Romans 8:35 “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?”

Please remember to read “My Utmost for His Highest” for  Today

 

SURVIVORS

 

Out of our trouble God brings victory.

Out of our tribulation comes rest.

Out of our anguish grows tenderness.

And famine reveals God’s resourceful best.

 

God wrote a survivor’s Handbook.

God is the Creator of  our Peace.

God is the Source of all Riches.

And God wants His Blessings to be released.

 

The problem with Pilgrims on their journey

Is that human frailty twists the view.

Fussing and fuming about the circumstances

 Stifles God’s solutions from reaching to you.

 

His love is beyond our widest estimates.

His resources are deeper than the deepest sea.

But I tend to look at the shipwreck

Instead of looking at the Ark prepared for me.

 

 Nothing can separate me from God’s Loving.

Nothing, not a life disaster or storm.

Help me to keep my eyes on my Captain

When my life is far away from the norm.

 

With God, I will become a Survivor.

With God, I will be cared for to the end.

No matter what’s ahead on my journey.

I’ll rise from the wreck with my very best Friend!
