Oh how good it is to be finished...


GOD is beyond faithful...He has kept me sane after 3 long intense months of summer school...and now I can joyfully say...I AM FINISHED!!!!!!!! :) Thank you LORD.

PSALM 34:4-10 (ESV)

I sought the LORD, and He answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to Him are radiant and their faces shall never be ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles. The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delievers them. Oh taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints, for those fear Him have no lack! The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

A Mighty Fortress is Our God


Let the word of Christ
Dwell in you richly in all wisdom,
Teaching and admonishing one another
With psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
Singing with grace in your hearts to God.

Colossians 3:16

A Mighty Fortress is Our God
Words and Lyrics by Martin Luther, 1529

A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
