Sabbath Keeping

"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." 

~ Isaiah 41:13 ~

 "I Take Thy hand, and fears grow still
Behold Thy face, and doubts remove
Who would not yield his wavering will
To perfect Truth and boundless Love!"
~ Samuel Johnson ~

"Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves -
regret for the past and fear for the future."
~ Fulton Ousler ~

"Without an end or bound

Thy life lies all outspread in light

Our lives feel Thy life all around,

Making our weakness strong, our darkness bright

Yet is it neither wilderness nor sea,

But the calm gladness of a full eternity."

~ F. W. Faber ~

"Fear is a darkroom where negatives develop." ~ Usman B. Asif ~ 

"What Thou shalt to-day provide,

Let me as a child receive

What to-morrow may betide,

Calmly to Thy wisdom leave.

"Tis enough that Thou wilt care,

Why should I the burden bear?"

~ J. Newton ~

"There is much in the world to make us afraid.  There is much more in our faith to make us unafraid."  ~ Frederick W. Cropp ~

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

~ 2 Timothy 1:7 ~

I'm breaking with tradition and ceasing "blessings" on Sabbath Keeping. Now, there will be a "Prayer Keeping" section; if you'd like your name, or initial, added to this list, please let me know either by commenting on this post or by a private e-mail. God knows you by name and knows your needs so just your name, added to each Sabbath Keeping post, will let me and others remember you in prayer. I still keep my private prayer list but will not post your name, or initial, publicly unless you request.
