A Very Relevant Reminder

The eyes of the world are on the United States of America

and the impending election.

The eyes of God are over the world.

He is sovereign!

I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.

Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.

Psalm 146:2-3

I shared this message before the last election.

I know it's a bit long for a blog-post but

it's a sermon that seems to grow ever more, not less relevant!

Canadians are deeply concerned and connected to what happens 

'south of the border'!

the above is a sermon preached by Peter Marshall  

whose later career included;

In 1937 Marshall became pastor of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC. 

In 1946 he was appointed as US Senate Chaplain, 

serving from January 4, 1947 until his sudden death of a heart attack 

just over two years later, at age 46.

 It seems this message preached shortly after 

World War II is even more relevant now than then!
and not only for Americans.
This applies to all of us who value freedom!

The eyes of God are over all

The creature plots or prays

And often gets enamored by

The lie of captured gaze

Freedom's price tag is bathed in blood

The truth that sets us free

Is greater than the belly of

Fleeting mortality 

This is what the Sovereign Lord says

I lay a precious stone

A tested cornerstone for faith

To ever rely on

If we reject the Cornerstone

We spurn He who sustains

Lord, open up blind eyes to Truth

While mercy yet remains

The eyes of You are over all

You are Sovereign and just

Dear Lord, You see beneath flesh-shawl

Whether 'In God We Trust'

 

And as we see the Evidence

Of infidels increase

Enlarge through faith the confidence

That fills us with Your peace
