Easter 2013

3/31/13                         HAPPY EASTER!

Rom 11:34  "For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?"

Rom 11:35  "Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?"

Rom 11:36  For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

Why must we hang in there day after day, even when things seem to be going wrong? Because according to Rom 8:28  “we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.....  to be conformed to the image of his Son,”  So if you live to be 109 years old, keep on doing the right thing! And keep His peace with you  as you keep going on, and on, and on, for the glory of God. “Onward, Christian Soldiers!” And be confident! Not in yourself, but in Him!

An old song that was sung in the churches that my parents took me to as a child that we don’t sing much anymore is much more than just a song, it is a prayer and it declares a commitment to enduring the long haul.

          I’m pressing on the upward way,

          New height I’m gaining every day;

          Still praying as I onward bound,

          Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

          Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

          By faith, on heaven’s table land,

          A higher plane than I have found;

          Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
