Prayer Corner: Week of January 26th

We will not fear

    The very hairs of your head are all numbered (Matthew 10:30) Do you

Think this is a literal meaning? Well, yes it is. God’s wisdom and

Knowledge are so great that He really does know every hair on your head.

His providence descends to the minute dust particles in a summer storm.

He numbers gnats in the sunshine and the fish in the sea. He controls

All the massive planets that shine in the heavens, and even deals with

The teardrops that trickle from your eyes.He supports the dignity of His

Throne in the splendour of heaven maintains it in the depths of the dark

Sea. There is absolutely nothing above, under, or around you that is not

Determined by His counsel and will.

    I am not a fatalist, but I strictly hold to the doctrine that God has decreed

All things that come to pass and that He rules over all things for His glory

And good. So, what do you have to fear? An unbeliever looks at lightning

And is apprehensive, but a Christian believes it follows a predestined path.

He will contemplate it with confidence. Waves dash against ships at sea and

Can toss it to and fro, some may panic thinking it is all chance. Believers

See order in the waves. They hear music in the wind and are at peace

Because the tempest is in God’s hands. Why then should we fear?

    With all the disasters and dangers in the world we can remain calm,

Collected, and boldly say with confidence, “Know God is here and all

This is working for my good.” “Therefore we will not fear, even though the

Earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the sea;

Though it’s water roars and be troubled, though the mountains shake with

Its swelling” (Psalm 46:2)  We should all think on these thing.

    Pray for our country and people around the world who do not know

Our Lord and Saviour. God is in control.
