We Have Heard the Joyful Sound! - Week of December 2, 2018

Psalm 89:15-16 King James Version (KJV)

15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance.
16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

Dear Friends,
The joyful sound is the sweet music of salvation.  It is the sound within the soul of the born again Christian filled with assurance of sins forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
The joyful sound is the realization of what a profound love, love beyond measure that God bestowed for: God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son... John 3:16 cf
The joyful sound is a symphonic melody that rings true throughout the Word of God.  Jesus is Our Everything.  Joyful He is.  Wonderful. Everlasting.
The joyful sound is a song of comfort as the Holy Spirit reminds us that we are never alone. No, never alone.
The joyful sound is one that Priscilla J. Owens wrote about over one hundred years ago when she penned the words to the song To the Utmost Jesus Saves.
We have heard the joyful sound.  Jesus saves.

1 We have heard the joyful sound:
Jesus saves!
Spread the gladness all around:
Jesus saves!
Bear the news to every land,
climb the steeps and cross the waves;
onward! ’tis our Lord’s command:
Jesus saves!
2 Sing above the battle strife:
Jesus saves!
By His death and endless life,
Jesus saves!
Sing it softly through the gloom,
when the heart for mercy craves;
sing in triumph o’er the tomb:
Jesus saves!
3 Give the winds a mighty voice:
Jesus saves!
Let the nations now rejoice:
Jesus saves!
Shout salvation full and free;
highest hills and deepest caves;
this our song of victory:
Jesus saves!


To the utmost Jesus saves.

To the utmost Jesus saves.

He will pick you up and turn you round.

Hallelujah. Jesus Saves.

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
