Encouragement for Today
Welcome to a place where you can find encouragement for your daily walk with God!
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.

Until the Time That God Ordains
Death cannot have a man of God
However hard it tries
Before the time that God appoints
And then His servant dies
Let Pharaoh rise or Herod fear
The babe will live and grow
Let lions come and giants rise
They’ll fall before his blow
Let famine strike or sickness spread
God keeps him safely through
Let mobs cast stones or shipwrecks come
His strength is always new
…
The Break of Day
No pain or disappointment
Will shade that happy place
Where all the Father’s children
Will see our Savior’s face
There in that glad forever
Where day is always bright
We’ll ever praise and serve Him
With honor and delight
When freed from sin’s temptation
We’ll love with heart and soul
The God whose love redeemed us
And made us well and whole
…
By Ways I Have Not Known
By ways I have not known
Yet known to God in grace,
He leads me to His throne
Along this winding race.
I cannot see ahead
But trust His loving hand
And follow where I’m led
Before I understand.
For by His wisdom’s skill
He knows what’s right and best;
Delighting in His will
My heart finds joyful rest.
…
Doing What I Know
Lord, help me do the things I know
To live like Jesus would –
The things You teach me in Your Word
Are holy, right, and good.
I want to build my life each day
On solid rock, not sand,
So when life’s troubles come like storms
My faith will firmly stand.
Your Word reveals what I should change –
A mirror for my heart;
I’ll stop and fix the things I see
And do the work You start.
…
Don’t Live in the Shadow of Yesterday’s Sin
Don’t live in the shadow
Of yesterday’s sin
The Father forgave you
And cleansed you within
Its failure can warn you
But must not prevent
Your willingly doing
The tasks you were sent
Don’t let the old devil
Sneak in and deceive
He whispers his folly
But do not believe
…
Praise From the Heart
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That’s seen Your love anew
I lift a song of joyful praise
For all I’ve seen You do
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That overflows today
With all the goodness of Your care
That keeps me in the way
Lord, from the fullness of a heart
That knows Your mighty Name
With all the glory of Your grace
This child of Yours can claim
