Not Up For Debate ~
Sometimes God takes,
His slow sweet time . . .
as His plans and mine
don’t seem to align.
For, I want to know,
what to do right now
yet, He’d rather me bide
till He can show me how.
Sometimes God asks,
me to sit and wait
and I know it’s a topic
not up for debate.
For, I know His timing,
is always the best
and He is holding back
so I will learn to rest.
Sometimes God plans,
for me are impending . . .
to see if on His timing
He’ll find me depending!
~~~~~~~
The counsel of the Lord
standeth for ever, the thoughts
of his heart to all generations.

When At Last Jesus Returns ~
When at last Jesus returns,
He’ll bring with Him all the angels
up to the clouds He will call
the saints throughout the ages.
There’ll be a reuniting,
of all His sleeping saints
from the grave their bodies
and souls will reacquaint.
When at last Jesus returns,
there’ll be a loud command
the sounding of a trumpet
will be heard across the land.
Those who’ve been waiting,
will join their Savior in the air
as soon as they hear . . . .
the trumpet’s warning blare.
When at last Jesus returns,
to paradise with Him we’ll go
where bliss and peace eternally
will gloriously forever flow!
~~~~~~
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trump: for the trumpet shall
sound, and the dead shall be raised
incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Keep Focused ~
When you can’t see,
the road ahead
and the unknown
fills you with dread.
Keep your focus,
on Jesus fiercely
and through His eyes
you’ll see more clearly.
When you can’t decide,
which way to go
and your anxiety
begins to show.
Keep your faith,
in Jesus wholly
and He will show you
the way holy.
When you can’t make,
the right choice . . .
and you can’t hear
your inner voice.
Keep your trust,
in Jesus purely . . .
and He will lead you
most surely!
~~~~~~~~~
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth,
is come, he will guide you into all truth:
for he shall not speak of himself;
but whatsoever he shall hear,
that shall he speak: and he will shew
you things to come.

Just As Is ~
A little bit worn,
frayed and ripped
a little bit old
tattered and nicked.
A little bit used,
aged and weathered
a little bit sagged
faded and withered.
A little bit marked,
scuffed and grazed
a little bit confused
puzzled and dazed.
A little bit broken,
cracked and chipped
a little bit sheared
pruned and clipped.
But, Jesus loves me
as I age ~ as is . . .
and I’m so thankful
He still calls me His!
~~~~~~
“And even to your old age I am he;
and even to hoar hairs will I carry you:
I have made, and I will bear;
even I will carry, and will deliver you.”

The Face of God ~
The face of God,
I cannot see . . .
but it doesn’t deter
or discourage me.
For I still seek,
God and His face
each time I ask Him
for more of His grace.
The face of God,
is a mystery
but I can still feel
its trajectory.
He tracks His eyes,
to look after me
He steers His ears
to my every plea.
The face of God,
I can’t begin to picture
but, I know I’ll see it
in the near future!
~~~~~~~~
“For now we see through a glass,
darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall
I know even as also I am known.”
