Day 19: ONE YEAR THROUGH THE BIBLE

DAY 19


"When we sing, 'draw me near, nearer, blessed Lord,' we are not thinking of the nearness of place, but of the nearness of relationship.  It is for increasing degrees of awareness that we pray, for a more perfect consciousness of the divine Presence.  We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God.  He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts."
- A.W. Tozer

DAY 18


"It is clear that there must be difficulties for us in a revelation such as the Bible.  If someone were to hand me a book that was as simple to me as the multiplication table, and say, 'This is the Word of God.  In it He has revealed His whole will and wisdom,' I would shake my head and say, 'I cannot believe it; that is too easy to be a perfect revelation of infinite wisdom.'  There must be, in any complete revelation of God's mind and will and character and being, things hard for the beginner to understand; and the wisest and best of us are but beginners."  
- R.A. Torrey

GOD LOVES YOU

1 John 4:16-19
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us.  God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment:  because as he is, so are we in this world.  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:  because fear hath torment.  He that feareth is not made perfect in love.  We love him, because he first loved us.  

SING TO THE LORD

Exodus 3:12
Certainly I will be with thee
I will be with thee
and this shall be a sign to thee

I have sent thee, yes, I have sent thee to set my people free,
I have sent thee, yes, I have sent thee to set my people free.

When you have brought forth the people of bondage, 

I will be with thee.

Ye shall serve God upon this mountain

for I have sent thee.

I have sent thee, yes, I have sent thee to set my people free.
