Timely Tidbits of Truth 70, In God We Trust

Timely Tidbits of Truth 70, In God We Trust
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

We can trust in God because—

His kingdom is unshakable.

His throne is incorruptible. 

His glory is indescribable.

His Word is infallible.

His greatness is unsearchable.

His power is invincible.

His favor is invaluable.

His grace is inexpressible.

His love is undeniable.

It is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God… (Psalm 73:28 KJV).

God Will Not Fail You

God Will Not Fail You
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

When you walk through a dark valley
No fear shall grip your soul.
When you’re climbing a steep mountain
His hand will not let go.

When you’re waiting for an answer
To a prayer in Jesus’s name
It will soon be granted to you—
You won’t be brought to shame.

There’s not a promise He’s ever broken
Nothings failed that He has said.
He will not forsake you
Like the sparrow you’ll be fed.

God will not fail you
He will not leave you alone.
God will not fail you
He will not forsake His own.

When in a time of suffering
You’re seeking for His touch
His presence will not turn away—
He loves you much too much.

When the pain of a great trial
Seems to tear your heart in two
His arms reach out in mercy
To sustain and comfort you.

There’s not a promise He’s ever broken
Nothings failed that He has said.
He will not forsake you
Like the sparrow you’ll be fed.

God will not fail you
He will not leave you alone.
God will not fail you
He will not forsake His own.

Scriptures to Encourage Us in Prayer

Scriptures to Encourage Us in Prayer

-Roy Lessin

Hello Friends! The next few weeks we will be presenting scriptures that Roy has compiled to encourage us in prayer. We pray that it enables you to have a fruitful prayer life, and that you see the benefits of praying more! -Marina

An Invitation to Pray

 

Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, His body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water (Hebrews 10:19-22 NIV).

 

I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men (1 Timothy 2:1 KJV).

Answered Prayer

 

To the Lord I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy hill (Psalm 3:4 NIV).

 

Answer me when I call to You, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer (Psalm 4:1 NIV).

 

You have granted him the desire of his heart and have not withheld the request of his lips (Psalm 21:2 NIV).

 

I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; He saved him out of all his troubles (Psalm 34:4-6 NIV).

 

I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry (Psalm 40:1 NIV).

 

God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer. Praise be to God,

who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me! (Psalm 66:19-20 NIV).

Timely Tidbits of Truth 69, Rest

Timely Tidbits of Truth 69, Rest
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
 
“Rest” is a word unique to the Gospel. Jesus said,  “Come unto Me” because He is the only one who can give rest for our souls. There is no rest to be found outside of Him, only works, strife, and restlessness.
 
Rest is the putting down of our burdens and picking up God’s peace in its place. We can rest in the Lord because He has carried our burdens. WE can rest from our works because He has provided us with salvation through His Son and brought us redemption through the free gift of His grace.
 
Our rest is a rest of faith. Works (our efforts to save ourselves or keep ourselves) make us weary. Works wear us out; rest brings refreshment. Works bring strain; rest brings ease. Works bring tumult; rest brings quietness. Works bring worry; rest brings peace.
 
For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel; in returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength (Isaiah 30:15 KJV).
 
For we which have believed do enter into rest (Hebrews 4:3 KJV).

Requests

Requests
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Father—
In our hunger, feed us;
In our growing, weed us;
In our seeking, lead us;
In our yielding, knead us;
In our praying, heed us. 
In our serving, bend us;
In our fight, defend us;
In our hurting, mend us;
In our hardness, rend us;
In our going, send us.
 
Call to me, and I will answer you (Jeremiah 33:3)…
