]]>  In many places throughout scripture, the Word of God tells us to be strong, coura geous, and not worry, but even so, Paul confessed that the constant resistance from the pagan community, unbelieving Jews, and imposters imitating Christianity in Mace donia caused him and his companions to begin to experience fear. God used the arrival of Titus, a brother in Christ, to alleviate the tension of their situation. And God may do the same for us when we are feeling similarly; he may send a special person or persons at just the time we need to be encouraged.

His love is void of any deficient or flawed characteristic. His love is unfading—it never wanes, weakens, or diminishes even in the slightest—as he is love and he never lessens, weakens, or changes.

We can follow David’s example of casting our cares on the Lord: David simply acknowledged his fear—simultaneously acknowledging his weakness and lack of trust—and then asked for God’s intervention and the removal of his fear and worries.

]]>  Our number one purpose is to glorify God and worship him forever, and it’s for our good! Through Christ, we are reconciled to our heavenly Father—Jews and Gentiles alike—and we become part of the magnificent story of God, who is building his beautiful community of worshipers. It is his will to build his kingdom in this way. God, from the beginning of time, has been positioning all things to glorify him!

The number of compositions alone in this hymnal indicated their commitment and time investment to proclaim the glory of God. One of the writers in the hymnal was Charles Wesley, who is attributed to penning over 6,000 songs with some historians estimating upward to 8,000. The hymnal sits with several others in an antique bookcase in our home. They are one of the many reminders to me of the wealth of creativity inspired by the Holy Spirit to give honor to the majestic one, the Ancient of Days.
