A Good Prayer to start the new year

Christmas is not a serene fairytale. The thread of God's salvation plan was stitched through dark cloth. But it did not break.

On Father's Day I'm thankful for
my father who is now at home with his heavenly father
for the privilege of being father to such wonderful gracious children
for father figures in my life who have challenged loved and prayed for me
For my Heavenly Father who is faithful always

Enjoying pondering on The Mindfulness Of God. Not one of the best known of his attributes but precious and repeatedly referred to in the Bible, not least in Luke 1, as Mary sang "my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour because he had been mindful of me...."

Your covenant you can’t forget
Blood sealed it all and paid the debt;
I know with eyes on Jesus set
You will remember me!

@glenscrivener Pro choice = pro selfishness which is the very antithesis of love

[David Sprouse @sprouse_david]

@glenscrivener One of my favourite hymns inclds:

Should earthly pleasures wane, and joy forsake me,
and lonely hours of pain at length o’ertake me;
my hand in thine hold fast till sorrow be o’erpast,
and gentle death at last for heaven awake me.

Yes gentle death because it is in Jesus' hands

Is this the cleverst chapter ending in a historical analysis? It made me nod, smile and wince all one go!

@DrMarkPickett Good question, but would Charles Wesley: a) be thrilled to have his line credited to Watts, b) be annoyed that he was forgotten, c) assume it was a deliberate attempt for a Calvinist to steel all the best hymns?

[David Sprouse @sprouse_david]

Whether I fly with angels, fall with dust,
Thy hands made both, and I am there;
Thy power and love, my love and trust,
Make one place ev'rywhere.

[David Sprouse @sprouse_david]

Very struck by the powerful, poignant description of trust in God in George Herbert's Temper:

Yet take thy way; for sure thy way is best:
Stretch or contract me thy poor debtor:
This is but tuning of my breast,
To make the music better.
