This morning’s devotional in Streams in the Desert<\/strong> was a great reminder of the need to encourage others along the way!  When the Lord allows us to cross paths with someone in the midst of a trial from which we’ve just come, let’s be sure to offer words of encouragement!<\/p>\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/strong><\/p>\n

Call Back<\/strong><\/p>\n

“And it shall turn to you for a testimony.” Luke 21:13 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Life is a steep climb, and it does the heart good to have somebody \u201ccall back\u201d and cheerily beckon us on up the high hill. We are all climbers together, and we must help one another. This mountain climbing is serious business, but glorious. It takes strength and steady step to find the summits. The outlook widens with the altitude. If anyone among us has found anything worth while, we ought to \u201ccall back.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you have gone a little way ahead of me, call back\u2014
\n\u2019Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track;
\nAnd if, perchance, Faith\u2019s light is dim, because the oil is low,
\nYour call will guide my lagging course as wearily I go.<\/p>\n

Call back, and tell me that He went with you into the storm;
\nCall back, and say He kept you when the forest\u2019s roots were torn;
\nThat, when the heavens thunder and the earthquake shook the hill,
\nHe bore you up and held you where the very air was still.<\/p>\n

Oh, friend, call back, and tell me for I cannot see your your face,
\nThey say it glows with triumph, and your feet bound in the race;
\nBut there are mists between us and my spirit eyes are dim,
\nAnd I cannot see the glory, though I long for word of Him.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019ll say He heard you when your prayer was but a cry,
\nAnd if you\u2019ll say He saw you through the night\u2019s sin-darkened sky
\nIf you have gone a little way ahead, oh, friend, call back\u2014
\n\u2019Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track.
