to the coming Lord's Day, what a blessed comfort it is to be able to say with Fanny Crosby -- "Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine"!!  Or maybe you would like to sing with Haldor Lillenas this morning --
     "Faith is resting on the promise strong and sure;
Hope is anchored safe and cannot falter;
      Peace has found a haven from the storms, secure---
In the Word of God that cannot alter!"  Praise the Lord today for His inspired, unchanging, steadfast Word of God that changeth never!!!

In the 13th chapter of the wonderful book of Hebrews, we read these words --
     "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."
And I love the beautiful benediction in the concluding verses of that chapter --

     "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do His will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.  Amen."

As we look to the coming Lord's Day, if Jesus tarries, may we be challenged by this quote from Oswald Chambers --
     "My assurance is to be built upon God's assurance to me.  Take a deep spiritual breath.  Take hold of the Father's assurance, and then say with strong courage, 'I will not fear."'  Amen!  God bless you!
