"Had Israel been true to God, He could have accomplished His purpose through their honor and exaltation."
"If they had walked in the ways of obedience, He would have made them "high above all nations which He hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honor."
"But because of their unfaithfulness, God's purpose could be wrought out only through continued adversity and humiliation."
"The heaviest burden that we bear is the burden of sin. If we were left to bear this burden, it would crush us. "
"But the Sinless One has taken our place. "The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6."
"He has borne the burden of our guilt. He will take the load from our weary shoulders. He will give us rest."
"The burden of care and sorrow also He will bear."
"He invites us to cast all our care upon Him; for He carries us upon His heart. "
Will we today accept His wonderful offer and listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, to be a True Witness in 2022 ?
The following expresses what I want my life to be in 2022 Will You Join with me?
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
2
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
3
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
4
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
5
Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
6
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
