STILL, STILL WITH THEE
SONG DEVOTIONAL
Beloved, one of the greatest blessings of salvation is the daily fellowship we have with our precious Lord Jesus. Through Jesus' death and resurrection, we have been brought into the very presence of Almighty God and invited to fellowship and walk with Him each day. Beloved, how astonishing and wonderful is that! Jesus is not a distant Savior but an ever-present Shepherd who delights in the fellowship with His blood-bought sheep.
Whether in the quietness of the morning, the responsibilities of the day, or the stillness of the evening, Jesus remains with us always. He feeds us and strengthens us through His Word; He comforts us by His Spirit, and faithfully guides us in the paths of RIGHTEOUSNESS for His great Name's sake. O the sweet sweet fellowship with Jesus in RIGHTEOUSNESS! How it makes the heart to sing!
Beloved, what a privilege it is to begin each day with the simple desire: "Still, still with Thee." As we abide in Him, we grow in His agape love, we feed on His Word, we reflect on His RIGHTEOUS character, and find our greatest delight in His ETERNAL presence. One day, beloved, the fellowship we enjoy by faith in this fallen nature and world will become perfect ETERNAL sight as we dwell with our precious Savior's presence FOREVERMORE.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS
Am I making time each day to enjoy sweet abiding fellowship with the Lord? How am I experiencing Jesus' sweet presence and faithfulness in my personal daily walk? What can I do today to abide more closely with my Jesus?
PRAYER
Heavenly Father,
Thank You so much for the wonderful privilege of walking with You each day. Thank You that through Jesus Christ I can enjoy fellowship with You and know Your faithful presence in every circumstance. Help me to abide in You, to treasure Your Word, and to delight in Your love until the day I see You face to face.
I ask these things in Your precious Name, Lord Jesus; even so come, Amen.

I love the old gospel songs that are full of grace and truth and God’s love. Like to see the good ones make it back to worship services with orchestration rather than the rock and roll version...
Thank you. This blessed me this morning.
