Nearer Than Ever Before

 Thank you to my sweet neighbor for sharing this beautiful photo...a view of the frosty valley extending beyond our back yards.

A quote from Charles Spurgeon....

"I wish, my brothers and sisters, that you may live nearer to Christ than you have ever done before.  Depend upon it, it is when we think much of Christ, that we think little of ourselves, little of our troubles, and little of our doubts and fears that surround us. Begin from this day, and may God help you. Never let a single day pass over your head without a visit to the garden of Gethsemane and the cross on Calvary."

O God our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; our shelter from the stormy blast and our eternal home.

Under the shadow of Thy throne, Thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is Thine Arm alone,  and our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood, or earth received her frame;  from everlasting Thou art God, through endless years the same.

A thousand ages in Thy sight, are like an evening gone;  short as the night that ends the watch before the rising sun.

Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away; they fly, forgotten, as a dream dies at the op'ning day.

O God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come; be Thou our guide while life shall last, and our eternal home.

Saturating our minds in Scripture brings comfort of heart......

He will keep us in perfect peace when our minds are stayed on Him and we trust in Him. Isaiah 26: 3

O God Our Help....
