“They attacked me at a moment when I was in distress, but the Lord was my support!” Psalm 18:18

Aged believer, you and I can look back and wonder how it is that we are where we are, and what we are: how we have held on, and held out until now. Here is the whole secret of the case, “But the Lord was my support!”

In the seasons of my greatest difficulty, in all my times of sorrow and danger, when I was filled with fears and doubts, when in deep trouble and afflictions, when all creature help failed me, when my heart worried and vexed me, when my enemies were just ready to overwhelm me, when my feet were almost gone, when my steps had well near slipped, in my darkest nights, in my dreariest days— then the Lord was my support!

My journey has been long, my road has been peculiarly difficult, my heart has been weak, my enemies have been strong, and long ago I must have perished in my afflictions, or been a prey to my foes–but the Lord was my support!

I would have fainted under my heavy burdens, I would have yielded to my enchanting temptations, I would have fled before my powerful foes– but the Lord was my support!

Yes, the Lord has upheld, supported, and supplied me along the treacherous way. To His free grace, to His inviolable faithfulness, and to His unchangeable love, I must ascribe that ,,,

“By the grace of God, I am what I am!” 1 Corinthians 15:10

Words of Wisdom from the Cloud of Witnesses: "Cloud of Witnesses" refers to those in Heaven who have run their races and are now with the Lord. Their words of wisdom are filled with faith, hope, love, and joy that warm our souls. Their words present the eternal truths of God that grow us and give us joy. And their words strengthen our souls, equip our minds, encourage our hearts, and empower us to stand firm in our faith and be motivated, ready, and willing to share the hope we have in Jesus.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith...(Hebrews 12:1-2)

Do You Know Jesus?

The Bible clearly states that everyone has sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). It also emphasizes that while the wages of sin is death, God offers us the incredible gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 6:23).

If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, know that today is the day of salvation (Acts 28). Turn away from your sinful past and turn to Jesus. Remember, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved” (Romans 10:13). Don’t wait—find hope and redemption!
