Keep Me There!

“Get a life,” we’re told.  Well, those in Christ HAVE a life – made strong in Him.  Oh, the strength which seeps from us when we see not the beauty of His Holiness.  Nehemiah 8:10 says, “the joy of the Lord is your strength.”  Helen Lowrie Marshall says it like this:    

Isn’t life glorious! Isn’t it grand!

Here – take it – hold it tight in your hand;

Squeeze every drop of it into your soul,

Drink of the joy of it, sun-sweet and whole!

Laugh with the love of it, burst into song!

Scatter its richness as you stride along!

Isn’t life splendid – and isn’t it great

We can always start living – it’s never too late!

Dear Lord,

Let not one moment of this day pass apart from the deep joy of Your Presence.  Oh, my Father, keep me there!  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
