"We Thank Thee, Lord" WE thank Thee, Lord, for weary days When desert springs were dry, And first we knew what depth of need Thy love could satisfy. Days when beneath the desert sun, Along the toilsome road, O'er roughest ways we walked with One, That One the Son of God. We thank Thee for that rest in Thee The weary only know, That perfect wondrous sympathy We only learn below. The sweet companionship of One Who once the desert trod: The glorious fellowship with One Upon the throne of God. We know Thee as we could not know Through heaven's golden years; We there shall see Thy glorious face --- Here understand Thy tears! And here in peace, with Thee we go Where Thou, our Shepherd, trod, Still, learning through our need below Depths of the heart of God. ~Anonymous~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Little Note from Cobblestone Road Ministries: 2Thess 3:5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. It is in our weary days that we know His strength is sufficient! It is in our trials that we know that the Lord can see us through. In Heaven, our weary days will be over. We must learn much here while on this on earth. If we never had problems, we would not know that the Lord could solve them. If we never had a trial, how would we know the grace of God could see us through? How would we ever know the goodness of God if we never experienced difficulty in this life and His mercy to see us through? As we journey in this earthly life, the Christian finds that His goodness is matchless and His love for us is without limit. He is always looking out for us and cares for us. Shall we not forever sing praises unto Him who redeemed us with His precious blood? To God be the glory great things He hath done! He so loved this world that He gave His only begotten Son to die upon the cruel cross for our sins. And our Lord Jesus is risen and seated upon the right hand of the Throne of God. He is our Mediator and Intercessor. Romans 8:34 says, "Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us." Through our tribulations and trials, we know Him as we could have never known Him if we were already in Heaven. For He is faithful and true and has proven to be true every time and throughout every storm. Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
