II Timothy 4: 2 ‘Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching’.
24th September 1966 – 24th September 2016
Fifty years ago a young teenager heard and answered the call of God on his life. Hamilton Moore was to prove ‘The riches of God’s grace superseded any earthly wealth, for the spiritual riches of faith brought peace and contentment in his choice, believing that we are who He says we are and can do what He has called us to do’. He has proved that ‘Little is much when God is in it’.
How can I say thanks for the things you have done for me
Things so undeserved
Yet you gave to prove your love for me
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be
I owe it all to Thee
Chorus
To God be the glory, To God be the glory, To God be the glory
for the things He has done
With His blood, He has saved me
With His power, He has raised me
To God be the glory for the things He has done
Just let me live my life, Let it be pleasing Lord to Thee
Should I gain any praise, Let it go to Calvary.
With His blood, He has saved me
With His power, He has raised me
To God be the glory for the things He has done.
Winston Churchill penned: ‘We make a living by what we get, We make a life by what we give’.
There is a work for all to do that only eternity will reveal. Hamilton Moore made the choice to press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God had called him.
What is our goal, are we running the race to touch the finish line? Let us run with the hope that God wants us to have in Christ Jesus.
