Encouragement for Today
Welcome to a place where you can find encouragement for your daily walk with God!
The Hour We Went Astray
The day we sinned against Him
And broke God’s law and heart,
He made a lasting promise
To save us from the start.
His love is so abundant,
His grace so deep and wide,
He promised us a Savior
The day we fell and died.
As God pronounced sin’s curses
He spoke a blessing too
Which shows His loving purpose
To rescue me and you.
…
Each Day I Have New Reasons
Each day I have new reasons
To praise and thank the Lord
For all His grace and goodness
With faithfulness outpoured.
He loads me down with blessings,
Pursues me with His love,
And follows me with mercy
That leads me home above.
He sends the rain and sunshine,
Good food and clothing, too,
Provides from such abundance
That every day it’s new.
…
All That You’ve Done
Lord, help me remember
The things that You’ve done:
The blessings You’ve sent me,
The battles You’ve won,
Each needed provision
That shows how You care,
The guidance You’ve sent me,
The answers to prayer.
Lord, help me be grateful
For all that You’ve done
And mindful to offer
Real thanks for each one,
…

All We Need
When Pharoah’s heart was hardened
Against the Lord’s command,
He made the labor harder
Of those who built his land.
He told the weary Hebrews
That they must gather straw;
“Go find your own,” he told them
And made his hatred law.
Unlike the wicked Pharoah,
God gives His children tasks
And then provides materials
For anything He asks.
…
I Can Hardly Wait
I only see a little way
Beyond the veil of tears
To where my Savior waits for me
Beyond these fleeting years.
But what it see is quite enough –
It makes me long to go
To where my Lord has made a home
Where joys forever flow.
The brightest things and loveliest
That grace this world today
Are but a glimpse of better things
That wait beyond the way.
…
They Couldn’t Sleep, But They Could Sing
Down in that jail at Philippi
As midnight came around,
Two men were lying in the dark
By chains securely bound.
Their bleeding wounds and aching bones
Were keeping them awake,
But no amount of pain and wrong
Could make their spirits break.
Those bars and chains had seen a lot,
But what they heard that night
…
What Will You Choose?
Each day we face a simple choice
For darkness or for light,
For life or death, for truth or lies,
To do what’s wrong or right.
In Eden, too, the choice was made
To trust the Lord or not;
They ate the fruit, chose death and pain –
And that was what they got.
But Jesus came and took our death
To offer life once more;
Now you must choose it for yourself
For He’s the only door.
…
An Instrument of Praise
We do not praise an instrument
As of it made itself
Or think it did some wondrous thing
In coming off the shelf
But just the same we don’t ignore
It’s craftsmanship and skill
The beauty of its sound and form
That make the spirit thrill
So we are not to seek esteem
Or long for earth’s parade
But neither should we shrink from view
And hide what God has made
…
With Me Day and Night
The Lord is with me day and night
So nothing needs to cause me fright;
He sees in darkness as in light
So I can trust He’ll lead me right.
When storm clouds rise and tempests blow
To God my refuge, safe I’ll go;
His mighty strength they grandly show
But cannot crush me here below.
By waters still and pastures green
On God’s provision I will lean
Enjoying blessings pure and clean,
Rejoicing in the good I’ve seen.
