Encouragement for Today
Welcome to a place where you can find encouragement for your daily walk with God!
When God Comes Through
When Shadrack and Abednago
With Meshak faced the flame,
They purposed they would do what’s right
And praise God’s holy Name.
They bore the brunt of tyrant rage,
Were roughly seized and bound –
It wasn’t till they reached the fire
That true relief was found.
Within the fire they weren’t alone
For Jesus met them there,
And not a single thread was singed –
No smoke-whiff in their hair.
…
Searching for Freedom
You’ve searched the world for freedom
But find you’re still not free;
The prize seems so elusive –
What secret could there be?
You’ve broken rules aplenty,
Thrown caution to the wind,
Indulged your inner passions,
Rebelled and often sinned.
But still the satisfaction
You’ve sought for all this time
Is missing till you wonder,
What’s left to try or climb?
…
The Earth Declares Your Glory
The earth declares your glory
From morning through the night,
You give the dawn its beauty
And lend the sun its light.
Your power and your goodness
Are always on display
In regal mountain grandeur
And when the sparrows play.
The seed time and the harvest,
Spring rains and winter snow
Reveal Your faithful mercies
As seasons come and go.

Come Quickly
Lord, haste the day when Christ will come
To call us all away
In robes of glory pure and white
To realms of endless day.
Return again, Your people wait
Expectant as You said
In service and in watchful prayer
With hope of what’s ahead.
Your gospel news is on the wind,
Your Word is spread abroad,
We’ve gone and called the world to come
To worship You our God.
…
God Knows and Does What’s Best
I know the Lord knows everything –
There’s nothing He can’t see;
He sees right now with all the past
And all eternity.
I know the Lord is good and kind –
His love for me is true;
He gave His Son to die for me
And gives me heaven, too.
So, if my God knows everything
And truly wants my best,
Why would I doubt His perfect plan
Or put Him to the test?
…
Your Compass Rose
Let Scripture be your compass rose
With Jesus your true north;
Keep pressing on through wind and rain
For God has called you forth.
By day and night it leads you right
In everything you face,
Inspired and true, unchanging, too,
A source of strength and grace.
No turning back, no veering off
The path that God has made;
Your compass rose will lead you home –
Be bold and unafraid.
…
You Came for Me
Lord Jesus, in your mercy
You came to earth for me;
You left your perfect splendor
With all your majesty.
You took a human body,
Felt hunger, cold, and pain,
Were hated and rejected,
And felt temptation’s strain.
Yet all the time you bore it
Without the least complaint –
No sinful thoughts or motives
Broke through your self restraint.
…
For Blessings So Abundant
For grace that’s all sufficient
For mercy ever new
For love that’s everlasting
I lift my heart to You
For truth that never changes
For peace that reigns within
For guidance from Your Spirit
For pardon for my sin
For blessings so abundant
For sleep and daily bread
For promises enduring
For paths where I’ve been led
…
Strength Sufficient
You’ve promised strength through Jesus Christ
To do the work You give
Sufficient for the task at hand
However long I live.
And when I’m weak I often ask
That You would make me strong
Expecting that I’ll feel prepared
For all that comes along.
But then, perhaps, I’d soon forget
Your strength is holding me;
My foolish heart would turn away
And sink within life’s sea.
