Blessing Counting ~
Don’t number your burdens,
instead count your blessings
for burden counting, adding
can be gloomy and depressing.
So let your mind run free,
and add up all the ways
God has provided you . . .
with your needs each day.
Don’t list your complaints,
instead tally up God’s benefits
for complaining, tallying
has disheartening elements.
So let your heart begin,
to list the hopeful things
everyday into your life
Jesus sends and brings.
Don’t list all of your have-nots,
rather count the good things God has given
when your done the total sum . . .
will add up to the reasons you’re forgiven!

and forget not all his benefits:”

God Gives Shade ~
God gives shade,
to us when weary
provides a cover
when we’re dreary.
He shadows us with,
His mighty wings
helps us to rise
above all things.
God gives shade,
to us when frayed
provides a screen
when burden lade.
He shields us with,
His right hand
holds us upright
when we can’t stand.
God gives shade,
to us when dismayed
so His glory on us . . .
can be displayed!

“The Lord is thy keeper:
the Lord is thy shade upon
thy right hand.”

A Holy Fight ~
If we’re to be,
for Jesus a light
we must be ready
evil to fight.
For the darkness hates,
all that is right
and will stop at nothing
to douse our light.
If we’re to be,
for Jesus the salt
we must be prepared
for the world’s assault.
For the darkness hates,
all that is sound
and will do anything
to hold its ground.
If we’re to be for Jesus,
the salt and the light . . .
then we must be prepared
for a holy fight!
~~~~~~~~~
“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.
King James Version

Called By God ~
Called by God,
into righteous living
all because of grace
not of our own doing.
A holy pure life,
we’re to lead
so sin into it . . .
cannot breed.
Called to be saints,
without blame
in love and truth
without shame.
A fountain of life,
we are to be
so Jesus’ light in us
the world can see.
Called by God,
into a life holy
called to give up
our ungodly folly!
~~~~
“Who hath saved us, and called us
with an holy calling,
not according to our works,
but according to his own
purpose and grace, which
was given us in Christ
Jesus before the world began,”

God’s Not Winking ~
God is no longer,
winking at man
for judgment day
soon is at hand.
He wants all of us,
to be idolatry free
so with Him in heaven
we can eternally be.
God is no longer,
looking the other way
He wants everyone
to turn to Him today.
He wants mankind,
to confess their sin
so more unsaved souls
Jesus can win.
God is no longer,
at man winking an eye
He’s now looking for . . .
a heart’s repentant cry!
~~~~~~~~~
“And the times of this
ignorance God winked at;
but now commandeth all
men every where to repent:”

Today’s Verse ~ Bible Gateway- 1 Corinthians 15:20-22“But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.”

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
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope
that is in you with meekness and fear:"Copyright 2014

~ What Can Man Do? ~
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!~~~~~~~
Psalm 62:1-2
"Truly my soul waiteth upon God:
from him cometh my salvation.
"He only is my rock and my salvation;
he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved."King James Version
