Day after Day, O lord of my life, shall I stand before thee face to face? (Song 76) by Rabindranath Tagore

 

Day after Day, O lord of my life, shall I stand before thee face to face? (Song 76) by Rabindranath Tagore 

Day after Day, O lord of my life, shall I stand before thee face to face? With folded hands, O lord of all worlds, shall I stand before thee face to face?

Under thy great sky in solitude and silence, with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face?

In this laborious world of thine, tumultuous with toil and with struggle, among hurrying crowds shall I stand before thee face to face?

And when my work shall be done in this world, O King of kings, alone and speechless shall I stand before thee face to face?

Day after Day, O lord of my life, shall I stand before thee face to face? With folded hands, O lord of all worlds, shall I stand before thee face to face?

 

This poem speaks of true devotion. The poet, with deep respect for God, surrenders himself to God’s will, recognizing that God has ultimate power. He asks to stand humbly before God, with hands folded, feeling God’s presence in the vast sky and in everyday life.

Instead of leaving this beautiful world, the poet chooses to stay, work hard, and face life’s struggles. He is ready to do his simple duties, no matter the challenges around him, while keeping God in his thoughts. When his work is done and his life ends, he will fully surrender himself to God’s spiritual power.

This short, simple poem by Tagore reflects devotion and deep humility, showing his sincere desire to offer himself completely to God.

Biblical Facts - Numbers in the Bible and their Significance

  Biblical Facts - Numbers in the Bible and their Significance   The Bible frequently uses numbers both literally (for counting) and symbolically to convey deeper spiritual truths, divine patterns, or theological concepts. One in every five verses contains a number, and while not every instance is symbolic, recurring patterns reveal God's design and character. Biblical Numerology (the study of these meanings) draws from context, repetition, and associations across Scripture, though interpretations vary among scholars. Only 666 is explicitly called symbolic in the text (Revelation 13:18). Common meanings are inferred from consistent usage, such as 7 for completeness. Numbers often emphasize themes like God's sovereignty, human imperfection, testing, or redemption. Here is a list of the most commonly discussed numbers in the Bible and their typical significance, based on recurring themes and examples:   1 — Unity and Oneness - Represents the singularity and uniq...

Story of Joshua (From Birth to Death)

  Story of Joshua (From Birth to Death)   Joshua: From Servant to Leader Joshua was born in Egypt, during the time the Israelites were enslaved. His early years were marked by the stories of oppression and promise—the stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the God who had promised freedom. Though the Bible does not record the exact details of his childhood, it’s clear that Joshua grew up learning the ways of God and the laws of Moses, preparing him for a destiny far greater than any ordinary life. As a young man, Joshua first came to prominence when he served as one of Moses’ assistants. He was brave, obedient, and deeply devoted to God. During the battle with the Amalekites, Joshua proved his courage and leadership. Moses held up his hands during the fight, and as long as Moses’ hands were raised, Israel prevailed. When Moses grew tired, Joshua showed determination and led the army to victory. This was an early sign of the faith and courage that would define his life. ...
