+ TUESDAY TUNE-UP +
From: Pastor John
(Tuesday Tune-up is going to take a summer break from June 30-July 28. The Tune-ups will resume in August!)
"I am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus"
When I woke up this morning I felt like I needed a number of things. First, I thought I needed more sleep. Second, I was pretty sure I needed coffee, but the more I thought about it, breakfast also seemed important. Then there were all the tasks of the day that needed to be done. Then, once I got my stomach out of its knot, I decided that what I really needed was more faith in Jesus. I need someone I can trust - no matter what!
I am sure that is what Frances R. Havergal must have felt in 1874 when he penned the words to "I am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus."
Take a look at these simply profound verses:
I am trusting thee, Lord Jesus, Trusting only Thee;
Trusting Thee for full salvation, Great and free.
I am trusting Thee for pardon; at Thy feet I bow,
For Thy grace and tender mercy Trusting now.
I am trusting Thee for cleansing In the crimson flood;
Trusting Thee to make me holy By Thy blood.
I am trusting Thee to guide me; Thou alone shall lead,
Every day and hour supplying All my need.
I am trusting Thee for power; Thine can never fail.
Words which Thou Thyself shall give must prevail.
I am trusting Thee, Lord Jesus; never let me fall.
I am trusting Thee forever and for all.
What powerful words of faith. Maybe we could use them as a checklist of faith everyday when we get up. You know, the things we really need today!
