Blessings From Very Light Afflictions - Part 7

Michael E. Wood

July 13, 2011

While the present series does not encompass all of the blessings received to my heart from the Lord during recent days while waiting for what I trust will be full temporary recovery from my back injury, my desire is that He will use the things He has given me to be an encouragement to others and most of all that He will be glorified therein. Thus with prayer and praise we look to Him who was, and Is, and is to come! To Whom be glory both now and forevermore. Amen!

Closing Prayer and Praise!

The glories of Your grace,
Enlightened by the knowledge

That we soon will see Your face;

Oh help us to be bold

And speak the truth in love,

Dependant on Your Holy Spirit’s

Power to unfold

The mystery of the cross

Of which You bore alone,

O Christ, redeeming all You chose

From great eternal loss.

For in Your train we follow now,

As justified, forgiven,

Till all the earth shall know

And every knee before You bow.

After reading the following to my beloved Dianna, she said, "That sounds like a song". I smiled and said, “We’ll see.”

Oh when we fail to notice

As our mem’ry is so weak,

We trust in You that every step

From slipping You will keep.

As all for Your great honor,

Oh help us to be true

And by Your Holy Spirit’s power;

Christ give glory to

Your precious Name, as it alone

Is worthy of all praise

And by the power of Your blood,

We stand, forgiven, raised,

Rejoicing in the privilege;

The called and justified,

As grace through faith You gave to live

Till with You glorified!
