writted to David by Bill Spence - March 2004

Psalm 68:28, "Thy God hath ordained thy strength."
Ordained, provided, and secured by His omnipotence.

There's a lovely verse which says:

I am tired, Lord let me furl my sail,
I hear thro' the mists how the sad waves wail.
My heart is quailing, and sick with fear,
Ask me no more on yon course to steer.
Child, take this word again for Me;
As thy days, so shall thy strength be.

George Matheson says, "Seest thou clouds in tomorrow's sky which thy present strength is inadequate to meet? God has not given thee thy present strength to meet the future, but to meet the present. When thy morrow shall become thy day thou shalt learn thy power over it. George Matheson knew the truth of this.

Love to you both in the Lord. Stand in His strength.

Through grace alone,

Bill and Barb Spence
