Listen For The Signal 

And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the
mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go
out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines - 2 Samuel 5:24 

There are signs of the LORD's moving which should move us. The Spirit of God
blows where He listeth, and we hear the sound thereof. Then is the time for us
to be more than ever astir. We must seize the golden opportunity and make the
most we can of it. It is ours to fight the Philistines at all times; but when
the LORD Himself goes out before us, then we should be specially valiant in the
war. 

The breeze stirred the tops of the trees, and David and his men took this for
the signal for an onslaught, and at their advance the LORD Himself smote the
Philistines. Oh, that this day the LORD may give us an opening to speak for Him
with many of our friends! Let us be on the watch to avail ourselves of the
hopeful opening when it comes. Who knows but this may be a day of good tidings;
a season of soul-winning. Let us keep our ear open to hear the rustle of the
wind and our minds ready to obey the signal. Is not this promise, "Then shall
the LORD go out before thee," a sufficient encouragement to play the man? Since
the LORD goes before us, we dare not hold back.

Friend Of Sinners 
Taken from the Gadsby Hymnal # 1052  Words - Augustus Montague Toplady,
1740-1778  Music - Jeff Koonce and Brian T. Murphy, 2004 




Redeemer! Whither should I flee, 
Or how escape the wrath to come? 
The weary sinner flies to thee 
For shelter from impending doom; 
Smile on me, gracious Lord, 
And show thyself the Friend sinners now  Smile on me, gracious Lord, 
And show thyself the Friend sinners now. 




Beneath the shadow of thy cross 
The heavy laden soul finds rest; 
I would esteem the world but dross,  So I might be of Christ possessed.  I'd
seek my every joy in thee, 
Be thou both life and light to me. 




Close to the highly shameful tree,  Jesus, my humbled soul would cleave; 
Despised and crucified with thee, 
With thee resolved to die and live;  This prayer and this ambition mine, 
Living and dying to be thine. 




There fastened to the rugged wood 
By holy love's resistless chain, 
And life deriving from thy blood, 
Never to wander wide again, 
There may I bow my suppliant knee,  And own no other Lord but thee.
