GOD THE FATHER >> Faithfulness of God
SDAH 103
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!


Text
1
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home!
2
Under the shadow of thy throne,
still may we dwell secure;
sufficient is thine arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3
Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting, thou art God,
to endless years the same.
4
A thousand ages, in thy sight,
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night,
before the rising sun.
5
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come;
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home!

Our lesson tells us that God proved His unique divinity by demonstrating that He alone knows the future. There might be some time when we feel anxious of what tomorrow may bring, but remember that God gave us the assurance that He will always be with us everyday of our lives. (Lesson 9, 1st Quarter 2021 -Tuesday, Persian “Messiah”, 2/23/2021)
Trust in God is not just a result of a realization of who He really is. Trust in God is an acceptance of who He is and the promises that He offer if would trust in Him. (Lesson 4, 2nd Quarter 2021 -Wednesday, Covenant Stages, 4/21/2021)
