AMEN OHIO AND BLESS YOU!
AMEN ALL!
GRACE TO YOU BRETHREN AND I PRAY THE LORD KEEPS YOU!

Ps 141:1 A Psalm of David. LORD, I cry out to You; Make haste to me! Give ear to my voice when I cry out to You.
2 Let my prayer be set before You as incense, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips.
4 Do not incline my heart to any evil thing, To practice wicked works With men who work iniquity; And do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the righteous strike me; It shall be a kindness. And let him rebuke me; It shall be as excellent oil; Let my head not refuse it. For still my prayer is against the deeds of the wicked.
6 Their judges are overthrown by the sides of the cliff, And they hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Our bones are scattered at the mouth of the grave, As when one plows and breaks up the earth.
8 But my eyes are upon You, O GOD the Lord; In You I take refuge; Do not leave my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, And from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I escape safely.
(NKJV}


"His place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be
given him; his waters shall be sure."
- Isaiah 33:16



Do you doubt, O Christian, do you doubt as to whether God will fulfil his
promise? Shall the munitions of rock be carried by storm? Shall the
storehouses of heaven fail? Do you think that your heavenly Father, though
he knoweth that you have need of food and raiment, will yet forget you?
When not a sparrow falls to the ground without your Father, and the very
hairs of your head are all numbered, will you mistrust and doubt him?
Perhaps your affliction will continue upon you till you dare to trust your
God, and then it shall end. Full many there be who have been tried and
sore vexed till at last they have been driven in sheer desperation to
exercise faith in God, and the moment of their faith has been the instant
of their deliverance; they have seen whether God would keep his promise or
not. Oh, I pray you, doubt him no longer! Please not Satan, and vex not
yourself by indulging any more those hard thoughts of God. Think it not a
light matter to doubt Jehovah. Remember, it is a sin; and not a little sin
either, but in the highest degree criminal. The angels never doubted him,
nor the devils either: we alone, out of all the beings that God has
fashioned, dishonour him by unbelief, and tarnish his honour by mistrust.
Shame upon us for this! Our God does not deserve to be so basely
suspected; in our past life we have proved him to be true and faithful to
his word, and with so many instances of his love and of his kindness as we
have received, and are daily receiving, at his hands, it is base and
inexcusable that we suffer a doubt to sojourn within our heart.
May we henceforth wage constant war against doubts of our God-enemies to
our peace and to his honour; and with an unstaggering faith believe that
what he has promised he will also perform.
"Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief.
"

C.H.SPURGEON


SOLI DEO GLORIA!
