Monday Meditation: Living By Faith

 

 

 

 "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you
with My righteous right hand."
(Isaiah 41:10)

I care not today what

The morrow may bring,

If shadow or sunshine or rain.

The Lord I know ruleth o'er everything,

And all my worries are vain.

Living by faith in Jesus above,

Trusting, confiding in His great love; 

From all harm safe in His sheltering arm,

I'm living by faith and feel no alarm. 

Though tempests may blow,

And the storm clouds arise,

Obscuring the brightness of life,

I'm never alarmed at the overcast skies-

The Master looks on at the strife. 

 
I know that He safely

Will carry me through,

No matter what evils betide;

Why should I then care,

Though the tempest may blow,

If Jesus walks close to my side. 

Our Lord will return for

His loved ones some day,

Our troubles will then all be o'er;

The Master so gently will lead us away,

Beyond that blest heavenly shore.

 

Living by faith in Jesus above,

Trusting, confiding in His great love; 

From all harm safe in His sheltering arm,

I'm living by faith and feel no alarm.
