Good evening to all. Today is the day the Lord has made, praise His name.
Coming In On a Wing and a Prayer
Circa 1943
Lyric by Harold Adamson, Music by Jimmy McHugh
Comin In On A WING and a PRAYER
One of our planes was miss-ing, two ho-ours o-ver due.
One of our planes was miss-ing, with all its gal-lant crew.
The ra-di-o sets were hum-ming, they wait-ed for a word;
Then a voice broke thru the hum-ming and this is what they heard:
Chorus
“Com-in’ In On A Wing And A Pray’r_______
Com-in’ In On A Wing And A Pray’r_______
Tho’ there’s one mo-tor gone, we can still car-ry on,
Com-in’ In On A Wing And A Pray’r_______
What a show_____ what a fight______
Yes, we real-ly hit our tar-get for to - night!
How we sing as we limp thru the air______
Look be - low, there’s our field o-ver there____
With our full crew a- board and our trust in the Lord
we’re Com-in’ In On A Wing And A Pray’r_______
Parents love to remember the developmental milestones of their children. They will record in a baby book when their little ones first roll over, then crawl, and take their first steps. Often they will take photographs and save baby clothing to bring back the memories of those precious experiences.
According to Luke 2:19, Mary, the mother of Jesus, kept a baby book of sortsin her heart. She treasured the promises that had been given about her Son and pondered them. The Greek word for ponder means placing together for comparison. Mary had heard of great things concerning her Son from angels and shepherds (1:32; 2:17-18). As His life unfolded, she would compare those promises with how her Son acted to fulfill them.
Our faith will be strengthened and we will be encouraged when we meditate on what the Scriptures say about God and compare it with the way He works in our own lives (John 14:21). He is a God who answers prayer (1 John 5:14-15), comforts us in our suffering (2 Cor. 1:3-4), and provides for our needs (Phil. 4:19).
When we take time to ponder, we will see the faithfulness of our great God.
Read: Luke 2:8-19
Maddi is walking. Woo-Hoo.
