I will Praise the LORD for his ever present help this morning.
I recall, and hope to never forget, again, that our trials are of a LIMITED duration(no matter how long), which He controls and designs for our good and His Glory.
I thank Him for showing us the water heater was about to blow before it did, so we could do what we needed to do at 3:30 AM.
Relief was rapid and we can see he prepared us for this yesterday.
While this is a small, but annoying thing, nevertheless, in all things I give Him thanks.
The LORD is good to us all day long and in the night too.
Somebody shout Hallelujah for the Love of our Good Shepherd!
Alleluia!
God works in the little as well as the large, Praise His name!
My Soul was Very Blessed this Day to Read More Verses from Madame de la Mothe Guion, who Made Such an Impression Upon our Brother William Cowper that he Translated her French Poems into the English Language for us. It is Glorious, All the Manifold Ways our Christ Works through His Body Upon Earth to Bless His Saints!
She Wrote these Verses while Imprisoned in the Bastille for her Faith in our Savior-King:
...Nor exile I nor prison fear;
Love makes my courage great;
I find a Saviour every where,
His grace in every state.
Nor castle walls, nor dungeons deep,
Exclude his quickening beams;
There I can sit, and sing, and weep,
And dwell on heavenly themes.
There sorrow, for his sake, is found
A joy beyond compare;
There no presumptuous thoughts abound,
No pride can enter there.
A Saviour doubles all my joys,
And sweetens all my pains,
His strength in my defence employs,
Consoles me and sustains.
Thank You, our Holy One, for Your Every Quickening Grace. Our Life, our Master, our Lord, how we Love to Exalt Thy Sweet Name. You are our Joy and our Strength, our Health and our Peace, the Light that Leads us to our Home. For Your Glory we Live, to Your Praise we Sing; You are our Never-Failing, Faithful God. We Love You, we Worship You, and our Eyes are Upon the Eastern Skies. Come and Take us to be with Thee, our Loving Lord. In our Jesus' Name, be Adored and Loved Forever, amen.
Regarding your water heater situation---I can't tell you how many times we have had car problems (flat tires, dead batteries) that were discovered in our own driveway! Praise God for keeping us from being stranded on the highway!
Joining you in praise and in hallelujahs to our Good Savior.
