You shall see your TEACHER

While from behind

A voice shall sound

In your ears=

Walk in it'” Isaiah 30:20-21

Sometimes we go through

DARK DAYS in this life=

Where it becomes

Difficult to think or pray

But we have to

KEEP LOOKING for the

MESSAGES from God

We have to keep looking

For the messages from others=

We have to

Take the MESSAGE

To heart

OUR MESSAGE=

And to whom

Has the arm

Of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah 53:1

From hearing the MESSAGE

Is heard

Through the word=about Christ” Romans 10:17

Of the cross is foolishness

To those who are perishing

But to us

Who are being saved

It is

The power of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18

We have to

TAKE GOD'S MESSAGE

To heart=we have

To look for it

From others

And we have to go back

And read the OLD READINGS

We have to look for

The MESSAGE of the psalms=

The proverbs=as well as

Jesus' message

From the NEW TESTAMENT

The teachings of Jesus=

The teachings of the psalms=

CAN SUSTAIN US

In times of trouble

This ADVENT we need

One another's feet” John 13:14

Ever lasting MESSAGE TO HEART

In Jesus' name
