“Finding the Secret Place”

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, am the God of Israel. ~ Isa. 45:3

25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him. 26 It is

good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. 27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth.

28 Let him sit alone and keep silent, because God has laid it on him;

~ Lam. 3:25-28

22 And he arose that night and took

his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.

23 He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had. 24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.

25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. 26 And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!” 27 So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.” 8 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

29 Then Jacob asked,

saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And

He said, “Why is it that you ask about

My name?” And He blessed him there. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” 31 Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.~ Genesis 32:22-31

28 Let him sit alone and keep silent, because God has laid it on him;

~ Lam. 3:25-28

2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. ~ Psalm 131:2

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope. ~ Psalm 130:5

How Deep the Father’s Love For Us

Stuart Townsend

How deep the Father’s love for usHow vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only SonTo make a wretch His treasure


Stuart Townsend

How great the pain of searing lossThe Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the chosen OneBring many sons to glory


Stuart Townsend

Behold the Man upon a crossMy sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed I hear my mocking voiceCall out among the scoffers


Stuart Townsend

It was my sin that held Him thereUntil it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me lifeI know that it is finished


Stuart Townsend

I will not boast in anythingNo gifts, no power, no wisdomBut I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection


Stuart Townsend

Why should I gain from His reward?I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heartHis wounds have paid my ransoms
