Think of gathering at the River in Heaven after the rapture! Wow!!! Wonderful thoughts of heaven and being in a perfect place!
Revelation 22:1-7
Vr 1 "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb."
Shall we gather at the river
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With it's crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Soon we'll reach the shining river;
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace.
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river,
Gather wit the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
We can't even begin to imagine what heaven will be like, but isn't it wonderful to think of all the glories and beauties that are there. The loved ones we have missed here on here on earth will be there and we'll all be gathered there with our Saviour!!!

"It Is Well With My Soul"
Isaiah 48:10-22
Vr 18 "O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea."
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrow like sea billows roll,
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul;
It is well, it is well with my soul.
And, Lord, hast the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll.
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend;
"Even so" -it is well with my soul.
God gives us His peace when we meet His requirements. Many times He sends unusual circumstances into our lives to make us more like His Son. If all things are accepted as from Him, then His peace is the result.

"My Faith Looks Up to Thee"
Hebrews 11:1-6
Vr 1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not see."
My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
Pray believing and have Faith that God will answer your prayers. I love watching my children as their prayers are answered! Just recently my daughter, age 19, was praying about a situation. The Lord gave her a job that was wonderful for college, then he took it away. Tabitha was not understanding why this happened. The day she lost the one job, along with 70 some other people, she gets a call from her former job in KY. The Lord took care of her even though it meant she was going back to the college she had attended last yr. He provided her a full time job that will care for her bill and other needs while away from home!! Have Faith in God that he will take care of you!!
May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
You can experience things in life that yes, you may not ever become famous from but allow the Lord to use those experiences in your life to change you! Let your Faith look to God! Don't do in doubt what you would of done in Faith!
Reflection of this song: Ray Palmer's faith was not in himself or some "higher power," but in Christ. Our faith also must be in Him. The Bible says that Christ "was in all points tempted like as we are, yet [He was] without sin" Hebrews 4:15. In every situation that we find ourselves in, remember, Christ has been there too.

"All Hail the Power of Jesus Name"
Philippians 2:1-11
Vr 9 - "Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name."
All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all.
Let ev'ry kindred, ev'ry tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all.
I Love this song! In a book I was reading here is what the author said about this song.
" Christ left His majestic position and condescended to provide salvation for lowly human beings. May He enjoy an exalted position in our hearts today. He and only He is worthy to be Lord of all."
WOW!! what a thought!!! Do we give the Lord the exalted position in our hearts? Something to think about and put into action.
Do you worship, praise and give the Lord power in your life and heart?
