I Have No Fear
\nAuthor: Pat Aman<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isaiah 41:10
\nSo do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The devotional tonight is simple. Not a taught lesson. Just a thought from my heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have gone to bed tonight, but I am unable to go to sleep. I prayed but still not able to relax. The wheels of my mind turning in different directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So much death and disaster in our world. But, I also see people helping people. Neighborhoods coming together. Yes, God is in control. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I lay here I have started thinking of the old hymn. “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This words of this great hymn was written by: Elisha A. Hoffman in
\n1887.
\nMusic by: Anthony J. Showalter, circa 1900.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Showalter wrote this tune and words to the refrain after hearing from two friends whose wives had died, and asked Hoffman to write the rest of the lyrics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to share with you the words of this great hymn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Leaning on the Everlasting Arms”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What a fellowship, what a joy divine,
\nLeaning on the everlasting arms;
\nWhat a blessedness, what a peace is mine,
\nLeaning on the everlastings arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,
\nLeaning on the everlasting arms;
\nO how bright the path grows from day to day,
\nLeaning on the everlasting arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What have I to dread, what have I to fear,
\nLeaning on the everlasting arms;
\nI have blessed peace with my Lord so near,
\nLeaning on the everlastings arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leaning, leaning,
\nSafe and secure from all alarms;
\nLeaning, leaning
\nLeaning on the everlasting arms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can say, I did not start thinking about this old hymn out of the blue. It was a God Wink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know that God through the Holy Spirit laid the words of this song on my heart.
\nHe was letting me know that as long as I lean on Jesus everything will be alright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all need to learn to lean on Jesus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We need to lean on those
\neverlasting arms. And as the songs says, “What a fellowship, what a joy
\ndivine, what a peace of mind, with no dread, with no fear, I have blessed peace, because my Lord is near, Leaning on those everlasting arms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hope that as you read these words that you now also will lay all your troubles and worry in the arms of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
