OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

"For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death."

Psalms 48:14

King James Version

Mrs. Alice A. Harper wrote a beautiful hymn "LET ME WALK WITH THEE". If ever we needed our Heavenly Father, it is now! This world is full of violence and satan is doing his best to discourage us from serving Jesus.

"Father, let me feel Thy presence; Come, dear Lord, abide with me, I am thirsting for Thy guidance, Let me daily walk with Thee. Father, guide me, lest I perish, Lead me, Jesus, evermore; To the living fount of waters, For my feet are bruised and sore."

Just as Jesus stayed on the cross for us, we need to stay on the battlefield for Jesus. Our Saviour has warned us to be on the alert for the attacks of satan. We read this in the Bible.

"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:" 1 Peter 5:7, 8

Rev. Elisha Albright Hoffman wrote the beautiful hymn "I MUST TELL JESUS". It is so true that we must tell Jesus because only our loving Saviour can heal a broken heart.

"I must tell Jesus all of my trials; I cannot bear these burdens alone; In my distress He kindly will help me; He ever loves and cares for His own."

Thank You, Jesus, for caring and for never leaving us. You are so precious to me and one happy joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.

If you have never asked God to forgive you for your sins and invited Jesus to be your personal Saviour, do it now even as you read this devotion. Don't miss out on spending eternity with the One Who loves you so much He died for you.
