While we were yet sinners...

I am reading a book by Elyse Fitzpatrick called Comforts from Romans . The more I read Romans the more I am totally amazed at our great God and the more I want to worship Him. From chapter 5: v. 6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. v.8-10 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.  Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.  For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

O Great God

O great God of highest heav'n Occupy my lowly heart Own it all and reign supreme Conquer every rebel pow'r Let no vice or sin remain That resists Your holy war You have loved and purchased me Make me Yours forever more I was blinded by my sin Had no ears to hear Your voice Did not know Your love within Had no taste for heaven's joys Then Your Spirit gave me life Opened up Your word to me Through the gospel of Your Son Gave me endless hope and peace Help me now to live a life That's dependent on Your grace Keep my heart and guard my soul From the evils that I face You are worthy to be praised With my every thought and deed O great God of highest heav'n Glorify Your Name through me You are worthy to be praised With my every thought and deed O great God of highest heav'n Glorify Your Name through me ~Sovereign Grace Praise

Jacob's Ladder

Genesis 28:10-17      Then Jacob departed from Beersheba and went toward Haran. He came to a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head,and lay down in that place. He had a dream, and behold, a ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants. Your descendants will also be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and in you and in your descendants shall all the families of the earth be blessed. Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.
