February 7 – For Thy name’s sake

Hello everybody,
How are you doing on this day? I hope well. I am fine, here in Boston, with the weather causing me to sing out quite a bit, especially when you transition from outside to inside a building or a vehicle or vice versa. But it is well. The Lord who made the seasons will make all elements work in our favour in Jesus name, Amen. And so David prays in Psalm 31 v 17:

“Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon Thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave.”

But we know:

“I will extol Thee, O LORD; for Thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.” Psalm 30v1

One thing I love about being a Christian, is the hope that we have. We know that nothing lasts forever and that heaven and earth may pass away, but the Word of the Lord does not. He is faithful and true, and no matter what we experience each day, it will come to pass. Keep the faith!

Verses for thought:
“Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him.” James 1v12

‘Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1v19&20
