Rested yesterday as well. Thankful for God's wisdom in sabbath rest. Went to church and was blessed by the hearing of His word and the beautiful expression of worship by our organ master. He writes a brief devotional for us to read as he plays. Sometimes it seems that we could just step right up to the throne of grace and see Jesus face to face.
Wanting to share with you a bit of the offertory devotional from yesterday's church gathering. The music was improvisations from the hymns The King's Highway and It Is Well With My Soul (my favorite hymn). Wish you could hear the music, but the devotional is beautiful as well.
Christians are pilgrims on the Road of Christ, the King's Highway, for He is the Way ~ the Road itself. Not only is He the Way, but He, Himself, is the guide on the Road and He provides the strength for the journey. Though the path may be filled with joys or sorrows, Christians can, indeed, pursue the Way ~ the Road ~ with eager feet, for, at the end there will spread out before the wondering gaze broad vistas of eternal glory never dreamed of by mortal man. The King, Himself, shall lead us into the great Banquet Hall where we shall feast with our Bridegroom and sing.... We shall rest in the arms of our Saviour while the sweetness and aroma of His eternal Love bathes us for all eternity. Knowing that our Lord awaits us with such glories, we can tread the King's Highway with assurance, certain that all is well with our soul. ~ Glen Harper
Oh, yes, it is well with my soul! I pray that it is well with yours as well.
