"Forsake me not, O Lord."-Psalm 38:21
Frequently we pray that God would not forsake us in the hour of trial and temptation, but we too much forget that we have need to use this prayer at all times. There is no moment of our life, however holy, in which we can do without His constant upholding. Whether in light or in darkness, in communion or in temptation, we alike need the prayer, "Forsake me not, O Lord." "Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe." A little child, while learning to walk, always needs the nurse's aid. The ship left by the pilot drifts at once from her course. We cannot do without continued aid from above; let it then be your prayer to-day, "Forsake me not. Father, forsake not Thy child, lest he fall by the hand of the enemy. Shepherd, forsake not Thy lamb, lest he wander from the safety of the fold. Great Husbandman, forsake not Thy plant, lest it wither and die. 'Forsake me not, O Lord,' now; and forsake me not at any moment of my life. Forsake me not in my joys, lest they absorb my heart. Forsake me not in my sorrows, lest I murmur against Thee. Forsake me not in the day of my repentance, lest I lose the hope of pardon, and fall into despair; and forsake me not in the day of my strongest faith, lest faith degenerate into presumption. Forsake me not, for without Thee I am weak, but with Thee I am strong. Forsake me not, for my path is dangerous, and full of snares, and I cannot do without Thy guidance. The hen forsakes not her brood, do Thou then evermore cover me with Thy feathers, and permit me under Thy wings to find my refuge. 'Be not far from me, O Lord, for trouble is near, for there is none to help.' 'Leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation!'"
"O ever in our cleansed breast,
Bid Thine Eternal Spirit rest;
And make our secret soul to be
A temple pure and worthy Thee."

ReplyDeleteThe Birth Of Jesus
ReplyDeletemy favorite is the 3 Hebrew children. I am glad I serve a God who will be in the midst of the fire with me.
ReplyDeleteI watched but was disappointed. I guess I should be thankful for Hollywood putting out something decent but it wasn't what I was expecting.
ReplyDeleteI like the story of the birth of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteWe thought it was ok but of course it had artistic interpretation at some points. We kept saying what about this and what about that etc. at times.

David and Goliath is my favorite

Adam & Eve
ReplyDeleteWhen Abraham goes to sacrifice Issac and God provides a sacrifice nothing compares to the story of Jesus being born though.
ReplyDeleteI love this series I watched the first episode and need to watch the second one. It provides a great overview. There is no way they could condense everything that happens in the Bible into 10 hours but so far it is a really good overview.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying this mini-series and think it's wonderful that so many people are watching it. I realize some things are omitted, but think they did an excellent job at hitting the high points and covering so much in just 10 hours. I really liked the scene where they crossed the Red Sea on foot but my favorite story is Jesus ascension back to heaven after rising from the dead! Happy Easter! Would love to win the Walmart gift card!
ReplyDeleteLoved the TV Premiere and left me anxious to see the whole series.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a favorite scene. I am watching episode 3 right now. I did really like the parting of the Red Sea but all of it is great.
