Whispers of His Power – APRIL 26
Ps. 111.4 (BCP): The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done His marvellous works: that they ought to be had in remembrance.
For the Love that like a screen
Sheltered from the might-have-been,
Be Thy Name adored.
Do you ever thank God for His daily preservations? For every time the car goes out and returns in safety? For His gift, guarded so wonderfully, of sight, hearing, speech, feeling, power to walk and run and work, and to enjoy life?
Don’t wait till ‘something happens’ that we must pray about, but praise for every day that ‘nothing happens’. And when there is some very special lovingkindness, remember the great word, The merciful and gracious Lord hath so done His marvellous works: that they ought to be had in remembrance.
oooOOOooo
