Sticky Note From God 04.30.16

When All Hope is Gone ~

When all hope,
has gone out of you
when the sea ahead
turns a raging blue.

Hold on to Jesus,
let Him be your light
and the waves of depression
He will help you fight.

When all desire,
has gone out of you
when the storm you’re in
obscures your eternal view.

Hold on to Jesus,
let Him be your Rock
and the winds of adversity
He will begin to block.

When all hope and desire,
has gone out of you . . .
you’ll not be discouraged
if Jesus you hold onto!

~~~~~~

Acts 27:20

“And when neither sun nor stars
in many days appeared, and no
small tempest lay on us,
all hope that we should be saved
was then taken away.”

Peace in The Storm ~

Give me peace,
in this storm Lord
give me peace
as I know You can . . .

I need You to calm,
the raging going on
I need You to hold me
till the jolting is gone.

I need You to quiet,
the turbulence within
I need Your strength
to fight the whirlwind.

I need You to still,
the thunder in my soul
I need Your tranquility
to take in me control.

Give me peace,
in this storm Lord
give me peace
as only You can!

~~~~~~~~

Psalm 107:29

“He maketh the storm
a calm,
so that the waves
thereof are still.”

Never Lose Sight ~

When getting ready,
to take on the battle
ask God for courage
so not to be rattled.

For God will give you,
His power and might
and on the victory
you’ll never lose sight.

Before you get attacked,
be ready to request
all the help you need
to win the contest.

For God will grant,
strength to your soul
and bring the attack
under His control!

2 Chronicles 20:15

“For the battle is not yours,
but God’s.”

Life is Tough ~

Life isn’t easy,
there are a lot of bumps
obstacles and obstructions
daily we must all jump.

Life isn’t a joy ride,
there’s too much suffering
heartache, pain and grief
that keeps on surfacing.

Life isn’t a circus,
there are no safety nets
just hoops we go through
from one day to the next.

Life isn’t a breeze,
storms, there are plenty
throwing us off course
regardless if we’re ready.

Life is hard and tough,
for every one of us . . .
but we who have peace
in God put our trust!

“Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is
stayed on thee: because
he trusteth in thee.”

This is A Test ~

God’s sending me tests,
He’s giving me situations
He’s seeing if I’ll claim
His peace trough tribulations.

God’s giving me a chance,
to find new grace each day
He is seeing if my faith
will hold up along the way.

God’s working in me patience,
He wants to affirm my hope
He’s teaching me to trust Him
for the strength I need to cope.

God’s seeing if I will rejoice,
when things are askew
He’s looking to see His glory
in my life shinning through.

God keeps informing me,
Child, this is just a test . . .
so that I may experience
what is His perfect rest!

~~~~~~

Romans 5:3-4

And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that
tribulation worketh patience;

And patience, experience;
and experience, hope:”

Where Are You Lord ~

Where are You Lord,
have You forgotten me
are You so far away
that me, You can’t see?

Are You in hiding,
where then shall I find
Your peace to fill up
my soul, heart and mind?

Where are You Lord,
I have looked all around
but a glimpse of You
was nowhere to be found?

Have You nothing to say,
though I’ve so much to ask
are You under the weather
not up to the task?

Lord, where shall I go,
so that You I will see?
For, I need You to make
Your presence known to me!

” I opened to my beloved;
but my beloved
had withdrawn himself,
and was gone:
my soul failed when he spake:
I sought him, but I could
not find him; I called him,
but he gave me no answer.”

Walking in The Light ~

When we walk in the light,
we will recognize sin
we will see the darkness
that still creeps within.

We will see the rebellion,
of our old wicked ways
we will smell the stench
of our own spiritual decay.

When we walk in the light,
we will see all the wrong
we will know to this world
we no longer belong.

We will see our greediness,
our lusts for former things
we’ll know not to fall again
into the traps they bring.

When we walk in the light,
from temptation we will flee
for the light shines brighter
then the darkness we see!

~~~~~~~~

1 John 1:7

“But if we walk in the light,
as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with
another, and the blood of
Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.”

Deep Waters ~

No matter how deep
the waters get
I know that me . . .
God won’t forget.

If they be shallow,
or be they knee-high
God will not leave me
alone to get by.

No matter how deep,
my troubles may go
I know the way out
God promises to show.

If there be darkness,
or if there be light
God will lead me
be it day or night.

No matter how rough,
the waters may be
I know God will not . . .
ever forsake me!

“When thou passest
through the waters,
I will be with thee;
