THE WELL-WORN PATH
I prefer the well-worn path
The latest trend never lasts
Look back in awe at the cross
If you would worship God
If you would approach God
Keep your heart in good repair
Let wisdom guard the way you walk
If you would walk with God
If you would understand God
Your best bet is at the cross
Look up in amazement at Jesus' love
If you would know God
If you would love God
Watch Jesus die on an earthen cross
Nothing else in this world was built to last
I prefer the well-worn path

Morning Verse
"I am the Lord, I change not." Malachi 3:6
It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, and on whose brow mutability can make no furrows. All things else have changed--all things are changing. The sun itself grows dim with age; the world is waxing old; the folding up of the worn-out vesture has commenced; the heavens and earth must soon pass away; they shall perish, they shall wax old as doth a garment; but there is One who only hath immortality, of whose years there is no end, and in whose person there is no change. The delight which the mariner feels, when, after having been tossed about for many a day, he steps again upon the solid shore, is the satisfaction of a Christian when, amidst all the changes of this troublous life, he rests the foot of his faith upon this truth--"I am the Lord, I change not."
The stability which the anchor gives the ship when it has at last obtained a hold-fast, is like that which the Christian's hope affords him when it fixes itself upon this glorious truth. With God "is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." What ever His attributes were of old, they are now; His power, His wisdom, His justice, His truth, are alike unchanged. He has ever been the refuge of His people, their stronghold in the day of trouble, and He is their sure Helper still. He is unchanged in His love. He has loved His people with "an everlasting love"; He loves them now as much as ever He did, and when all earthly things shall have melted in the last conflagration, His love will still wear the dew of its youth. Precious is the assurance that He changes not! The wheel of providence revolves, but its axle is eternal love.
"Death and change are busy ever,
Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love."
Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never;
God is wisdom, God is love."
O MY SOUL
This broken heart
This tortured mind
This tortured mind
Torn between the hear and now
Forgiven? Yes
Contented? No
Burdened by a restless soul
O my soul
Find rest in God
There's nothing more that need be done
Fall asleep
In the strong arms of Jesus
In the strong arms of Jesus
You're always safe and never alone
JEP
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
