Each morning when I wake I say, “I place my hand in God’s today.”

With faith and trust that by my side He’ll walk with me, my steps to guide.

He leads me with the tenderest care, when paths are dark, and I despair.

No need for me to understand if I but hold fast to His hand.

My hand in His; no surer way to walk in safety through each day.

By His great bounty I am fed, warmed by His love, and comforted.

When at day’s end I seek my rest, and realize how much I’m blessed,

My thanks pour out to Him, and then I place my hand in God’s again.

Scatter Kindness … D. L. Moody on a certain occasion had shown great kindness to a friend. In thanking him, the friend said that he hoped one day that he would be able to repay the kindness to Moody. In his quick, abrupt way, Moody answered: “Don’t wait for me! Do it to the first person who comes along!”

Each morning when I wake I say, “I place my hand in God’s today.”

With faith and trust that by my side He’ll walk with me, my steps to guide.

He leads me with the tenderest care, when paths are dark, and I despair.

No need for me to understand if I but hold fast to His hand.

My hand in His; no surer way to walk in safety through each day.

By His great bounty I am fed, warmed by His love, and comforted.

When at day’s end I seek my rest, and realize how much I’m blessed,

My thanks pour out to Him, and then I place my hand in God’s again.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month.
If you like the pastor’s sermons, why not stop and tell him so?
It will give him inspiration – more than you will ever know.
If you like the work he’s doing do not be afraid to say;
It will give him added courage for the burden of the day.
Just remember he has trials, just the same as you and I;
Though he can’t please all the people, neither could our Lord on high.
If you have a word of kindness – not a lot of flowery praise –
You should let your pastor know it; it will brighten up his days.

New Address – Arlin & Carissa King’s new address is:

664 S. 19th Street, Reading, PA 19606. The Lord bless you and make you a blessing in your neighborhood.

A traveler crossed a frozen stream in trembling fear one day;

Later a teamster drove across, and whistled all the way.

Great faith and little faith alike were granted safe convoy;

One had the pangs of needless fear, the other all the joy.

Ye Have Not, Because Ye Ask Not – James 4:2

When asked how much time he spent in prayer, George Mueller’s reply was, “Hours every day. But I live in the spirit of prayer. I pray as I walk: and when I lie down, and when I rise. And the answers are always coming. Tens of thousands of times have my prayers been answered. When once I am persuaded a thing is right, I go on praying for it until it comes. … There is the unchanging promise of Jehovah and on that I rest. The great fault of the children of God is that they do not continue in prayer; they do not go on praying: they do not persevere. If they desire anything for God’s glory, they should pray until they get it.”

Posted on Facebook: A big thank you from Thailand, for all the Christmas pictures and cards that came along with Cheyenne and Cody. It was good to hear/see so many of you.

Does anyone know of anyone who has an apartment or a house available somewhere not too far from our children? - Becki Sensenig

With a photo of Fairview family Christmas pictures on WhatsApp, Krista Fox says, “Thanks, everyone! It was so fun to get these!”

Remember in prayer those who had recent hospital experiences:

Fill Thou my life, O Lord my God, in every part with praise,

That my whole being may proclaim Thy being and Thy ways.

 

Praise in the common things of life, its goings out and in;

Praise in each duty and each deed, however small and mean.

 

So shall each duty, fret, and care be turned into a song;

And every winding of the way the echo shall prolong.

I have only just a minute, only sixty seconds in it;

Forced upon me, can’t refuse it, didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it.

But it’s up to me to use it, I must suffer if I lose it,

Give account if I abuse it.

Just a tiny little minute – But eternity is in it.

“If you want a happy life and good days,

keep your tongue from speaking evil,

and keep your lips from telling lies.

Turn away from evil and do good.

Work hard at living in peace with others.”

There is a Green Hill Far Away

by Cecil F. Alexander

 

There is a green hill far away outside a city wall

Where the dear Lord was crucified, who died to save us all.

 

We may not know, we cannot tell what pains He had to bear,

But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there.

 

He died that we might be forgiv’n, He died to make us good,

That we might go at last to heav’n, saved by His precious blood.

 

There was no other good enough to pay the price of sin;

He only could unlock the gate of heav’n, and let us in.

 

O dearly, dearly has He loved, and we must love Him, too,

And trust in His redeeming blood, and try His works to do.

What is Faith?

Faith is the eye by which we look to Jesus. A dim-sighted eye is still an eye; a weeping eye is still an eye.

 

Faith is the hand with which we lay hold of Jesus. A trembling hand is still a hand. And he is a believer whose heart within him trembles when he touches the hem of the Saviour’s garment, that he may be healed.

 

Faith is the tongue by which we taste how good the Lord is. A feverish tongue is, nevertheless, a tongue, and, even then, we may believe when we are without the smallest portion of comfort; for our faith is founded, not upon feeling, but upon the promises of God.

 

Faith is the foot by which we go to Jesus. A lame foot is still a foot. He who comes slowly, nevertheless comes.

– George Mueller

HIS NAME ON ME

Write Thy name on my HEAD that I may think for Thee:

Write Thy name on my LIPS that I may speak for Thee;

Write Thy name on my FEET that I may walk with and for Thee;

Write thy name on my HANDS that I may work with and for Thee;

Write Thy name on my EARS that I may listen for Thee;

Write Thy name on my HEART that I may love Thee;

Write Thy name on my SHOULDERS that I may bear loads for Thee;

Write Thy name on my EYES that I may see Thee;

Write Thy name ALL OVER ME that I may be wholly Thine –

Always and everywhere.

-B. H. Carroll

My Hand in God’s

Each morning when I wake I say, “I place my hand in God’s today.”

With faith and trust that by my side He’ll walk with me, my steps to guide.

He leads me with the tenderest care, when paths are dark, and I despair.

No need for me to understand if I but hold fast to His hand.

 

My hand in His; no surer way to walk in safety through each day.

By His great bounty I am fed, warmed by His love, and comforted.

When at day’s end I seek my rest, and realize how much I’m blessed,

My thanks pour out to Him and then I place my hand in God’s again.

The Person Down the Road ... In 30, 40, or 50 years you will meet a person down the road. Whether that someone is kind and gentle or selfish and demanding depends on what you do today. If you live only in terms of what you can get out of life, this person will be crabby, self-centered, and spiteful. But if you open your life to others and live as a giver, this person will be kind, open, and generous.

This somebody whom you will meet down the road is you. The person you will be tomorrow depends on the life you live today. Make sure the person you are becoming is someone you’ll enjoy being around for the rest of your life.

Able to keep! Yes, able to keep, rough though the path be -- rugged and steep; tender the Heart that is caring for me, mighty the grace, “sufficient for thee.”

Able to keep; my weakness He knows, strong the temptation, crafty the foes, God is my refuge, He is my shield: power of Almighty never shall yield.

“Able to keep!” how sure is the word:

He is my Keeper, Savior and Lord.

“Never shall perish,” one of His sheep,

Glory to God! He is able to keep.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  Acts 2:1-4

June 2 is the Day of Prayer for Muslims of Thailand. Geoff & Becki Sensenig and girls who are living and ministering in Thailand would appreciate if we would pray with them. Pray for Thai believers, Muslim background believers, and foreigners sharing the gospel, making disciples, and planting churches in Muslim communities. Pray that they may share boldly, in teams, with sacrificial service, and compassion; for God's glory. And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.” Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest (Luke 10:2).

 

Rick Rhodes will be traveling to Sturgis, Michigan, on Monday, June 3, for a week of revival meetings at Calvary Chapel (June 3-9, Monday-Sunday). Rodney and Reggie will be traveling with Rick. Please pray for the church, and for Rick as he preaches.

In addition to the Rhodes family, Bryce Fox, Shawn Good and Tyler Fox will be on the team this summer. Plan to get your vehicles washed on June 15!

                         The Rapture

We shall not all sleep - what ineffable bliss!

Some living today who may taste even this:

The rapture, the glory, the sudden surprise

One moment a mortal, the next, in the skies;

One moment oppressed by earth’s sorrow and strife,

The next in the brightness and fullness of life;

For changed all shall be

When the King in His beauty we see!

We shall not all sleep - O my soul, is it thou?

For thee, yes, for thee is this hope, even now!

A moment, a twinkling; ah, nothing between

The thin veil that hides, ere the vision be seen.

He cometh! He cometh! Awake, O dull ear,

There’s shouting in Glory! The Blessed is near!

And changed all shall be

When the King in His beauty we see!

Came the faithful women, weeping, but the stone was rolled away.

Intercedes, and our Creator hears and answers ev’ry plea.

I have no help but Thine; nor do I need

Another arm save Thine to lean upon;

It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed;

My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone.

 

Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness:

Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood;

Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace;

Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord my God!

When to Start …

Ere a child has reached to SEVEN

Teach him all the way to heaven;

Better still the work will thrive

If he learns before he’s FIVE.

Faith is the assurance that the thing God has said in His Word is true, and that God will act according to what He has said in His Word.

        “He (Abraham) staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform”  (Romans 4:20 & 21).
