Address—G.H. Hayhoe
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
I'd like to turn first of all to the 8th chapter of Luke.
The 8th chapter of Luke.
And the 22nd verse.
Locate verse 22.
Now it came to pass on a certain day that he went into a ship with his disciples.
And he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake, and they launched forth.
But as they sailed, he fell asleep.
And there came down a storm of wind on the lake, and they were filled with water and were in jeopardy. And they came to him and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a great calm.
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they, being afraid, wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this? For he commandeth even the winds and the water, and they obey him.
Now would you also turn with me to Malachi?
The last book in the Old Testament. Malachi.
And the third chapter.
And the fifth verse.
Then I will come near to you and judge to judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false wearers.
Again, against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and the turn aside the stranger from his right. And fear not me, saith the Lord, For I am the Lord, I change not. Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Return also to Hebrews chapter 1.
Hebrews, chapter 1.
And the tenth verse.
But thou and thou, Lord, in the beginning hath laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands. They shall perish, but thou remainest, and they all shall wax old as doth A garment, and as a vesture shalt thou fold him up, and they shall be changed. But thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
And then in the 13th chapter of Hebrews.
Hebrews, chapter 13.
And verse 6 so that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you, the word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today.
And forever.
And one more passage in Matthew chapter 24.
Matthew, Chapter 24.
Verse 35.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
For older, young people, in reading these verses this afternoon, what I had before me was that this is the time of change. But it's a wonderful thing to have something that doesn't change, to have a person who doesn't change so that we might know what to do in a day like this.
We know that the world is full of uncertainty because they see these changes coming and they don't know what is the answer to their problems. They're turning here and there trying to find an answer to the problems of life. But it's a blessed thing that whether it's a time of change or not, God's Word doesn't change. The Lord Jesus is the same yesterday.
And today and forever, everything in this room might change.
And yet the lights be exactly the same. And the fact that the lights were the same would illuminate whatever condition existed in the room. Whether it was a group of happy believers of this afternoon or whether it was a group of whirlings wouldn't change the character of the light. All that the lights would do was illuminate the situation. And isn't it a wonderful thing that in a changing world like this, in which we live, we have that which is stable that?
00:05:03
Which we can rely upon. If we didn't have that, we would certainly be in uncertainty. It tells us about men of the world in such times. It says men's hearts failing them for fear and for looking after those things that are coming upon the earth. And we can see that today men's hearts are failing them. They just wonder what is ahead. But all I must say, dear young people, how thankful you and I can be to have the precious living.
Word of God and I was thinking of 2 verses in the 119th Psalm 1 is the 89th verse forever? O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven. And then another verse. I've just forgotten the verse in the chapter that says.
Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee. There is nothing that happens in this world that is a surprise to God, always known to Him beforehand. And His Word was prepared for this very time in which we live, so that we might know the way in which we should walk, as in the 142nd Psalm, when my spirit within me was overwhelmed.
Then thou knew.
My path. And perhaps there's some young person here this afternoon and you say that's true of me. My spirit is overwhelmed. I just hardly know what to do. There are situations coming up in my life that I just don't know what to do. Isn't there a lovely second part to that verse? Then at that very time, then thou knewest my path. And so you can turn to one who does know your path.
And He not only knows your path, but in His Word He has given you instruction and wisdom for your pathway.
For how many Ethereum people erect their lives? They try to find out things for themselves apart from the wisdom of God's word. We think of how men began on the earth and sin came in. In this very way. God told Adam and Eve not to eat of that one tree of the garden. He knew that it wasn't for their good to do it.
He was testing their obedience to him, and he put that one prohibition.
To test whether they would rely upon him and believe that he really loved them and sought their good. But what did they do? Well, they reached out to try that one thing that had been forbidden. And as another has said, how often does one forbidden thing hide from her eyes? 1000 blessings. Because there's something that we say.
Well, I want it, I'm going to have it, and it doesn't matter.
What anyone says or thinks, oh, what a solemn thing it is to make such a decision. All that you say, we're young and we have to learn by experience. Yes, Adam was young in that sense. He had just been placed in the garden. His wife was young and they were there to enjoy life. Because when the foundations of the earth were laid, God's delights were with the sons of man. And he made a partner for Adam, for his good and for his.
Happiness in a natural sense.
But how they thought they must try this. And as we often hear the expression, I'll try anything once, that's all they did. They tried something once. But we know the sad results of this decision. We know what it brought upon themselves and upon the human race and dear young people.
How serious it would be if you should try something that would just ruin your life and it would spoil it for the rest. Now I know that the Lord can restore your soul. I know He can bring you back.
One time we know that King David took a look at someone who pleased him very much. He thought he couldn't live without this girl, and so she was brought into his life. But it was to his own sorrow and to his own life.
Because of that sin, God said the sword shall not depart from thy house forever. And David had a course of sorrow in his life because of that one sin, that look, that desire unchecked, which led him to a course that was to the spoiling of his life. Now you say, but wasn't David restored? Oh yeah, David was restored.
Some of the most beautiful thoughts.
Written after David's restoration. But he didn't escape the government of God. He didn't escape that which he brought upon himself by doing it. And as I look into your faces, dear young people, I think if the Lord leaves us here of you having life before you, and what happiness God wants to bring to you, and what blessing you can be to others, if you will just walk in the light and wisdom of God's Word, God's faith said.
00:10:29
Abraham, I will bless thee, and thou shalt be a blessing.
And so it's God's desire to bless you and to make you a blessing. You know, when we speak of blessing you, I don't mean that He necessarily promises you all the material things that you and I might seek after. But are those really the things that bring happiness? The Scripture says the blessing of the Lord. It maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. And perhaps you have noticed in the JMD.
There's a little footnote on that verse and it says this, that it could be translated. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich and toil addeth nothing to it.
In natural things, we work hard to get the things that we really want. And we've heard people say, well, I worked hard to get that car, I worked hard to get that home, I worked hard to fix up my garden like that. Yes, I'm sure you did, because we always have to work for anything materialistic. But the blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich. That's the true riches, and toil adds nothing to it. Why doesn't toil add anything?
Do it well because as we had this morning, every spiritual blessing is a gift. The Torah was through our Savior's work. It's because of what He did and to be in the enjoyment of what we have in Him, His true riches. So it adds nothing to it. That is, we can work for material things, but for the spiritual things, they're a gift, and we're just given the privilege of enjoying them in the path of obedience.
You know, I just like to look at this little portion in the 8th chapter of Luke that we read as a little picture.
First of all, I'd just like to read the 18th birth of this 8th chapter. It says, Take heed therefore how ye hear. For whosoever hath to him shall be given, and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.
And so this is a little word for us all, isn't it? Take heed how ye hear.
Because it isn't just hearing my voice this afternoon that's going to do anything. It's my desire that you would hear the Lord's voice speaking to your heart. And my voice may be just like a sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal to you, but my desire is that you would hear the Lord's voice speaking to your heart. And if you would hear His voice speaking to your heart, I'm sure you're going to get a blessing because He wants to bless you. He wants to encourage you in the pathway.
And it says, Whosoever hath, to him shall be given. It's a wonderful thing to have the privilege of being brought up in a Christian home. It's a wonderful thing to sit under the sound of His word, as we have in these meetings, and as we have so much from Him. He delights to give more, as the little hymn says, For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, he give us, and give us, and give us again. But then it says.
Whosoever hath not from.
Shall be taken even that which he seemed to have. There may be some young people here who seem to have something. Perhaps your parents think you're saved, Perhaps your friends think you're saved. But you only seem to have it. And the task is going to come in your life sooner or later as to whether what you seem to have is real. In other words, whether you really have it or just seem to have it, that test is going to come.
And you may lose even the things.
You seem to have today, yes, we have seen dear young people who have sat in the seats in the meetings. They seem to have a great deal. But today you'll wonder what they do have because they have lost the things they seem to have. And why? Well, just because of what follows here. Change has come and they weren't prepared for those changes because they didn't have the Lord in the vault. They didn't have the Lord in the boat with them. And that's the.
Only way that we can be prepared for the changes that come in life is to have the Lord in the boat with us. So notice this 22nd verse, how it came to pass upon a certain day that He went into a ship with His disciples. Isn't that lovely? He went into a ship with His disciples. Your life and mine is like sailing over the sea of time. We're like little ships going over the sea of time. Oh, I ask you, dear young people.
00:15:22
Have you got the Lord Jesus in the boat with you? You really know Him as your Savior? You're really conscious of His presence too with you.
Well, He entered into a ship with his disciples, and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. This was what I had in regard to change. It seems that in these last few years that the Lord has been saying, as it were, that we have to go to the other side of the lake. Now, that is, things have gone along very stable. Things went along in a fairly even keel.
But I suppose we could say there has been more change in.
The last 10 years than perhaps in any other time of the world's history, tremendous changes have taken place in all kinds of things, in people's ideas of what is right and wrong in the scientific world. Or you can hardly think of anything that we have known in the past to be somewhat stable that hasn't gone through a period of great change.
And isn't it nice that the Lord can be with us in these changes?
As we sail across the sea of time to the other side, as we sail toward the time when the Lord is about to intervene in the affairs of this world, isn't it lovely to hear him say, but let us go onto the other side? Or, dear young people, have you heard his voice speaking to you in this way? That in the midst of these changes, instead of listening to all the voices of man that will say, Oh well.
He used to think that was wrong, but you know, people's ideas have changed today.
Here's the thing that you shouldn't go here or there, but you know, we're living in a changing time. I ask you, in the midst of these changes, are you conscious of having the Lord with you? Because He's the one that changes not. He's the same yesterday and today and forever. And He's able to steer us through all these changes that come and are going to come in this world in which we live.
He said, let us go unto the other side of the lake, and they launched forth. We can't stop the movement of time. We can't stop these changes because they must come. But as I say, the Lord is with us in the midst of this changing world, and He is able to direct our little ship. He is able to lead us in paths that are pleasing unto Him.
But it says as they failed, he fell asleep.
How will I just look at this in a sort of a figurative way now, that is, does it seem as though the Lord were asleep? As to all that's going on to these changes, perhaps it does seem to us sometimes you say, well, I've seen young people do this and that and everything seemed to work out for them. I think the Lord must be asleep or things would be different. And perhaps that's the feeling that you have in your heart. You say, oh, the Lord must be.
In the midst of these changes, all near young people, it may seem that he's asleep, but he knows all about the situation in which you and I find ourselves now. That is, he knows about the cause and he knows about the effect, because the cause was the wind and the effect was the storm. Yes, he knows about the cause of every situation.
I remember hearing of a brother who left the meeting many years ago.
And perhaps 30 years afterwards, he said to somebody, well, I'd still be in the meeting if it wasn't for that particular brother. And he mentioned a name, said I'd still be in the meeting if it wasn't for him. And his brother said to him, yes, he said, but God put that man there. Oh, you say, does God really allow the storms? Is he the cause behind everything?
Why? If you read in the Psalms, I think it's the 107 Psalm.
It tells us in that Psalm, He turned their hearts to hate His people, to deal subtly with His servants. Does the Lord actually control people's attitudes toward us? Yes, He does. Yes, He does. Why did He allow that to take place? Well, He wanted to stir up the nest of the children of Israel. They were just a little too comfortable there in the land of Egypt. They would have just enjoyed looking at the finished product of those. Fine.
00:20:09
Cities that they were engaged in building, if the slavery hadn't been so hard, but the slavery was such that they cried unto the Lord. The pleasure of building those treasure cities was absolutely lost in the slavery of trying to build them. And isn't that just like what the world is today? You worked so hard that when you get the thing you say, I wonder whether it was really worth.
Pauli effort, yes, the Lord turned the heart of the Egyptians to hate his people and to deal subtly with them, to make their burdens heavier. And why? Well, because he didn't want them in Egypt. He wanted to bring them out of that land, and he allowed this so they wouldn't be comfortable there. And you know, if the Lord has some lesson to teach me, might you the very strange means.
He used Job's friends to say some things that weren't very kind about.
Him. But God blessed the latter end of Job more than the beginning, and I wanted to.
So that if things have gone wrong, if there's a cause, and you can perhaps point your finger and say, well, that brother or that sister, you just don't know how they acted or what they did. Yes, but God did and God allowed it. It would never have happened if he hadn't have allowed it. And he's not asleep. He may seem to be asleep, but he's not. He has a blessing in store for you, just as he had for Job and when the children of Israel.
Had finally entered the promised land.
They didn't look back and say, oh, we wish that we had been more comfortable in Egypt, we would have stayed there. No, when they finally entered the land, they said, there hath not failed one word of all his good promise. And so we see that this storm that had come up on the lake, the Lord was behind it all, and he allowed them to come to the point where they were filled with water and were in jeopardy.
He could have stopped it when the storm had begun to progress. Sometimes when we're driving and a storm comes up and then it kind of lets down a bit, we think, isn't that wonderful? The Lord stopped it. But the Lord didn't allow this storm to stop. He just kept on getting worse until her bullet was just about full and they realized that they just couldn't get along without Jesus. They just couldn't get along without Him.
And dear young persons.
That's what the Lord wants to teach you and me. We just can't get along across the sea of life without Jesus. We need to have Him. And in one sense, he's always with us because he says I'll never leave thee nor forsake thee. But we can easily lose the enjoyment of His presence, the sense of His presence. And so isn't it nice what they did here?
And they came to him and awoke him, saying, Master, master.
Where we perish, Yes, they were brought to extremity and they turned to Him as though he didn't know the situation and all. I ask you, in your extremity, have you really cried out? Master, Master, we perish. Have you really come to the point where you find out that he's the only one who can direct your life aright? Well, what is the Lord Jesus do when they cried out then he.
And rebuked the wind and the raging of the sea, and a thief. And there was a calm. Now, as we've been having in the meetings, the Lord doesn't promise to remove all the difficulties. But what happened here was that he stopped this storm and gave them peace, as another place says. And it says here there was a calm. Another scripture says there was a great calm.
And now without the Lord removing the difficulties for us, for I apply this in a spiritual sense, He can give us a calm in our soul.
And that's what we find in the 4th chapter of Philippians. Now there tells us about all the difficulties and all the things that we find so hard to overcome. And then it says, let your request be made known unto God, and the peace of God which passeth all this standing shall keep your heart and minds through Christ Jesus. The Lord may not stop the storm of what He can give.
You peace in your heart, and it's a wonderful thing to go through life without peace in your heart. That realization of His presence and His company and that as each difficulty arises, just to hear Him within whisper those lovely words, Peace be still, peace be still. Yes, dear young person, He can give you that. And I know when you come to meetings like this, there are a lot of conflicts that go on.
00:25:27
There are a lot of things that we face in a very special way at such meetings as this, as regards friendships and as regards things that mold our lives. I believe young people go away from meetings like this having made decisions in their hearts in a marvelous and a remarkable way. I believe that the result of these meetings very often can be a turning point in your life either to go on for the Lord Jesus.
Or perhaps to say it's no use.
I think I'm going to give up and perhaps our turn aside into the world and to worldly things. Well, may the Lord speak those words to your heart. May you hear Him say to you this very afternoon, peace be still. He controls the 'cause He controls the effect. Both the wind ceased, which was the cause, and the wave too, which was the effect, and He can control the whole situation.
All those go on here and notice in the 25th verse. And he said unto them, where is your faith now? That is, could they not trust him? Could they not have confidence in Him? And I ask my own heart and I ask yours, can we not have confidence in him that he is overall, that he is able to work everything out? And if there is something that is troubling you at this very moment, if there's some situation that seems overwhelming.
Coming to you. He knows your path, He knows all about it, and he wants to whisper in your ear right now. Peace be still. Oh, how lovely it is to have Jesus in the boat, to know that he's with us, that he's not going to forsake us. And I cannot say. It may seem that he's asleep to your situation, but he isn't. And if you think he is, just speak to him and he'll reply. Just speak to Him and you'll find that He's ready as a little.
Says he'll speak peace to your soul at this very moment.
And now I'd like to turn to that verse we read in Malachi.
Malachi Chapter 3.
And the fifth verse.
And I will come near to you to judgment, and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false wearers.
And against those that will cross the hireling in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, and the turn side the stranger from his right. And fear not me, saith the Lord, For I am the Lord, I change not.
Here there was a condition of saying how that is described here in very solemn words, and as we read them, we think of the very days in which we live and the description of all kinds of things going on. And as it tells us here, God wasn't interfering, but He said He would, that the time was going to come when He was going to set things right. But for the time being it seemed as though He were not interfering. But this was that because He had changed. No, it wasn't.
Because he had changed, he said. I am the Lord.
I change not. Isn't that a comfort to your heart and mind? And then he says, Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. And that is where poor failing things at best. Oh, how often we fail. And here I think in this chapter we have described A moral condition of things such as we find in the world. And what is the thing that is the day of our souls.
Is that the Lord doesn't change and I just like to say to you dear young people to be very careful about accepting the ideas of the world today as to the change of moral standards. God hasn't changed it tells us you know in his word quite often in fact, the word same is one of the titles, one of the names of God himself. He doesn't change and his thoughts about sin are just the same now as.
Always were. And I beseech you, dear young people, not to allow the current thoughts of the day to affect your mind. In these things. We need to have God's standard, because when he judges, he judges according to his own standards and not the standards of man, it says.
00:30:00
All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. It isn't according to human standards, but according to the Word of God.
And we can certainly see that the fear of God is disappearing, but he changes not. And then it says, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Now you know, Jacob was a poor failing thing. Many of us are well acquainted with the life of Jacob, and all the strange things that he did to try and scheme his life for the very best advantage for himself.
But those schemes of Jacob didn't really get him anywhere in the end.
Those schemes brought a lot of trouble on him, but the things that he was seeking after God had promised to him In any case. He had said that he would take care of him and bless him and bring him back to his own land in peace. But he schemed to get all the things that God had promised to give him apart from his scheming. But did he change in his feelings toward Jacob? Oh, this is what I want to impress on you, dear young people. The world may change. Its standards may change.
And the condition of things all about us may seem to change, but here's one who change is not. And we change because we are affected by the spirit of the age in which we live by he doesn't. And he says, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed all how patient he is. Perhaps are the young person here today. And you say, well, I've made a mess of my life. I'm afraid I've ruined my life.
For all he's not going to consume.
He still loves you. Come back to him and you'll find his heart is still the same. You'll find that he hasn't in any way changed in his love towards you. He tells us from the 13th chapter of John having loved his own which were in the world. He loved them unto the end.
And when we have failed as believers, Satan likes to come and say to us, well, it's all up with you now. You're no use anymore. Oh dear young person, you are of some use. The Lord can restore you and bless you. You may still have to suffer like David did in the government of God. But also some of the lovely utterances of David in the latter part of his life showed that the Lord hadn't changed, that he was still precious to his heart. And he can.
To yours too, and He can encourage you even in the midst of failure.
Now let's turn over to Hebrews chapter.
1.
Hebrews, chapter 1.
The 10th verse. And our Lord in the beginning hath laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thine hands. They shall perish, but thou remaineth, and they all shall wax old as doth a garment.
Well, here we find.
The material things, the universe all about us, even this is going to pass away. In the passage in Malachi, we see moral values had changed, but the Lord hadn't changed. Here we find that even the material universe is going to be taken away. They shall perish. And we see a little bit of the material things failing even today.
The present oil shortage.
The energy shortage men are beginning to realize that things just are not going to go on in this world without some change forever. They realize that material things are going to change and if the Lord leaves us here, we don't know what material changes may be ahead even in this country when hardships we may have to face. But in the midst of all this.
There is a one in whom we can turn to whom we can turn, and isn't it lovely?
But it says here they shall perish, but thou remainest, they all shall wax the oldest of the garment, and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed. But thou art the same, thou art the same. And so there may be someone here, and you have suffered some kind of a material disappointment.
And maybe something that you held dear has been spoiled. Perhaps you.
Lost your health all may these words ring in your ear today Thou art the same. Now there's one who can be with you. There's One who can sustain you in the midst of all this. And he is the same. And his years won't fail. And we don't know what is ahead in 1974 if the Lord doesn't come. But his years don't fail. He loves his own to the end, and He is sufficient for you.
00:35:06
75 if he should leave us here.
He's sufficient for you if it's next year or the year after, and we can count upon him. His years don't fail. How lovely it is of them that there is one who changes not. Now let us turn to this other passage in the 13th chapter of Hebrews.
And the sixth verse.
So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God, whose faith follow considering the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.
Business grand, that we can boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear, but man shall do unto me. And then it speaks here of those who are the leaders of the guide, It says, whose faith follows. And may I just mention here what my father used to very often say to us? He used to say, remember.
Boys, it doesn't say whose failures follow, it says whose faith follows.
Perhaps some older person, perhaps myself. I've been a disappointment to you. Well, the Lord isn't a disappointment. And perhaps there's someone that you may have looked up to and he has disappointed you because it tells us in the Psalms I have seen an end of all perfection. The the 11TH chapter of Hebrews gives us the history of a large number of faithful ones, but they weren't without failure.
Now God gives us in the assembly.
Those who seek our good, but they're not without failure, but they point you to Christ, and today I want to point you to the Lord Jesus. When they spoke against Paul in Corinthians and said his bodily presence was weak and his speech contemptible, what was his reply? He said we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord.
How may you look beyond even those who should be the guide?
And may you see the Lord Jesus, he's the same yesterday and today and forever. So we see there may be a moral breakdown. There may be the turning away from all those standards that God has established. But he says I am the Lord, I change not. There may be a breakdown of all kinds of material things, but it says thou art the same, and thy ears shall not fail. Now those who have been guided.
May at times disappoint us. We may see failure. Enormous, you see in me.
What a privilege to point to the Lord Jesus. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today and forever. Oh dear young people, I want to say to you that if you make him the guide and the object of your life, you will have in your ship one who is able to lead you across to the other side. One who is able to take you through all the storms, One who will never fail you all the way.
And oh, it's my desire that you might realize this in your youth. And if you have never stopped to think of this before, may you realize that He has said, let us go to the other side. He has allowed this change that's taking place in this present period, but he also wants to guide you and direct you and bless you. And I'd just like to close, if you will, for a moment by looking at.
Habakkuk, the last three.
The last three verses I think it is of the prophet Habakkuk. I think it's the 5th last book in the Old Testament.
The 5th last book in the Old Testament.
Now I just like to read here the last three verses.
Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vine. The labor of the olives shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat. The flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will joy in the God of my salvation, for the Lord God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hind's feet.
Then he will just make me to walk upon mine high places to the chief singer on my stringed instrument. Isn't this a beautiful ending to this prophet here he says no matter what goes wrong, he enumerates a lot of things and says supposing everything fails, supposing everything goes wrong. He said that doesn't touch my portion because he said, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy.
00:40:19
God of my salvation and that's the one to whom I want to point you this afternoon, dear young people, that you might joy in the God of your salvation and just a little comment again. We mentioned this the other day, but perhaps it will bear repeating. The Lord God is my strength and he will make my feet like hind's feet. As we were traveling out here, we saw one of those little Hinds, one of those young deer and as it came to.
And oh, it was so nice to see that little deer take that spring and go up over the fence. It was so graceful. They didn't have to open a gate like they would with a cow, nor that little deer. It just took such a nice spring and went over. But you know, I've always enjoyed what it says here. It says and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
When that little deer took that spring, it came down on the other side, but the Lord says you don't have to come down on the other side.
Side because you might feel, well, I've come to the meetings and somehow I think I have got up, but I'm afraid I might come down on the other side. It might be quite a bump. Well, isn't this lovely? The Lord says you don't have to come down on the other side. He says you can walk on your high places now. That is, he says, I'll take you up and I'll provide a place where you can walk right above the whole situation all the rest of the way. And so he can.
Make the wind cease, he can make the waves feast.
And he can say to your soul and mine this afternoon, peace be still. He can be with us and so and have a **** thought about this. He turned to his chief singer and he says make a song out of that. Put this to music. He said this is worth thinking about. And dear young people, this is worth singing about. The world's songs pass away. But if you and I find a sure and blessed resource in the Lord Jesus.
But we'll say to the chief singer on my stringed instruments, I've.
Something to sing about now, because I've got the one who is the same yesterday and today and forever, and I know that He's in control and He's going to guide me through all the changes, guide me safely home. May the Lord give us more of the joy and sense of His presence all the way.
