Wednesday, 9/17/2014 - In Every Condition Todays Devotion: September 17 In Every Condition Your sandals shall be iron and bronze; as your days, so shall your strength be. Deuteronomy 33:25 Recommended Reading 2 Samuel 22:2-4 Reverend John Rippon served as pastor of Carter’s Lane Baptist Church in London for 63 years. Perhaps his greatest legacy was in the hymnals he compiled with the help of his worship minister, Robert Keene. In one of those hymnbooks, a new song appeared. The author simply identified himself as “K,” but most scholars believe the “K” stands for Keene. The title was “How Firm a Foundation,” and the stanzas were all adapted from Bible verses. Stanza two, inspired by Deuteronomy 33:25, says: “In every condition, in sickness, in health; in poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth; at home or abroad, on the land, on the sea, as thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.” When we’re sick, we should ask God for healing. The apostle Paul did so when afflicted by a thorn in his flesh. But whether we’re healed physically or not, the Lord wants us to trust Him for our daily strength. In His grace, God sometimes grants rapid or immediate physical healing. In His love, God always desires our best and asks us to trust Him. Even down to old age all My people shall prove My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love. Attributed to Robert Keene Read-thru-the-Bible Joel 1 – 3 © 2014 Turning Point
