Thursday's Thought

Ephesians 6:9

And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.

Good morning, family and friends!

It's a comfort to know that our Master in heaven has no "respect of persons".  The latter part of the above verse from Ephesians goes along with my spoonful of thought tonic on this particular Thursday. 

I went into the prayer room last night before service in dire need of just a space of peace and quiet. The day had been a great day but filled with a lot of things on mind, scurrying around trying to accomplish many tasks, and worrying about the unfinished ones. But, now that it was church time, I wanted to release the anxiety through prayer so that I could enjoy the service. At this particular church that we attend when we're not on the road, they play either soft instrumental music or, as in this case, a CD of an artist singing hymns, during prayer time.

As I felt the soothing presence of The Prince of Peace, I heard the familiar voice of the late Rev. Murrell Ewing, and the song was one that I love dearly, and I decided to post about it today:

It is No Secret

by Stuart Hamblen

Verse One

The chimes of time ring out the news

Another day is through

Someone slipped and fell

Was that someone you?

You may have longed for added strength

Your courage to renew

Do not be disheartened

For I have news for you

Chorus

It is no secret what God can do

What He's done for others

He'll do for you

With arms wide open, He'll pardon you

It is no secret what God can do

Verse Two

There is no night for in His light

You'll never walk alone

Always feel at home

Wherever you may roam

There is no power can conquer you

While God is on your side

Just take Him at His promise

Don't run away and hide

It is truly no secret what God can do, and what He has done for others, He will do for you (and me). The soothing tones of the music, the sweet melody and lyrics of this song simply released a lot of the anxious feelings last night. I thank God for the gift of music, lyrics, and prayer, as they all work together in such unity. 

God is on our side today. Trust Him, and believe that in His time all will be okay.

God bless you all on this Thursday. Think on Him and His goodness. If He's willing, I'll be back tomorrow with another spoonful!
