The Pilot

It is nor for us who are passengers, to meddle with the chart
and with the compass.

Let that all- skilled Pilot alone with
His own work. –  Hall

“Some things cannot be done in a day. God does not make a
sunset glory in a moment, but for days may be massing the
mist out of which He builds His palaces beautiful in the west.”
Selected

Some glorious morn–but when? Ah, who shall say?
The steepest mountain will become a plain, And the parched
land be satisfied with rain. The gates of brass all broken;
iron bars, Transfigured, form a ladder to the stars.
Rough places plain, and crooked ways all straight, For him
who with a patient heart can wait. These things shall be on
God’s appointed day: It may not be tomorrow–yet it may.

The Lion Of Judah

 

 

 

This is what the Lord says to me:  “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey— and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against him, he is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor— so the Lord Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.

Isaiah 31: 4

 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Deuteronomy 31:6


of Faith and Fruit

 

Obedience is the fruit of faith;

 patience, the bloom of the fruit.

 

Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)


The Mind

The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell,
a Hell of Heaven.          John Milton (1609-1674)

 


In the Deep

Others went out on the sea in ships;
they were merchants on the mighty waters.
They saw the works of the Lord,
his wonderful deeds in the deep.    Psalm 107: 23, 24

 

Let not my faith be wrecked amid storms and shoals; Bring me to harbour with flying pennants, hull unbreached, cargo unspoiled.                               

I ask great things, expect great things, shall receive
great things. I venture on thee wholly, fully, my wind, sunshine,
anchor, defence. The voyage is long, the waves high, the storms pitiless, but my helm is held steady, thy Word secures safe passage,
thy grace wafts me onward, my haven guaranteed….Help me, protect me in the moving sea until I reach the shore of unceasing praise.
Valley of Vision p. 202 & 203
