Shut out the world with all its distractionsAll of its noise and empty attractionsAnd shut me in, LordTo the presence of Your glory
Shut out my cares and all of my worriesAll of my fears and all of my hurriesAnd shut me in, LordTo the presence of Your glory

musings… passion for God or His gifts??
I think that God brings “opportunities” into our lives to see where our idols are … to see where our heart lies and where we deceive ourselves … to lovingly guide us to areas where He’s not enough so that we can fight sin more effectively … so that we will once again realize our [...]

I Look to Thee in Every Need
I look to Thee in every need,and never look in vain;I feel Thy strong and tender love,and all is well again.The thought of Thee is mightier farthan sin and pain and sorrow are.Discouraged in the work of life,disheartened by its load,Shamed by its failures or its fears,I sink beside the road.But let me only think [...]

… thoughts on His immutability
How thankful I am that You never change. My life consists of one change after another, being tossed from one wave to the next, climbing one mountain to only find myself yet again in a valley. In the valleys Lord, in the times when I feel lost with no direction, how grateful I am that [...]

Neither is thy soul beyond the reach of the promise, nor does God withdraw Himself; but the vapours of thy carnal, unbelieving heart do [...]

Consolation
The sovereignty of God in all things is an unfailing ground for consolation; he rules and reigns whatever happens, and therefore all is well.

Let my Cry Come to Thee…
It would be the direst of all our woes if we could be indisputably convinced that with God there is neither hearing nor answering; he who could argue us into so dreary a belief would do us no better service than if he had read us our death-warrants. Better die than be denied the mercy-seat. [...]

The Unsearchable Riches of Christ
“To read much and practise nothing, is to hunt much and catch nothing.”
“All the sighing, mourning, sobbing, and complaining in the world, doth not so undeniably evidence a man to be humble, as his overlooking his own righteousness, and living really and purely upon the righteousness of Christ. This is the greatest demonstration of [...]
