This beautiful hymn was originally written in 1886 by Swedish author, Carl Boberg. It was published in a few periodicals but faded from view. However, several years later, someone found it and began singing it to an old Swedish tune, and it was published as a song in 1890.

Years later, Zondervan Music had a literal English translation made and then asked Mrs. Avis Christiansen to write it as lyrics. I recently came across her lyrics in an old book of hymn stories. Another rendition was done by Stuart Hine in the late 1940's that is also beautiful and far more familiar, but I was greatly touched by this adaptation. I hope that it will be a blessing to you as well.

LORD, I ADORE THEE

When I, O Lord, behold Thy vast creation,
The wondrous works which Thy great hands have wrought,
And when I view in awe and admiration,
The mighty worlds which Thou has formed from naught.

When Thou dost speak with mighty roaring thunder,
Or thru the whisper of the summer breeze,
And when I see Thee in the lightning yonder,
Or in the rainbow gleaming o'er the leas,

When in the light of Thy eternal glory,
I contemplate the Cross of Calvary,
With breaking heart I cry, "Lord, I adore Thee,
Thou who has suffered, bled, and died for me!"

When Thou shalt come, O Lord, in clouds descending,
To summon to Thyself Thy waiting "Bride,"
When I shall dwell with Thee in bliss unending,
Then, Lord, I shall be fully satisfied!

Chorus:

Then all my heart cries out, my God, to Thee,
Great is Thy Love, Great is Thy Love.
Then all my heart cries out, my God, to Thee,
Great is Thy Love, Great is Thy Love.

After reading these lyrics, do you know what the title of the hymn is as written by Stuart Hine? Which version do you prefer?

Think about this: What do you have that you cannot lose?

Many of the things we look to for “contentment” - money, homes, relationships, health, security, loved ones, jobs – can be lost.

If we are basing our contentment on temporal things, then our contentment will be temporary at best.

The basis of true contentment is a Person, the Lord Himself. He says that we can be content with what we have because of who He is.

For those who have given themselves for my earthly freedom,
To Him who gave Himself for my spiritual freedom,
I am thankful.

NOT I, BUT CHRIST

1. Not I but Christ be honored, loved, exalted;
Not I but Christ be seen, be known, be heard;
Not I but Christ in every look and action;
Not I but Christ in every thought and word.

Chorus:

Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord!
Oh, to be lost in Thee!
Oh, that it might be no more I,
But Christ that lives in me.

2. Not I but Christ to gently soothe in sorrow;
Not I but Christ to wipe the falling tear:
Not I but Christ to lift the weary burden;
Not I but Christ to hush away all fear.

3. Christ, only Christ, no idle word e'er falling;
Christ, only Christ, no needless bustling sound;
Christ, only Christ, no self-important bearing;
Christ, only Christ, no trace of "I" be found.

4. Not I but Christ my every need supplying;
Not I but Christ my strength and health to be;
Christ, only Christ for body, soul, and spirit;
Christ, only Christ, live then Thy life in me.

5. Christ, only Christ ere long will fill my vision;
Glory excelling soon, full soon I'll see -
Christ, only Christ my every wish fulfilling -
Christ, only Christ my all and all to be.

-A.A. Whiddington

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
Galatians 2:20

Blessed Are the Meek

Meekness is humble, yielded, obedient, & content. It is a defining quality of someone who has yielded control in their life to the Spirit if God, & has found Him to be the source of their confidence & contentment.

Because meek people have yielded control of themselves to God, He often entrusts them with leadership. (Num. 12:3)

Because meek people have yielded their desires to God, He promises they will be satisfied. (Ps. 22:26)

Because meek people view themselves through the mirror of God’s Word, they have no illusions about themselves & do not depend on themselves for guidance, & so God promises to lead them. (Ps. 25:9)

Because meek people are willing to admit their utter dependence on God & their lack of wisdom, He promises to teach them. (Ps. 25:9)

Because meek people have relinquished their rights on this earth to God, He promises them an inheritance & peace. (Ps. 37:11; Mt. 5:5)

Because meek people are not insistent on living for their own pleasure, God promises to increase their joy. (Isa. 29:19)

One of the sweetest, yet rarely talked about attributes, of our Lord Jesus Christ is His meekness. He who could rightfully demand the multitudes to worship on their faces came to this earth “meek & lowly in heart”. (Mt. 11:29; 21:5; II Cor. 10:1)

He was humble. He made Himself of no reputation. He was obedient. He was a servant. (Phil. 2:3-8) Yet we who say we are His children often live in arrogance & rebellion. So many times we have an attitude that demands attention & expects to be served.

Oh, that we would heed this admonition, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:”! What a difference it would make in our daily lives if we would be willing to let Him teach us to be meek.

*We would have rest in our souls. (Mt. 11:29)

*We would have His help in restoring the fallen. (II Tim. 2:25; Gal. 6:1)

*We would reflect His Spirit. (Gal. 5:22-23; Col. 3:12-13; Eph. 4:1-3)

*We would receive His Word & wisdom. (Jas. 1:21)

*We would reveal His gentleness, His wisdom, His grace, & His glory. (Jas. 3:13; I Pet. 3:4, 15; Jas. 3:13-18; Tit. 3:2-6)

“Blessed are the meek...” (Mt. 5:5)

Have you ever considered how much God loves music?

From the beginning of creation “when the morning stars sang together” to the book of Revelation, where “they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb”, the Word of God is filled with music. An entire book of the Bible, the Psalms, is music.

God sings! He told His people that He would “joy over thee with singing”. Jesus sang a hymn with His disciples at the Last Supper.

We who are His people are invited to “come before His presence with singing”.

We are instructed to allow God’s Word to dwell in us, and then to allow it to flow out of us in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord. Spiritual music is a tool given to us by God to teach and admonish one another in the Lord.

What an incredible gift God has given to us! May we use it to honor and praise and glorify Him! May we use it to encourage and edify one another.

“I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭104:33‬

“While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.” Ps. 146:2

Feelings are not inherently sinful, but neither are they inherently truthful.

Consider these Bible examples:

Martha’s frustration led to her feel that Jesus did not care about her.

The disciples’ fear caused them to question if Jesus cared for them.

The children of Israel felt that God hated them.

Jonah’s feelings of fear and hate made him believe he could run from God, and then after his life was spared, his anger at God’s mercy made him feel it was better to die.

Elijah’s feelings of discouragement, loneliness, and exhaustion convinced him that he was the only faithful servant of God, and later made him feel that his life was not worth continuing.

David’s feelings of lust and power convinced him that adultery and murder were justified.

We could go on and on with examples. In each of the situations mentioned, these people genuinely felt that what they believed was true, and yet, it was not. Their feelings were genuine, but they were not justified because they were not based in truth.
What about us?

We may feel that God does not love us or care about our burdens and trials, but that is not true. He tells us that He does.

We may feel that our sin isn’t a big deal, but that isn’t true. God tells us that it is.

We may feel that we cannot be forgiven, but that isn’t true. He tells us that we can.

What is it that would have helped every person in the Scriptures, and that will help every person today? Knowing, believing, and acting on God’s Word, even when my feelings say something different.

Faith in God must always trump our feelings if our feelings contradict God’s Word.

Every victory in the Christian life is founded in faith - not an emotion, but a decision to believe the Word and character of God in the face of fear, frustration, discouragement, temptation, anger, and every other feeling we can experience.

Do not believe your emotions without question. Just because you feel them deeply does not mean they are not lying to you. Hold them up to the mirror of God’s Word. Take your thoughts and feelings captive and make them obedient to Christ. He will take you from victim to victor.

(Heb. 4:15-16; Ps. 56:3; Ps. 37, 71; Pro. 3:5-6; I Jn. 5:4)

WATCH AND PRAY

Christian, do not seek repose.
Cast your dreams of ease away.
You are in the midst of foes.
Watch and pray.
Watch and pray.

Wicked forces, evil powers,
Gathered in unseen array,
They wait for your unguarded hours.
Watch and pray.
Watch and pray.

Put your heavenly armor on.
Wear it always night and day.
To defeat the evil one,
Watch and pray.
Watch and pray.

Hear, above all, hear your Lord.
Love Him, serve, Him, and obey.
Treasure in your heart His Word.
Watch and pray.
Watch and pray.

Watch, as if on that alone
Comes the issue of the day.
Pray that vict’ry shall be won.
Watch and pray.
Watch and pray.

- W. Harrah

“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭26‬:‭41‬ ‭

“But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬

“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬

“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. Pray without ceasing.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬, ‭17‬

"As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness." (Ps. 17:15)

(I Jn. 2:15-16; Jas. 4:4; Jn. 17:14-20; Rom. 12:1-2)

Psalm 86:17 is precious to me. Many years ago, we were going through a very difficult period in our ministry. My husband had taken a scriptural, but very unpopular, stand as the pastor of our church. The weeks that followed were filled with a great deal of hurt and uncertainty. During that time, I was spending a lot of time in the psalms - reading, praying, seeking comfort and encouragement.

One day, I read this verse and marked it in my Bible. I was very discouraged and I asked the Lord to show me a token for good - something that would confirm in my own heart and in the sight of others that we were trying to follow and please the Lord.

Just a few weeks later, we got an unexpected phone call, and six weeks after that, we were holding a beautiful baby girl in our arms - a baby for which we had been praying for over 11 years. I could not stop crying tears of joy. I would look down in the face of my daughter and think, “She is my token for good.” Even those who hated us at the time could not deny the fact that she was a direct answer to prayer, and a gift from God. The Lord used her birth to soften hearts, and over time, to restore relationships. He also used it to help me greatly, and to give me the comfort and courage I needed.

Her first name means “unexpected gift” and “praise the Lord”, and her middle name means “the Lord has heard”.

How I praise the Lord that He is “full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth!” (Vs. 15)

My “token for good” is all grown up now, and I will never cease to thank the Lord for her, for my son (another “token” God gave us 20 months later), and for the Lord’s help and comfort.

“I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.” (Vs. 12)

If you are in a season of waiting or weariness, let me encourage you to keep trusting the Lord. Cling to His Word. Pour your heart out to Him. He is good and faithful. His timing and His ways are perfect.

“My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭5:3‬ ‭

“But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭59:16‬
