• “But the misfortune is that people wish to direct God instead of resigning themselves to be directed by Him. We wish to take the lead, and to follow in a way of their own selection instead of submissively and passively following where God sees fit to conduct them. And hence it is, that many souls who are called to the enjoyment of God himself and mot merely to the gifts of God, spend all their lives in pursuing and in feeding on little consolations.” – Madame Guyon

I Will Not Be Afraid by Annie Johnson Flint

Published March 15, 2018 | By womenofchristianity
  • I will not be afraid;
    I will not be afraid;
    I will look upward,
    And travel onward,
    And not be afraid.
  • He says He will be with me;
    He says He will be with me;
    He goes before me,
    And is beside me,
    So I’m not afraid.
  • His arms are underneath me;
    His arms are underneath me;
    His hand upholds me,
    His love enfolds me,
    So I’m not afraid.
  • His Word will stand for ever;
    His Word will stand for ever;
    His truth it shall be
    My shield and buckler,
    So I’m not afraid.
  • He will give grace and glory;
    He will give grace and glory;
    His cross before me,
    His banner o’er me,
    So I’m not afraid.
  • So we go singing onward;
    So we go singing onward;
    We’re pressing forward,
    We’re marching upward,
    To Him unafraid.

Verse of the Day

[The Humbled and Exalted Christ] Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. — Philippians 2:5-8 (NKJV)
