None But Christ Can Satisfy

Leave a Comment / Christ, Hymn

O Christ, in Thee my soul hath found.

In Thee alone, the peace and joy I’ve sought so long

I long for rest and happiness

I yearned for them, not Thee

But His love laid hold on me.

I tried the broken cisterns, 

But the water run out

And mocked me as I wailed.

The pleasures lost I sadly mourned,

But never wept for Thee,

Till Thy grace come upon me

Thy loveliness I see

Now none but Christ can satisfy,

None other name for me!

There’s love and life and lasting joy,

Lord Jesus, found in Thee.

Isaiah 61:10

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For He has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Psalms 16:11

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Psalms 116:7-8

Return to your rest, O my soul, For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

For You have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling.

Psalms 62:1

Truly my soul silently waits for God; From Him comes my salvation.

Romans 8:38-39

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Jeremiah 2:13

For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn themselves cisterns—broken cisterns that can hold no water.

Matthew 11:17

And saying: ‘We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not lament.’

Song of Solomon 2:14

O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely.

John 6:35

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

John 15:11

These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.

But we’ll not leave our safe retreat.

Oh, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land,

A shelter in the time of storm

Saviour More Than Life To Me

Leave a Comment / Christ, Hymn, Saviour

Greetings Bro & Sis in Christ
Blessed Sabbath!

☘️ My Saviour is more than life to me
I will forever cling close to Him

Lead me gently through this changing world
Trusting Thee I cannot loose my way

Let me love Thee more and more
Till this fleeting life is o’er
Till my soul is lost in a brighter, world above.

Ev’ry day, ev’ry hour
Let me feel thy cleansing pow’r;
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord, to Thee.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You.
(Psalms 63: 3)

You shall fear the Lord your God; you shall serve Him, and to Him you shall hold fast, and take oaths in His name.
(Deuteronomy 10: 20)

He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
(Psalms 23: 3)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
(Proverbs 3: 5-6)

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Leave a Comment / Christ, Hymn, Saviour
Picture Credit: Christian Lue

I don’t know about tomorrow

I just live from day to day

Even from its sunshine

The skies may turn to gray

Today I’ll walk beside Jesus

He knows what lies ahead

The steps are getting brighter

As I climb the golden stairs

The burden’s getting lighter

And the cloud is silver-lined

There is no tear to dim the eye

At the disappearing of the rainbow

Where the mountains touch the sky

I don’t know about tomorrow

It may bring me poverty

The One who feeds the sparrow

He stands by me

My path may be through the flame or flood

But He goes before me

And covered me with His blood

Many things about tomorrow

I don’t seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow

And I know who holds my hand

James 4: 14

Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 

Matthew 6: 34

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about it1wself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  

Colossians 2: 6-7

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.  

Isaiah 43: 2

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.  

Proverbs 18: 10

The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.  

Deuteronomy 31: 8

The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”  

For I am the Lord , your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.

🍁  Is it not Joy that we are craving for?

Leave a Comment / Christ

My soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is (Lamentations 3:17)

Heavenly Joy comes from God

But the fruit of the Spirit is Joy…..

(Galatians 5: 22)

Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart    

(Psalm 5: 11)

Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in His place

(1 Chronicles 16: 27)

In His presence, there is fullness of joy. He will make known to you the path of life

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore       

(Psalm 16: 11)

We rejoice and believe in Him. The outcome is salvation of our soul

Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls

(1 Peter 1: 8-9)

The Joy of the Lord may be in you

These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full

(John 15: 11)

Ask  and receive, so that your joy will be complete

So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete (John 16: 22, 24)

Life is not about eating and drinking

☕️☕️ Reading the scriptures

Leave a Comment / Reading

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path

(Psalms 119: 105)

Reading the scriptures is not only very important, it is our food and life

Jesus said, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God

(Matthew 4: 4)

When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart’s delight, for I bear your name, O Lord God Almighty

(Jeremiah 15: 16)

We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. 

In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 

Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 

But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil  (Hebrews 5: 11-14)

The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe. 

For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 

He went on to say, This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him. 

From this time, many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. You do not want to leave too, do you? Jesus asked the Twelve 

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God (John 6: 63-69)

No one can come to Jesus unless the Father enable him

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29: 11-13)

When we seek God with all our heart, we will find Him. When we found God, we find Jesus and can come to worship Him

Reading the words of God have eternal life. This is a worthwhile thing to do for ourselves, to make time from our busy schedule for a blessed life while we are still on earth and the age to come

Without God’s words, our lives become wayward and weak. Only with the guidance of God’s words, can we determine the eternal direction, and know how to walk every step of the way

Therefore, it is necessary to read the scriptures and let God’s words come close to our hearts. Let’s enjoy the words of God through reading the Bible

🎼 Higher Ground

Leave a Comment / Saviour

Greetings Bro & Sis In Christ

Blessed Sabbath!

I’m pressing on and gaining new heights every day

Praying to the Lord to plant my feet on higher ground

Doubts arises and fear dismay

My heart has no desire to stay

My prayer and aim, are higher ground

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled

My Faith has found the song of saints on higher ground

I want to catch a gleam of the glory bright

Meanwhile, I’ll pray till I have rested

O Lord, lead me on to higher ground

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith on Heaven’s tableland

A higher plane than I have found

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground

Philippians 3:14-18
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if at some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.  

Colossians 3: 1-2
Since then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.  

Philippians 1: 23
I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;  

Psalm 121: 1-2
I will lift up my eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

Proverbs 4: 18
The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.  

Psalm 63: 3-4
Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

Psalm 143: 8
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

🍁  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever

Leave a Comment / Christ, Jesus, Saviour

(Heb. 13:8)

☘️  All the fame, status, and wealth of the world are not eternal

All enjoyment and happiness fly away and become nothing in the blink of an eye

Even one’s own life cannot be preserved. 

Therefore, pursuing worldly things and relying on human intelligence are foolish and useless

☘️  Heaven and earth will perish but You remain the same and Your years will never end

In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. 

They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 

Like clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. 

But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.  (Psalms 102: 25-27)

☘️  We received a kingdom that cannot be shaken and may remain. So be thankful and worship God with reverence

To Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. 

See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. 

If they did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from Him who warns us from heaven? 

At that time His voice shook the earth, but now He has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 

The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken–that is, created things–so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12: 24-29)

☘️  With Jesus we can obtain something eternal, and valuable. Apart from Him, everything is empty, not worth pursuing and cannot be relied upon

By relying on the Lord wholeheartedly, recognizing the Lord, and relying on Him for everything, will we never change

☘️  Only Jesus Christ is unchanging. Not only does He Himself not change, but His relationship with us and His love for us will never change

☘️ The book of Proverbs

Leave a Comment / Proverbs

The purpose of the book of Proverbs is to recognize wise instruction and apply knowledge wisely. 

Most importantly, this all begins with a reverent respect—”fear”—of the Lord and the rejection of foolish ways. 

Proverbs 1:8–19 
is a warning against foolishness and the allure of sinful behavior.

It is an example of the biblical wisdom literature, and raises questions of values, moral behaviour, the meaning of human life, and right conduct, and its theological foundation is that “the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom”

Through the study of Proverbs, we receive the moral discipline needed to live one’s life successfully. 

Proverbs is full of instructions about moral discipline. Moral discipline can only come through God’s Word. 

Lastly, The Book of Proverbs teaches us understanding and discernment.

Here are the contents we have read in the Book of Proverbs:

  • The Beginning of Knowledge
  • Shun Evil Counsel
  • The Call of Wisdom
  • The Value of Wisdom
  • Guidance for the Young
  • Security in Wisdom
  • The Peril of Adultery
  • Dangerous Promises
  • The Folly of Indolence
  • The Wicked Man
  • Beware of Adultery
  • The Crafty Harlot
  • The Excellence of Wisdom
  • The Way of Wisdom
  • The Way of Folly
  • Wise Sayings of Solomon
  • Sayings of the Wise
  • Further Sayings of the Wise
  • Further Wise Sayings of Solomon
  • The Wisdom of Agur
  • The Words of King Lemuel’s Mother
  • The Virtuous Wife

Thank and Praise the Lord!

May the Lord guide and enlightened us along the way

God Bless

☘️ Introduction to the book of Ecclesiastes

Leave a Comment / Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes contains the thoughts of “the Philosopher”, a man who reflected deeply on how short and contradictory human life is, with its mysterious injustices and frustrations, and concluded that “life is useless”. 

He could not understand the ways of God, who controls human destiny.

The theme of Ecclesiastes is the necessity of fearing God in this fallen, confusing world. 

Each human being wants to understand all the ways God is acting in the world, but he cannot, because he is not God. 

And yet the faithful do not despair but cling to God, even when they cannot see what God is doing.
