Lily of the Valley

 

 

Dear One, what a wonderful Father God we have. If you've ever found yourself at a loss for words, then you can understand what I'm about to say. There are times when I simply feel like praising the Lord, because He is so wonderful; and yet it seems that too soon I run out of words and phrases to express myself.  It's as if there aren't enough words in the dictionary to truly describe our God. When I think of His character, all that He really is and that He so lovingly does for His children; it's totally beyond our ability to communicate in words.

 

It is such a blessing to take a few minutes just to meditate on our Father and how richly He has blessed us. If you've never done it, take a pen and paper and write down all the words that come to your mind, when you stop and think about the Lord, and who He is and how He has blessed you. I believe you'll find that you just might run out of paper, if not I'm sure you'll run out of words, just as I have.

 

Still, in the end you may feel inadequate for we are so limited by our vocabulary. And the Lord is so much more and so much greater, than any mere words - we can conjure up to describe Him and  praise Him — could ever effectively convey. I highly recommend taking the time to praise Him regularly, for when you do it will glorify Him and bless you, as well. Besides, do it, if for no other reason, because He's worth it! Isn't He?

 

Read Psalms chapter 34 and then focus on verse 1:  His praise will always be on my lips.

Read Psalms chapter 63 and then focus on verse 4:  I will praise you as long as I live.

 

Read at least one chapter of Psalms and one of Proverbs daily for it is the   -  Medicine for the soul.       

                                             

Enjoy, Enjoy, Enjoy it!

 

 

 

 

THE LILY OF THE VALLEY

 

 

He's the Lily of the Valley,

The Bright and Morning Star,

He's the sweetest Rose of Sharon,

Most Beautiful by far.

 

He's the God of Grace and Glory

The Way, the Truth, the Life,

He will calm your deepest fears and

Remove your sin and strife.

 

He's Creator and Sustainer

Your Father and Best Friend,

He would never ever leave you...

He'll be with you to the end.

 

He's Light that shines in the Darkness...

So you can find your way

He heals the brokenhearted and

 Then turns their night to day.

 

He said, "When you feel alone just

Call out and I'll be there.

Although others may forsake you

You know I wouldn't dare.

 

Make My Word Your compass...it's not...

Simply another book;

It will quickly ease your pain

If you'll just take a look.

 

All your friends may walk away but...

You can depend on me,

I'll make the lame to walk again

And cause the blind to see.

 

I'm all that you'll ever need and

Leave you - I would never,

I'll be with you for Eternity

That's infinitely forever.
