God, My Warrior

Journaling reads:  “The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.”  Zeph. 3:17

Some of the other versions of the Bible render the word “mighty” as “strong warrior.”  I like that!  And I’m glad because that tells me that God goes to battle for me, not against me!  When I think about this verse, I picture Him rejoicing as I enter heaven and singing with joy that I am finally home.....really home!  My eternal home!  But, He isn’t just going to take care of my future, He is taking care of me in the present!  He is with me moment by moment, every step of the way through my day!  And He took care of my past by dying on the cross for my sins!  Hallelujah!  1/4/24

O Thou, in all Thy might so far

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer (1876)

1 O THOU in all thy might so far, In all thy love so near,

Beyond the range of sun and star, And yet beside us here.

2 What heart can comprehend thy name, Or searching find thee out,

Who art within, a quickening flame,  A presence round about?

3 Yet though I know thee but in part, I ask not, Lord, for more;

Enough for me to know thou art,To love thee and adore.

4 And dearer than all things I know Is childlike faith to me,

That makes the darkest way I go An open path to thee.
