Streams of Living Waters

As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for You, O’ God.

 My soul thirsts for the living God. Psalm 42:1

 

 

Let our goal be in God Himself

Not joy, nor peace, not even His sweet blessings

But seeking, searching for God Himself.

Let our faith bound forward to its goal of God alone

Where our thirst will be quenched by His unfailing love.

For its faith and love which will lead us there,

Upheld and encouraged by Him our soul to follow hard. Press on, press on

And in that secret place alone with Him, our deepest thirst be quenched in peace-we rest

One thing is sure, one thing we can do step by step is press onward always thirsty still

Joyfully giving God our glory here and there as along we go in life’s journey

Knowing it is heaven where we will reap our great reward in streams of Living Water.

Fresh Every Day the Sign Declared

 

 

 

 

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:

Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”

The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.”

 Lamentations 3:22-26

 

Fresh Every Day the Sign Declared

Fresh every day! This was the sign in the widow of the little bakery in my old neighborhood declared when I was a little girl. And no every questioned the freshness. For they all knew the baker was there every single morning. Walking or driving by you could see him busily putting his freshly baked goods out on the counter. And oh my, those heavenly fragrances which poured out through the doors was the best evidence ever!

There isn’t much we can depend on every day to there for us fresh and new. But we can all depend God’s promise of His compassions no matter what, where, or how often we need Him.  Like the little bakery back home, God’s love comes fresh for our needs single day. One day at a time, with promises of bright hope for it to continue to eternity. When we come and pray and sense His presence around us we discover it comes as an aroma sweet and refreshing to our souls.

And we can today still enjoy singing with joy, this great old hymn:

 “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, and ten thousand beside!”

Greater than Our Mountains

 

 

Ellensburg WA North Cascade Peaks by Dee Kamp

 

 

Cast all your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you;

He will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22      

 Sometimes our cares appear as huge as a mountain. But as we stand on the promises of God and cast all worries and cares on Him, we are assured He will sustain us, stand beside us and show us there is no mountain greater than His power and lover over us.

 

“Take then the faith of God,

Free from the taint of doubt;

The miracle-working rod

That casts all reason out.

It will be done, stand on the Word

Challenge your mountain in the Lord!

From: Streams in the Desert

Strength from Our Rock

 

I love you, LORD, you are my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savoir; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.

Psalm 18:1-2 NLT

“Lord, you are my Strength―I need not worry when I feel too weak or too small.

Lord you are Rock―You cannot be moved, you are mighty and will never fall.

Lord you are my Savior―I am redeemed and so blessed you lift me up beyond all walls.

Lord you are my Protection― I’m always certain you’ll catch me when I fall.

Lord, you are my Shield― surrounding me by your love, I will not worry at all.

Lord, you are the Power― and by your Spirit I am reassured you hear my call.”

Trusting His Knowledge

Let the morning bring me word

of your unfailing love

 for I have put my trust in you.

Show me the way I should go,

 for to you I will lift up my soul.

Psalm 143:8

 

“A Christian is someone who trusts in the knowledge and the wisdom of God, not in his own abilities. If we have a purpose of our own it destroys the simplicity and the calm, relaxed pace which should be characteristic of the children of God.” Oswald Chamber, My Utmost for His Highest

Hope in Jars of Clay

 

Hope in Jars of Clay

For we do not preach ourselves,

but Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”

made his light shine in our hearts to give us

 the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

 But we have this treasure in jars of clay

 to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us.

2 Corinthians 4:5-7 NIV

 

 

"Give me the Love that leads the way
The Faith that nothing can dismay
The Hope no disappointments tire
The Passion that'll burn like fire
Let me not sink to be a clod
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God"
— Amy Carmichael

His Hopeful Word Verse for Today Isaiah 43

 

 

“I am the LORD, your Holy One, Israel’s Creator, your King.”

This is what the LORD says― he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty

waters, who drew out the chariots and horses, the army and reinforcements together,

 and they lay there, never to rise again, extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”

Isaiah 43:15-19 NIV

Through Isaiah, a glorious promise, a song of hope to us radiates His mercy and grace to all His people. God’s mercy and love that says to us, “Comfort, comfort my people, I am here and I will make a way for you.”
