The Lord's Pressence

 I found this in the church bulletin of Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH and found it inspiring. I copied it below.


The Lord's Presence
by Mrs. Jonathan Goforth

May the Lord's presence for the new year be:

Above You - To Guard
"Know therefore this day and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath there is none else" (Deut. 4:39).

Underneath To Support
"The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee, and shall say say, destroy them" (Deut. 33:27).

Behind - As A Rear Guard
"For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight, for the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your reward." (Isa. 52:12).

Before - To Lead
"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight" (Isa. 45:2)

At Your Right Hand - To Protect
"I have set the Lord always before me, because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." (Psalm 16:8)

Round About - To Shield From Storms
"As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about His People from henceforth even forever." 
(Psa. 125:2)

Within - As Companion and Comforter
"And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to talk in my statues, and ye shall keep my judgements and do them" (Ezekiel 36-37) "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20).

Lord, Teach Me And Help Me:

  This was copied from the 02/25/2024 bulletin from the Calvary Baptist Church of Portsmouth NH . Lord, Teach Me and Help Me;     Teach me, my Lord, to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life-           In the disappointments,          In the thoughtlessness of others,          In the insincerity of those I trusted,           In the unfaithfulness of those whom I relied.     Let me put myself aside          To think of the happiness of others,          To hide my little pains and heartaches  so that I may be           the only one to suffer them. Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path. Let me so use it that it may mellow me;          Not harden nor embitter me;          That it may make me patient, not irritable;          That it may make be broad in my forgiveness, not narrow,     haughty and overbearing. As I go my rounds from one distraction to another, let me often whisper a word of love Thee. My my life be lived in the supernatural, fill of power for

Part Two of My Trip to the Museum of the Bible in Washington DC

This is the part where they had the King James Bibles. It gave some information on the history of it and there were a few King James Bibles too. There might be other photos of this floor where they have the history of the Bible and they will be part of a different blog. It took up the whole floor. There are six floors of the museum with floor having a different theme / part of the Bible. These photos are nice but one should go to the museum to really experience what they have and learn from what they show.  The upper part of the King James Bible sign. Here is the lower part of the sign above showing Bibles.  Here is the same sign as above.  Here is the king who authorized the creation of the King James Bible; King James. He was King James the VI of Scotland then became King James the 1st of England.  Here is the whole display for King James.  Here are more Bibles. Here is a really big Bible.  They have a variety of the King James Authoriz
