Praise God for Each View

Records indicate that 39 percent of those who viewed Lamp in a Corner, during the last 30 days, were from outside the United States.  My heartfelt thanks to each of you.  I can’t find the words to tell you how grateful I am for you.

Thank you to our fellow Americans who viewed as well.  You are equally appreciated.

To God be the praise and glory for using this Blog to reach out to people around the world.  When Lamp in a Corner was started, I had no idea that this would happen.  I am so grateful, Lord.  You alone are the One to be praised.

Fill My Cup, Lord

By Richard Blanchard

(Verse 1)

Like the woman at the well, I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy.
And then I heard my Savior speaking—
“Draw from My well that never shall run dry.” 

(Chorus) 

Fill my cup, Lord;
I lift it up Lord;
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul.
Bread of Heaven, feed me till I want no more.
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole. 

(Verse 2) 

There are millions in this world who are seeking
For pleasures earthly goods afford.
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord. 

(Repeat Chorus) 

(Verse 3) 

O my brother if the things that this world gives you
Leave hungers that won’t pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you
If you kneel to Him and humbly pray— 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

(See: John 4:1-42)

The Crucifixion of Jesus Was Predicted

Every time I read the 22^nd Psalm I am amazed.  The Holy Spirit inspired King David of Israel to prophesy in detail about the agony of Jesus Christ during the crucifixion.  David lived about 1,000 years before Jesus was born, but he was able to describe a pain so intense that The Messiah could count His bones.  Even worse than that, as He bore the penalty for every sin ever committed, Jesus was temporarily out of the intense, intimate communion He had with the Father from all eternity. (John 1:1, 1:18; Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible on Matthew 27:46)

Psalm 22

(A Psalm of David) 

Verse 1: My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?

(See Matthew 27:46)

 

Verses 7-8: All who see me deride me;

They sneer, they shake their heads, saying,

“Turn him over to the LORD; let Him save him;

Let Him rescue him, because He delights in him.”

(See Matthew 27:39-44; Mark 15:29-32; Luke 23: 35-37; John19:)

 

Verses 14-15: I am poured out like water,

And all my bones are out of joint;

My heart is like wax;

It is melted within me.

My strength is dried up like a piece of pottery,

And my tongue clings to my jaws;

(See John 19:28)

And You lay me in the dust of death.

 

Verses 17-18: They pierced my hands and my feet.

I can count all my bones.

They look, they stare at me;

They divide my garments among them,

And they cast lots for my clothing.

(See Matthew 27:35; Mark 15:24; Luke23:33-34; John19:18, 23-24)

 

“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved…” (Acts 16:31 NASB)
