Lifted From The Depths

READ: Psalm 40:1-5

I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit. —Psalm 40:1-2

About this cover

A British submarine lay disabled on the ocean floor. Several days passed and the crew lost hope of being rescued. The prospect was especially dim because they had not been able to communicate their exact position to ships on the surface. The commanding officer explained to the men that they didn’t have much longer to live, and he suggested that they sing a hymn. So together, they sang these words: "The darkness deepens—Lord, with me abide."

As the oxygen supply began to run out, the men gradually weakened. One sailor was affected more quickly than the others and lurched forward, crashing against the vessel’s surfacing equipment. Suddenly the faulty mechanism began to operate, and the vessel slowly rose from the ocean floor. They all made it back to port safely.

Greater than any deliverance from a literal sea is God’s provision for those who are trapped in the ocean of unbelief. Only a miracle of grace can bring us out of the pit of sin and degradation.

If you are caught in the grip of sin, Jesus alone can give you a new start. If you put your trust in the Savior, you will be lifted out of the waters of judgment and into the sunlight of God’s forgiveness. —Henry G. Bosch

From sinking sand He lifted me,
With tender hand He lifted me;
From shades of night to plains of light,
O praise His name, He lifted me!  —Gabriel

God’s grace can lift you from the plight of sin into the light of salvation.

Todd Heisler The Rocky Mountain News

The night before the burial of her husband's body, Katherine Cathey refused to leave the casket, asking to sleep next to his body for the last time. The Marines made a bed for her, tucking in the sheets below the flag. Before she fell asleep, she opened her laptop computer and played songs that reminded her of 'Cat,' and one of the Marines asked if she wanted them to continue standing watch as she slept. "I think it would be kind of nice if you kept doing it," she said. "I think that's what he would have wanted."

[The Mayor]

Hi Feather..

[The Mayor]

My God, what a heart wrenching story.. I can only imagine how difficult it was for that Marine standing guard. I have difficulty stopping the tears in my eyes from flowing.

I would be an Honor standing guard but at the same time one of the most difficult to do.. May God give this woman comfort..

Welcome Home

[Soaring Feather]

Gorgeous day in my necks of the woods!

[Soaring Feather]

PE, I read this story a couple of days ago. It's is a most heart wrenching account that I have read in a long time.


God Bless her and comfort her.

[The Mayor]

Here too, sunny and 60+ all weekend.

[Samwise]

Heart breaking.

[Professional Engineer]

Surrendered Crowns

READ: Revelation 4:6-11

You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power. —Revelation 4:11

Once during her reign, England’s Queen Victoria listened to a chaplain preach a sermon about the second coming of Christ. Those near the royal box noticed that the queen’s eyes were filled with tears.

When the service ended, she asked to see the chaplain alone. Seeing her great emotion, he asked why she was so moved. She replied, "Because of what you said about the coming again of the world’s rightful King, I wish still to be here when He returns that I might lay my crown at His blessed feet!"

There are many incentives for faithful service that involve both our acts and our motives. These rewards, which are designated as "crowns" in the New Testament, are to be earned by those who have first received the gift of eternal life.

Perhaps you’re saying, "I would never expect to be rewarded for what I do for Christ." Have you considered what you may do with any crown you receive on that day? There will be no trophy cases in heaven; no gloating over earthly accomplishments. Redeemed sinners will have the transcendent joy of casting their crowns before the throne and saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power" (Revelation 4:11). —Paul Van Gorder

Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own!  —Bridges

Heaven’s crowns are not for keeping but for casting at Christ’s feet.
