God Can’t Be Contained ~
God cannot be boxed-in,
He can’t be contained
you cannot control Him
His power can’t be restrained.
God cannot be confined,
He can’t be enclosed
you cannot out-wit Him
His will can’t be opposed.
God cannot be hedged-in,
He can’t be obstructed
you cannot thwart Him
His Word can’t be corrupted.
God cannot be restricted,
He can’t be curtailed
you cannot halt Him
His plans can’t be derailed.
God cannot be confined,
His power can’t be blocked
His judgements cannot . . .
nor will they be stopped!

and who shall disannul it?
and his hand is stretched out,
and who shall turn it back?”

Man’s Plans ~
You may have plans,
you want to pursue
you may have ideas
brand spanking new.
But God’s purposes,
are the ones to prevail
and His intentions
you won’t be able to derail.
You may have a vision,
you want to maintain
you may have dreams
you want to attain.
But God’s designs,
cannot be thwarted
His will for your life
cannot be aborted.
You may have plans,
but only God will decide
the steps you will take
when He is your guide!

God Knows Our Potential ~
God knows our potential,
before we even do
to our capabilities
He has a pristine view.
God sees our weakness,
He knows our every fear
He understands we need
the way to be made clear.
God sees our strengths,
He knows our abilities
He has eternal insight
into all our possibilities.
God sees our doubt,
He knows we’re human
He knows we need His might
to get us up and movin’.
God knows our potential,
He sees what we’re made of
He knows all we need is . . .
His guidance from above!
~~~~~~~~~~
And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him,
and said unto him, The Lord is with thee,
thou mighty man of valour.
And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord,
if the Lord be with us, why then is all
this befallen us? and where be all his
miracles which our fathers told us of,
saying, Did not the Lord bring us up
from Egypt? but now the Lord hath
forsaken us, and delivered us into
the hands of the Midianites.
And the Lord looked upon him, and said,
Go in this thy might, and thou shalt
save Israel from the hand of the
Midianites: have not I sent thee?”

Be Wary ~
The wilderness can be,
a frightening place
unless we have a sufficient
supply of God’s grace.
For in the wilderness,
we will be tested
and just like Jesus
we too, will be tempted.
When we’re in a place,
we don’t want to be
when alone with danger
we need to get on our knees.
We need to draw near,
to God in prayer
for He knows our adversary
is with us out there.
The wilderness can be,
lonely and scary
and to satan’s tricks
we must be wary!
~~~~~~~~
” And he was there
in the wilderness
forty days,
tempted of Satan;

A Critical Spirit ~
A critical spirit,
fights and bickers
you can see it in those
who are nit-pickers.
They’re known to be,
quite quarrelsome
to other’s they are
more than irksome.
A critical spirit,
can be harsh and cruel
their tongues are always
in some kind of duel.
They are selfish,
it’s their way or none
they do not care
who they hurt or shun.
A critical spirit,
can be transformed
when to God’s love
it is conformed!

but love covereth all sins.”

I Trust God ~
I trust God,
His Word I heed
I trust Him
for whatever I need.
I trust God,
when I say His name
I trust Him
to remain the same.
I trust God,
for His goodness
I trust Him
for His kindness.
I trust God,
when I pray
I trust Him
to guide my way.
I trust God,
to give me shelter
I trust Him
to be my helper.
I trust God,
my life to control
for I trust Him . . .
with all my heart and soul!

will put their trust in thee:
for thou, Lord, hast not
forsaken them that seek thee.”
