Road Kill!

So often, we travel too fast,
on this road of believing
and we don’t notice God
in all that we are seeing.

Fast lanes, fast planes,
quickly gets us there . . .
and where we are going
at times we don’t really care.

We make so little effort,
to seek God along the way
and seldom recognize Jesus
as we go about our day.

We don’t ask for directions,
for we have our own road map
and we are just too proud
to lay the route in God’s lap.

On the road, on the fly,
we are constantly traveling
and we can’t see that our faith
in the Lord is unraveling.

As the road starts to narrow,
we often take the wrong turn
and then we blame God . . .
when we crash and burn.

We go to Jesus for repair,
and He fixes up the dent
but we’re not always thankful
for what is heaven-sent.

So often we travel too fast,
with God we aren’t still
and our faith and trust in Jesus. . .
ends up being ~ just road kill!

I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

God of Promise ~

Weaved throughout the Bible,
are God’s promises galore
assurances guaranteed
for us to read and explore.

There are promises of hope,
for today and the future
each one an eternal pledge
to give our soul a booster.

There’s the promise of comfort,
the wiping away of our tears
and the one that brings us peace
knowing Jesus will calm our fears.

There are promises to supply us,
with our earthly wants and needs
and deliver us from the afflictions
of our worldly acts and deeds.

And then there is this promise,
all of us must cling on to . . .
the good work that He started
He guarantees to see it through!

he was able also to perform.”
