Lord, Help Me With My Armor ~
Lord, help me with my armor,
help me to daily put it on
so to all of satan’s lies . .
I will not be swayed or drawn.
Help me with my breast plate,
so my heart I can defend
so into satan’s wicked ways . . .
I will not fall or descend.
Help me with my boots,
so I can stand firm and strong
so with satan and his army . . .
I can combat them head on.
Help me with my shield,
so my mind I can protect
so that to satan’s disguises . . .
I can easily detect.
Help me with my helmet,
so I may protect my head
so onto satan’s wide path . . .
I will not be enticed or lead.
Lord, help me with my armor,
so that to Your Spirit I may yield
the power of Your Word . . .
when I go out into the battle field!
~~~~~~~~~~
Put on the whole armour of God,
that ye may be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against
flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.

God’s Ways Are Better ~
God’s ways are not ours,
for ours ways are skewed
and often God’s direction
we don’t want to include.
We think we understand,
what God wants us to do
but we fail to look at things
from His point of view.
God’s plans are not ours,
for ours are often rash
before consulting Him
out the door we dash.
We believe we can reason,
with our own reasoning
and to God’s instructions
we are not listening.
God’s ways and plans,
are always better . . .
when we follow them
to the letter!
~~~~~~~~~~
For my thoughts
are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways
my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways
higher than your ways, and my
thoughts than your thoughts.

While The Lord Is Still Near ~
Seek the Lord while He’s still near,
while His mercy can still be found
pray for Him to direct you . . .
while His Spirit is still around.
Give to the Lord your whole heart,
call on Him while you still can
appeal to Him to renew your faith
while He still hears the prayers of man.
Search the Lord while He is nearby,
ask Him to direct you His way
study the Word He has left you
while Light still shines on your day.
Call on the Lord while He’s still close,
ask Him to keep you from temptation
inquire that He shows you His will
while there’s still a way to salvation.
Seek the Lord while He’s still present,
for one day soon He won’t be near . . .
pray that you will heed His calling
while His grace and mercy are still here!
~~~~~~~~
“Seek ye the Lord
while he may be found, call
ye upon him while
he is near:”

A Brighter Horizon ~
A brighter horizon,
is just up ahead . . .
one without turmoil
but with peace instead.
One that has views,
heavenly ~ blissful
one that awaits
all who are faithful.
A brighter landscape,
is just around the bend
one where all evil
will come to an end.
One so divine,
abundantly beautiful
one where tranquility
will be bountiful.
A brighter horizon,
a future, hopeful outlook
I envision every time . . .
I read the Good Book!
~~~~~~~~~~
But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
neither have entered into the heart
of man, the things which God hath
prepared for them that love him.

~ Be Thou Faithful ~
Be thou faithful,
be ever patient

for your benefit.
For your times,

so be still and wait
till you know His plans.
Be thou hopeful,
be also trusting
God is working
in you something.
For your life,
is in His hold
so be at peace
as you He molds.
Be thou faithful,
be trustworthy too
while God is doing . . .
something new in you!

For it is God which worketh
in you both to will and to do
of his good pleasure.

This Is My Truth ~
This is what it’s about,
this is faith, not doubt
this is believing . . .
without really seeing.
This is the one thing,
that hope can bring
knowing that eternity
isn’t some absurdity.
This is what I believe,
this is what I receive
God’s the only true One
and Jesus is His Son.
This is real salvation,
the legit foundation
this is to have trust . . .
only Jesus can save us.
This is my truth,
this is my reality
this is my belief
in totality!
~~~~~~
And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee
the only true God,
and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent.

What’s Wrong With People ~
Lord, what’s wrong with people,
wishing other’s dead . . .
who’s controlling the thoughts
going on in their head?
Why are they so full of hate,
disdain and antipathy
who’s is causing them to have
this bold lack of empathy?
Lord, what is wrong with people,
who have no compassion
who’s hardened their hearts
in this brazen fashion?
Why are they so unsympathetic,
hardhearted and unfeeling
who’s has a hold of their minds
that make them so uncaring?
Lord, what is wrong with people,
with nothing good to say . . . .
who’s keep them from finding
the Life, Truth and Way?
~~~~~~~~~~
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil:
pride, and arrogancy, and the evil
way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them
which believe not, lest the light
of the glorious gospel of Christ,
who is the image of God, should
shine unto them.

God Sees Our Tears ~
God sees our tears,
He watches them drip
He sees through them . . .
how onto hope we grip.
He knows our pain,
He understands the cause
He knows why we beg Him
to give our anguish a pause.
God sees our tears,
He notices each one fall
He sees them tumble . . .
as we weep, sob and bawl.
He knows our grief,
He empathizes with our sorrow
He knows why we pray . . .
for joy to dawn with tomorrow.
God sees our tears,
the tragic and bittersweet
for they gather together . . .
in puddles at His feet!
~~~~~~~~~~
Hear my prayer, O Lord,
and give ear unto my cry;
hold not thy peace
at my tears:

All Lives Count To God~
To God,
all of our lives count . . .
He doesn’t care about
the arguments we mount.
For He knows we are,
all embedded with sin
it doesn’t matter to Him
the color of our skin.
To God,
all lives are relevant
no matter who we are
He holds no prejudice.
For He knows we are,
all created equally . . .
what matters most to Him
is treating others decently.
To God,
all lives are viable
everyone matters . . .
to Him all are valuable!
~~~~~~~
But God commendeth
his love toward us,
in that, while we were
yet sinners,
Christ died for us.

The Reason for My Hope
I believe in God,
in all of His glorious creation
I believe He made the heavens
and the earth's foundation.I believe that man,
came from but dust
I believe it's God's image
He puts into all of us.I believe that Satan,
is the cause for our fallen state
I believe it's still his lies
he uses on us to trap and bait.I believe that man's heart,
has always been cold and callous
I believe it's full of deceit
filled with ungodly malice.I believe in Jesus,
God's only begotten Son
I believe He died and rose again
for the sins of everyone.I believe in redemption,
from our wicked, evil ways
I believe it's the blood of the Lamb
that washes our sins away.I believe in God's love,
I believe in His grace
I believe one day
God's judgement all will face.I believe in Heaven,
I also believe in hell . . .
I believe for eternity it's where
the unsaved will dwell.I believe in the hope,
Jesus imparts in me
I believe all can be saved
if these truth they'd just see!~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter 3:15
King James Version"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:
and be ready always to give an answer to

I will not be shaken,
nothing can rattle me
not even my own death
will take me, Lord from Thee.I will not tremble,
I have nothing to fear
even if I'm all alone
God is always near.I will not waiver,
on my Rock, I will stand
if I was to stumble
in His grace I will land.I will not be moved,
nothing can take away
the love I have for Jesus
from His ways I'll not stray.I will not be shaken,
nothing will take from me
the peace, faith and hope
I have dear Lord, in Thee!~~~~~~~

from him cometh my salvation.

he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
