God’s Advantage Point ~
Today I prayed,
asking God what to do
and He responded . . .
My will you need to pursue.
I asked Him how,
His will I may know
and He answered
My Word the way will show.
So I bowed my head,
and opened up my mind
to the truth I knew
I was about to find.
And there it was in print,
what He wanted of me
as my eyes opened up
His answer I could see.
Today I prayed,
and God did not disappoint
for He showed me what to do
from His advantage point!

Morning Praise ~
When the morning comes,
as the sun rises above
sing your praise to the Lord
for His mercy and His love.
Let Him know you’ll need,
the strength of His power
right upon the start
of your waking hour.
When the new day breaks,
as the sun shows its bright face
thank and praise the Lord
for His life-saving grace.
Let Him know how much,
you count on Him to be
a refuge and a defense
for the day ahead of thee.
When the morning dew,
catches its first beam of light
let your praises to the Lord
fill you with His holy might!
~~~~~
“But I will sing of thy power;
yea, I will sing aloud of thy
mercy in the morning:
for thou hast been my
defence and refuge in
the day of my trouble.

Jesus Will Console You ~
When heavy on your heart,
is your every care . . .
as they become too much
for you alone to bear.
Know Jesus will bring you,
comfort and relief
and console you through
all that’s causing your grief.
When hefty on your mind,
are worrisome thoughts
as they set out to bind
your faith into knots.
Know Jesus will bring you,
great comfort and good cheer
as He consoles you through
all you’ve come to fear.
When heavy and hefty,
are your problems and cares
know Jesus consolation
will lift you from your despair!

within me thy comforts delight my soul.”

Humbled ~
Humble me Lord,
show me my pride
for I know it from You
I can’t disguise or hide.
Let me see where,
my ego’s overblown
so from its pedestal
it can be dethroned.
Humble me Lord,
take me to my knees
so that all the glory
I can give to Thee.
Let my eyes be opened,
to my narcissist ways
for You are the only One
worthy of my praise.

shall be abased;

~ to GOD be the GLORY ~
Into His Holy, Glorious Light ~
May God strengthen you,
with the power of His might
until with the saints you enter
into His holy, glorious light.
May you have endurance,
to run the faithful race
may you have a heart full
of praise, joy and grace.
May you hold onto the faith,
with patience and endurance
may all you say and do
be done with temperance.
May your life always be,
to your Father pleasing
may knowledge from His Word
you always be gleaning.
May God strengthen you,
in works that are good and right
may your fruits bring others
into His holy, glorious light!
~~~~~~~
“That ye might walk worthy
of the Lord unto all pleasing,
being fruitful in every good work,
and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Strengthened with all might,
according to his glorious power,
unto all patience and longsuffering
with joyfulness;
Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be
partakers of the inheritance
of the saints in light:”
