Project 365: In His Strength

Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

In His Strength

Tim was weak and tired today. He went straight to bed after we got home from church this morning. He slept for a couple of hours and then was up. He was still planning on teaching in the evening service. And, he did.

He was worried about being able to stand long enough to make it through his lesson. Fifty-two minutes later, he was still standing as he closed in prayer! Thank You, LORD!

The thunderstorm rolled in around us, but I don't think we got a drop of rain!

But, that's OK. At least the clouds brought in cooler air! Cool enough that I was able to put up the new church sign for the week. "The key to peace is the presence of God not absence of conflict" taken from a book I am reading by Elizabeth George. I pray you have the peace that passes all understanding in Jesus Christ the Lord!

Have a great week!

I love the quote for the sign. I think I need to write that one down and think on it for a while.; July 24, 2017 at 9:03 AM
