My Jesus I Love Thee – lyrics by William R. Featherstone

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary’s tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

I’ll love Thee in life, I will love Thee in death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath;
And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I’ll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I’ll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, ’tis now.

GOD’S BANNER OF TRUTH!

Psalm 60:4 – Devotional

Psalm 60:4

“Fear not for I am with you; do not be depressed for I am your God. I will strengthen you, help you and uphold you with My righteous right hand.”

At the beginning of the Olympic Games there is the parade of nations. A flag identifies a nation and each nation proudly follows the flag bearer who holds high the symbol of that nation.

One of the iconic images from WWII was the placing of the flag on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima, on February 23, 1945, by six US Marines. Days after the raising of the flag, three of the six were killed in combat.

Jesus left us the task of reaching the world and making disciples of all nations. His flag over us propels us to give our all for His great cause. Some have paid with their life in order to rally around the flag of Christ.

Let me close today with the pledge to the Christian Flag: “I pledge allegiance to the Christian flag, and to the Savior for whose Kingdom it stands; one Savior, crucified, risen, and coming again with life and liberty for all who believe.”

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

WATCH YOUR MOUTH!

Psalm 19:14 – Devotional

Psalm 19:14

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.”

How many times have we said something that caused us embarrassment? We immediately had the urge to yank the words back into our mouth, but it was too late and the damage was done.

Insulting words leave lasting impressions on others who hear them. Words spoken in anger or resentment will last for a long time in the minds of those who are the recipients of our thoughtless outburst. Are you feeling a little uncomfortable right now? It does little good to say we are sorry after we have used words in a way that causes pain to another.

During WWII there was a slogan that was prominently displayed everywhere: LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS! The meaning was that spies might be listening for information that might be passed on to the enemy and used to cause harm and even loss of life.

In like manner we need to make Psalm 19:14 a regular part of our prayer life. The words we speak will be a reflection of the time we spend with the Lord in prayer and meditation upon His word.

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
