THE GLORIOUS RESURRECTION!

The cherubs on their harps will play
To usher in this Easter Day
While angels sing in sweet accord
The glory of our risen Lord.
But humble man must kneel and pray--
His Resurrection sets us free to say--
"The stain of sin I bear no more!
Christ's sacrifice has made me pure."

HAPPY EASTER!

April 24

What is one to do when fear raises its ugly head? What is one to do when confronted with financial ruin or with physical illness or with relational upheaval? What is one to do when the waves of an impending storm threaten to devastate all that is held dear?

There are self-help gurus who offer copious books containing information that is designed to afford assistance in plying through the quagmire of life’s problems—or at least to make the author wealthy in the process of selling his ideas!

But in the depth of the spirit of a man at the point of his extremity is the quiet reminder that there is but One who is worthy of his complete confidence at the crossroad where he needs help in deciding which way to turn; at the point where he needs wisdom beyond his own to assure that the path he chooses will lead where he desires to go.

At that juncture, at that pivot point where it is absolutely imperative that the right choice is made, that the correct path is taken, the Word of God gives encouragement. In Deuteronomy 31:6 the Lord’s word to His people is, “Be strong and of a good courage. Do not be afraid…for the Lord your God is with you…He will never forsake you.” Never!
