"... if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart,
and knoweth all things. Beloved, if our heart condemn us
not, then have we confidence toward God." John 3:20-21

When your heart is filled with "doubt's un-certaines, by
trembling fears" or your heart rejoices with "joy unspeakable
and full of glory." "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today
and forever." Cling to the word and sacraments, the promises
of God therein shall stand forever. Christ-Word-Solid-Rock!

“Feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving;
My warrant is the Word of God
Nothing else is worth believing.

Though all my heart should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token,
There is One greater than my heart
Whose Word cannot be broken.

I'll trust in God's unchanging Word
Till soul and body sever,
For, though all things shall pass away,
HIS WORD SHALL STAND FOREVER!”
Martin Luther

"Heaven an earth shall pass away, God's word abides forever"
Light for the journey, strength for the day, look to the word of
God, which is Christ who said "Thy word is truth" 'the sword of
the Spirit is the word of God. Yes the word is everlasting truth.

Assurance
Whether trials from within or without we have the
Lords promise "I will never leave you nor forsake you"
2 Cor 4:8-9 "We are troubled on every side, yet
not distressed; we are perplexed but not in
despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down
but not destroyed" This is assurance.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh what a foretaste of Glory Divine!
Heir of salvation purchase of God,
Born of the Spirit washed in His Blood.
Fanny Crosby

Jesus said "....In the world ye shall have tribulation
but be of good cheer; I have over come the world"
John 16:33

With all the devil the world and our own sinful
flesh throws at us. We learn and are learning, that
the confident hope we have, does not depend on
the present circumstance or how we feel, alone
upon Rock of ages under our feet which cannot be
moved. It is In Christ we stand, all other ground is
sinking sand. This is confident Hope.
Mark
