“But I have trusted in Thy mercy;

my heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation.

I will sing unto the LORD,

because He hath dealt bountifully with me.”

Psalm 13:5-6

Praise from Psalm 46

Tune: O For A Thousand Tongues

1. God is our refuge and our strength,

Our ever-present aid;

And therefore, though the earth remove,

We will not be afraid.

2. A river flows whose streams make glad

The city of our God;

The holy church wherein the Lord

Most High has His abode.

3. The Lord of Hosts is on our side,

All blessings to secure;

The God of Jacob is our God,

A refuge strong and sure.

4. Be still and know that I am God,

O'er all exalted high;

To utmost ends of all the earth

My name shall magnify.

A Saving “Coming to Christ”

“Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden,

and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28

What did our Lord here signify, when He bade all the weary and heavy laden to come unto Him?

It is quite evident that coming to Christ is something more than a physical act. Coming to Christ in the sense He here invited, is a going out of the soul after Him, a desire for Him, a seeking after Him, a personal embracing of and trusting in Him. It is the heart turning from the love of sin to the love of holiness; from SELF to the Savior! A saving coming to Christ denotes a turning our backs upon the world and turning our hearts unto Him as our only Hope and Portion. It is the abandoning of every idol and the surrendering of ourselves to His Lordship. It is the repudiation of our own righteousness and every dependency, and the heart going out to Him in loving submission and trustful confidence. It is the entire going out of SELF with all its resolutions and performances, to cast ourselves upon His grace and mercy. It is the will yielding itself up to His authority to be molded by Him, and to follow Him wherever He may lead.

In short, coming to Christ is the whole soul of a guilty and self-condemned sinner-turning unto a whole Christ, in the exercise of all our facilities, responding to His claims upon us, prepared to unreservedly trust, sincerely love, and devotedly serve Him.

--A.W. Pink

I am not what I once was

I am not what I ought to be. Ah, how imperfect and deficient.

I am not what I wish to be. I abhor what is evil, and I would cleave to what is good.

I am not what I hope to be. Soon I shall put off, with mortality--all sin and imperfection.

Though I am not what I ought to be, nor what I wish to be, nor what I hope to be--I can truly say that I am not what I once was--a slave to sin and Satan. And I can heartily join with the apostle and say that “by the grace of God I am what I am!” 1 Corinthians 15:10 --John Newton

Leave Them There

I know my sins, but I rejoice in His grace. I know my weakness, but I rest in His strength. I know my emptiness, but I am complete in Him. “O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,” all because we do not cast our sins, our souls, on Christ and LEAVE THEM THERE! --Henry Mahan
