I Will Trust When I Cannot See

 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all your ways acknowledge Him
And He will direct your path.
Proverbs 3:5-6

When I do not understand God’s leading
When I do not know the reason why
He should choose the path that lies before me
Still to Him in faith I can reply:

I will trust when I cannot see
When I’m faced with adversity
And believe Your will is always best for me
I will trust when I cannot see

My Choice

Wait Quietly

Let all that I am
wait quietly before God,
for my hope is in Him.
Psalm 62:5

 

Scripture from New Living Translation

Strength

Isaiah 45:5-6

Beside Still Waters

 God, my shepherd!
I don’t need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
You find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to Your word,
You let me catch my breath
and send me in the right direction.
Psalm 23:1-3
(The Message)

My Prayer

   Lord,
may the words of my mouth
and the thoughts of my heart
be pleasing in your eyes.
You are my Rock and my Redeemer.

Psalm 19:14

Let Your Light Shine

Let your light shine in front of others.
Then they will see the good things you do.
And they will praise your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

 

 

Scripture from New International Reader’s Version

Beautiful

How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the messenger who brings good news,
the good news of peace and salvation,
the news that the God of Israel reigns! 

Isaiah 52:7

(Dedicated to our dear friends, Bill and Mary, who bring the good news to people who are often forgotten and alone in the southeast corner of Colorado – a missionfield here in the United States.  We spent a couple of days with them while on vacation and our hearts were touched by the needs and by their love for the people of that area. You can read about their ministry here and enjoy Mary’s blog here.)

Linking to Think On These Things.

Sing Praise

Come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come to him with thanksgiving.
Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
For the Lord is a great God,
a great King above all gods.
He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
and the mightiest mountains.
The sea belongs to him, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land, too.
Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord our maker.
Psalm 95:1-6

Faith

Faith makes us sure of what we hope for
and gives us proof of what we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:1

Rejoice And Be Joyful!

Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
yet I will rejoice in the LORD!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
The Sovereign LORD is my strength!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer,

able to tread upon the heights.
Habakkuk 3:17-19

Thy Word

I've banked your promises in the vault of my heart
so I won't sin myself bankrupt.
Be blessed, God; train me in your ways of wise living.

Scripture Version: The Message

The Greatest Of These

And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
I Corinthians 13:13

Limited Vision

We don't yet see things clearly.
We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist.
But it won't be long before the weather clears
and the sun shines bright!
We'll see it all then,
see it all as clearly as God sees us,
knowing him directly just as he knows us!

I Corinthians 13:12

(The Message)

The Light Has Come

The people who sat in darkness
have seen a great light.
And for those who lived in the land
where death casts its shadow, a light has shined.
Matthew 4:16

Faithfulness And Truth

O Lord, You are my God;
I will exalt You, I will praise Your name,
For You have done wonderful things,
even purposes planned of old
and fulfilled in faithfulness and truth.
Isaiah 25:1

Scripture:  Amplified Bible

The Source Of Light

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the skies.

Your righteousness is like the highest mountains,
your justice like the great deep.
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals.

How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

They feast on the abundance of your house;
you give them drink from your river of delights.

For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light we see light.
Psalm 36:5-9

Blessing and Praise

Blessed be the name of the Lord
from this time forth and forever.

From the rising of the sun
to the going down of it
and from east to west,
the name of the Lord is to be praised!

The Lord is high above all nations,
and His glory above the heavens!

Psalm 113:2-4   

The Way Of Life

You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.
