I Have God’s Power ~
I have God’s power,
it’s right inside of me
it blesses me with faith
for things I can’t see.
It dissipates the doubt,
evaporates the fear
it allows me to believe
my God is always near.
I have God’s power,
He gave it to me the day
when to His Son . . .
I gave my heart away.
It lifted the darkness,
revealing His True Light
giving me the ability
to trust in His holy might.
I have God’s power,
to believe without seeing
it fills me with such hope
tis why it’s so freeing!
~~~~~~
And what is the exceeding
greatness of his power to
us-ward who believe,
according to the working
of his mighty power

Waiting and Biding ~
Waiting,
is just plain no fun
biding . . .
isn’t easily done.
But, God tells us,
to be still and quiet
to make daily prayer
a part of our diet.
Waiting . . .
can take so long
patience . . .
takes being strong.
But, when we follow,
Jesus’ teachings . . .
God will answer
all of our pleadings.
Waiting . . . .
is a faith trusting thing
bidding . . .
is to on Jesus cling!
~~~~~
The Lord is good unto them
that wait for him, to the
soul that seeketh him.
“If ye abide in me,
and my words abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.

Pressure Cooker Faith ~
Pressure cooker faith,
always in a hurry . . .
often blows a gasket
in its frenzy flurry.
Frantic and strained,
always under duress
pressure cooker faith
holds inside a lot stress.
Pressure cooker faith,
full of nervousness
bursting at the seams
in the stew anxiousness.
Strives so very hard,
to control its composure
pressure cooker faith
can’t help but boiler over.
Pressure cooker faith,
always ready to blow
needs inside instead . . .
God’s peace to flow!
~~~~~~
Now the Lord of peace himself
give you peace always by all means.
The Lord be with you all.

Stand Your Ground ~
Hold on fast,
stand your ground
from your faith
don’t back down.
Then when attacked,
for just believing
the truth will keep . .
you from retreating.
Be consistent,
sustain your footing
in God’s Word keep
your trust putting.
Then when faced,
with opposition
your armor will be
in prime condition.
Hold on fast,
defend your position
then stand your ground
on your convictions!
~~~~~~~~
But he stood in the midst of the ground,
and defended it, and slew the Philistines:
and the Lord wrought a great victory.
Wherefore take unto you the whole
armour of God, that ye may be able
to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.

Out of Sync ~
Sometimes with God,
I feel out of sync . . .
it’s like there is some
kind of missing link.
It feels as though,
our wires are crossed
and my link to Him
is temporarily lost.
Sometimes with God,
there is a disconnect
its like our lines . . .
no longer intersect.
If feels as though,
we no longer interface
and my gateway to Him
is lost in cyberspace.
Sometimes with God,
I feel we don’t compute
so I go into His Word . . .
and generate a reboot!
~~~~~~~~
But it is good for me to draw
near to God: I have put my
trust in the Lord God, that
I may declare all thy works.
Create in me a clean heart,
O God; and renew a right
spirit within me.

Bonding ~
God speaks in the silence,
of each morning’s dawn
He beckons to me . . .
to be willingly drawn.
He awakens my senses,
to His voice oh, so quiet
so my ears can be open
to His guiding Spirit.
God speaks in the hush,
of a gentle wind blowing
with the promise His will
I can be knowing.
He invites me to lean,
into the stillness
so I can be filled
with all of His fullness.
God speaks ever quietly,
upon morn’s dawning
so throughout the day . . .
we can keep bonding!
~~~~~~~
The Lord God hath given me the
tongue of the learned, that I+
should know how to speak a word
in season to him that is weary:
he wakeneth morning by morning,
he wakeneth mine ear to hear
as the learned.

Sandpaper Christians ~
Sandpaper Christians,
grate on your nerves . . .
their abrasive thoughts
they don’t conserve.
Raspy and rough,
full of harshness
need God to replace
their heart of hardness.
Sandpaper Christians,
rub the wrong way
thinking not before
the words they say.
Like an emery board,
that’s lost its grit
forget they are filled
with the Holy Spirit.
Sandpaper Christians,
gruff and so bold
need to learn just how
their peace to hold.
Outspoken and snarly,
their words are brutal
need to seek how to make
their lips more fruitful.
Sandpaper Christians,
on the nerves grate . . .
need God’s wisdom
to set them straight!
~~~~~~
He that is void of wisdom
despiseth his neighbour:
but a man of understanding
holdeth his peace.

Soar~
Eagles wings,
oh, how they soar
above the world’s
menacing roar.
Glide in faith,
on the air of trust
grows not weary
against the thrust.
Eagles wings,
strong and sure
torrid weather
they do endure.
Fainting not,
upon resistance
fly on hope
to go the distance.
Eagles wings,
mount and rise
above the fear . . .
before their eyes!
~~~~~~
But they that wait
upon the Lord shall
renew their strength;
they shall mount up
with wings as eagles;
they shall run,
and not be weary;
and they shall walk,
and not faint.

God Is Mightier ~
God is mightier than the battle,
you are facing right now . . .
He’s greater than your struggle
your defeat He won’t allow.
For His peace will overrule,
all your inner conflict
and His mercy will surpass
the hurt life can inflict.
God is stronger than the burden,
that is weighing you down
He’s more powerful than the storm
that’s swirling all around.
His balm is ever soothing,
it will heal all of your pain
His touch is life transforming
when in His hands you remain.
God is mightier than the battle,
that today you have to face
His sufficiency is copious
for abundant is His grace!
~~~~~~~~
“The Lord on high is mightier
than the noise of many waters,
yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.”

God’s Power Generator ~
I’ve got God’s power,
it makes me resilient
it’s energizing the faith
I need to be persistent.
It’s galvanizing,
supplying inside of me
the fuel to believe
in what I can’t see.
I’ve got God’s strength,
it’s alive and well
in my heart it grows
in my soul it swells.
It’s electrifying,
it’s mighty and strong
it sparks me to hope
in God all my life long.
I’ve got God’s power,
in me it generates
my faith and trust
it daily regulates!
~~~~~~~
Finally, my brethren,
be strong in the Lord,
and in the power of his might.

Today’s Verse ~ Bible Gateway- 2 Peter 3:10-11“But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives”

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
