O God, the blessed assurance of all who trust in thee: We give thanks for thy servant Fanny Crosby, and pray that we, inspired by her words and example, may rejoice to sing ever of thy love, praising our Savior; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Already known as a poet, Fanny Crosby, at age 44, writes her first hymn. Over the next 50 years, she composes more than 8,000 hymns, including classics like Blessed Assurance and To God Be the Glory, becoming one of the most prolific hymnwriters in history. pic.twitter.com/j6RkRaG0CK

Lord of the hosts of heaven,
our salvation and our strength,
without you we are lost:
guard us from all that harms or hurts
and raise us when we fall;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

After a very moody day in Staffordshire, the cloud finally lifted a little to let the sun rays shine through…

Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;
a fire was kindled against Jacob,
his anger mounted against Israel;
because they had no faith in God,
and did not trust his saving power.
Yet he commanded the skies above,
and opened the doors of heaven;
and he rained down upon them manna to eat,
and gave them the grain of heaven.
Man ate of the bread of the angels;
he sent them food in abundance.

–Psalm 78:21-25

Morning everyone I hope you are well. The road to Brothers Water. At just under 1500 feet, the highest pass in the Lake District. Kirkstone Pass has its own beauty plus a pub at the top after a long walk. Have a great day.#LakeDistrict pic.twitter.com/CU0Ya37qDJ
